Add the URLs for each of your location pages to your business profile.
Follow Google's guidelines to optimize each poland mobile database of your location pages.
Check each location.
List precise times.
Add photos.
Manage and respond to reviews.
Also keep in mind the following important rules about multi-location listings:
Name consistency: The names listed for each of your locations should be strong and compelling (for example: "The Home Depot" should not be called "Home Depot at Springfield").
Category consistency: All locations must include at least one category that represents the business as a whole (for example: all “PetSmart” locations would have the category “Pet Supply Store”).
However, these rules do not apply if your business locations actually serve very different purposes.
