Which keyword should I track first?
The plain trade name (“plumber”, “dentist”). It is what most people type on a phone, and Google Maps uses their location to choose results.
Do I need “near me” keywords?
Track one. “Near me” searches behave much like the plain trade name because Google already knows where the searcher is.
How many keywords should I track?
Three to five per location covers most businesses: the main trade, your top service, and an emergency or high-value phrase.
