I am developing a strategy for a chain of convenience stores/gas stations. I am noticing all their GMB listings are convenience stores but there is always a separate gas station listing as Exxon or big gas chain, but with the same address and phone number.
Since gas stations will get a disproportionate amount of search, I would want my client’s listings to show for both gas stations and convenience stores, not the Exxon.
Questions:
1. Should the Exxon even exist if the phone number and address are the same?
2. Would Google merge these listings? Or should I be trying to get Exxon taken down?
3. Should I claim both and keep both listings?
Context for last question: In many cases the Exxon ranks really well, so there’s some concern we’ll cut foot traffic by messing with that listing. Flip side: the client wants to promote food, drink and gas savings via Offers Posts, so if we don’t do something with this other listing our promotions will suffer.
any help appreciated!
