How does Google leverage local listing information to enhance search results?

Aggregates Diverse Data Sources: Google collects business details from public records, third-party directories, user-generated content (such as reviews, photos, and Q&As), and direct business inputs to create comprehensive local listing profiles.
Powers Relevant Local Search Results: Accurate and consistent listing information enables Google to display businesses in local search results, including Google Maps, the Local Pack (top three local results), and location-based queries, boosting visibility for relevant audiences.
Drives Targeted Lead Generation: By prioritizing verified and optimized listings, Google connects businesses with high-intent local customers, increasing the likelihood of conversions and foot traffic.
Enhances Business Insights: Google uses listing data to provide actionable analytics through tools like Google Business Profile and Google Analytics, empowering business owners with performance metrics and customer behavior insights.
Improves User Trust and Engagement: Up-to-date and reliable listing information fosters trust among users, encouraging interactions like clicks, calls, or direction requests, while supporting Google’s goal of delivering high-quality search experiences.
