Question: GMB listing on the right hand side?

[Mark Quadbang]

Hi all,

Why is it that on some searches only 1 GMB listing shows up on the right hand side?

Is it because there is only 1 listing for that local business? or is it something else?

If someone was to add their own listing would it then become like a 3 pack in the middle of the page? (or perhaps 2 pack in this scenario)

If the search keywords is exact the business name then this will happen.

If the search keywords is exact the business name then this will happen.

is there anyway to steal that persons knowledge panel spot if you make a listing with the exact same name?

no, but you search for other keywords and grab that business panel. Keyword should be relevant but keep in mind that using keywords is not at all allowed by Google in GMB.

I think the possition depends on what it is, how many results and if local search is on. Placement is still a thing (I think) they are split testing...

Depends on the content and or if the service is local based or not. Normally it will show the top or most popular hit top with suggestions / alternatives below.
