FAQs

Question: How is the Profile Health Score calculated? Answer: The score is based on the completeness of key profile details, including business information, contact details, images, and other essential data points.

Question: How often should I check my Profile Health Score? Answer: It’s recommended to check periodically, especially when making updates or expanding your business presence.

Question: What happens if I leave sections incomplete? Answer: Incomplete profiles may have reduced visibility and engagement potential, as essential information helps customers find and trust your business.

Question: Can multiple locations have different Profile Health Scores? Answer: Yes, each business location has its own profile, and therefore its own individual health score based on the completeness of its specific information.

Question: How do I access the Profile Progress Tracker?
Answer: To access the Profile Progress Tracker, navigate to Reputation on the left side of your account, then click on Listings at the top section. From there, you can view the Profile Health Score indicator and check the current completion percentage of your profile.

Question: Is there a specific requirement to use the Profile Health Score feature?

Answer: Yes. A prerequisite for using this feature is having an Online Listings Subscription. Without this active subscription, the health score and tracker will not be available.

Question: Why did my Health Score drop suddenly without me changing anything?

Answer: This can happen if the system introduces new “essential” fields (like new social media integration options or expanded business categories) or if your Online Listings Subscription has lapsed. It’s a good idea to check the “Actionable Insights” to see if a new requirement has been added.

Question: Can I improve my score by adding “Keywords” to my business name?

Answer: We recommend against “keyword stuffing” your business name, as this can lead to suspension on certain listing platforms. Instead, use the Actionable Insights to place your keywords naturally within your business description and services categories to improve your health score safely.
