Introduction to Profile Completeness

Your Profile Completeness score is an indication of how complete your Profile is in Moz Local for each location you manage. Profile Completeness is available from the Dashboard and Profile sections of Moz Local.

If you manage multiple Moz Local locations you'll also see an overview of Profile Completeness for all your managed locations from the Global Dashboard.

This guide will take you through how to find the Profile Completeness panel if you manage a single location or multiple locations with Moz Local, the four stages that make up Profile Completeness, and how to reach 100% Profile Completeness.

Four Levels of Profile Completeness

Profile Completeness is broken down into four levels, each level comprises specific fields which account for different weights within the overall score. You will be required to complete specific profile fields in order to move up to the next stage. The more important a field, the earlier the stage it is required for. You can see the breakdown of Required, Basic, Advanced and Bonus profile information here:

  • Required = 25% (name, address, phone, categories)
  • Basic = 45% (opening hours, short or long description, photos, Google attributes if available)
  • Advanced = 20% (keywords, services)
  • Bonus = 10% (website, email)

How to Reach 100% Profile Completeness

To help you reach 100% completeness for your location(s) you’ll be prompted to enter the information required. In this example we need to add a logo and photos as explained on the Profile Completeness panel.
