Alan Bleiweiss: If you have a local number for each location, I recommend to clients that is the number to go with in GMB, since GMB is based on people who are in that local area. They don`t need the toll free number. Google even state they prefer to see the local number: ____________________________ Provide a phone number that connects to your individual business location as directly as possible, and provide one website that represents your individual business location. Use a local phone number instead of central, call center helpline number whenever possible. ____________________________ This is also why it`s best to link from each GMB listing directly to the unique location page for that location on your own site when you have more than a couple locations, instead of your home page.
