Should You Rename A GMB Listing Named After Its Domain To A Proper Business Name

In the 245th episode of Semantic Mastery's weekly Hump Day Hangouts (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQpnDzjVCuA), one participant asked if should you rename a GMB listing named after its domain to a proper business name. The exact question was: I have a client, let's call him John Smith. He has recently launched a local coaching business and he is marketing it on his new website https://ift.tt/2LrQKEZ. He asked me to do his SEO with press releases only. He also has created a GMB listing where he has named his business as ""JohnSmith.com"". So his NAP looks something like this: JohnSmith.com 123 Street Name City Name, AB 12345 Phone (123) 456-7890 My question is this: Will Google recognize his GMB business name, JohnSmith.com, when I am doing citations in the press releases? Or should I ask the client to rename the business to John Smith Coaching or something like that? #gmblisting #googlemybusinessoptimization #napconsistency More videos about SEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20AURKe0smg&list=PL1oO3mUVEcfpUc753HsfSJpvv4bicf5_M More videos about Lead Generation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSW-bwm-Lko&list=PL1oO3mUVEcfrS3wwtHTt6Ls24_8_ZAZJK More videos about Google My Business: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5u_nYzxH3Ps&list=PL1oO3mUVEcfrpP1E3l1UE-XaGuHys5sT- More videos about SEO Questions Answered on Hump Day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYv44gXnC68&list=PL1oO3mUVEcfo33kNReI6LwcM3MfgGoVpm Start with the Battleplan - your "Art of War" Playbook that combines decades of distilled SEO Experience and Cutting Edge Practices: https://ift.tt/2rmHAjA Ready to start OR grow profitable local digital marketing agency?
