Anomalies Still in Google Business Listing Search Queries, but Getting better

At the beginning of July Google My Business started rolling our Search Queries within Insights. Reporting at the time my own search queries included some really bizarre search queries, other looked okay’ish with the very odd search query here and there.

Allowing a couple of weeks to settle down I revisit my search queries and another business listing.

Anomalies in Search Queries

My businesses search queries have settled down, but still far from making sense when compared to Analytics / Search Console on traffic that have arrived via my GMB listing and UTM tracking code.

There are still some weird search results but at least Omaha beach, falun gong near me, cia airports and orphanage near me have dropped out of the results, I was getting a little paranoid.

My analytics / search console visits make complete sense for a local search and my business appearing, apart from amphitheatre.

 

Search Queries Getting Better

Looking at a local dentist their search queries are now pretty much spot on, but off when compared to analytics / search console, so certainly getting better.

The estate agent that i showed in the original launch of search queries is still displaying the rather odd search query “cock”. Not appearing in analytics / search console or any particular localised query I can replicate.

So search queries are getting better with anomalies still heavily in the mix for some business verticals.
