! Google Business Profiles for 2x Businesses Sharing Same Location !
In the scenario that there are 2x businesses that share the same location and I wanted to set up separate GBPs for them, what would happen in theory if they had the following, and how detrimental would it be?
Same Phone Number
AND/OR
Same Category
This is for a chain of businesses that operate out of or alongside other businesses.
In ALL instances the businesses have completely different names, branding, signage, and websites.
In SOME instances the businesses have completely different categories, but in some instances, they do not.
In MOST instances the businesses are leveraging the same phone number.
I want to understand the impact primarily of sharing the phone number, as I can pretty much guess the impact of sharing a category.
>>> Essentially, will Google prevent me from creating the 2nd listing? Will Google penalise one or both of the GBPs? Will there be display issues for one or both of the GBPs?
Any tips around one/both of these roadblocks? This situation absolutely warrants for 2x separate listings. Think ATMs within a service station - Very close to that kind of scenario. We need ~260 of these listings.
