Google Highlights Obtain Your Google Business Profile Knowledge When You Take away Your Itemizing

In the new Google Business Profile manager, in Google Search, when you go to the option to remove your Google Business Profile from Google, Google will show you that you can download all of that content locally to your computer.

This was first spotted by Claire Carlile and posted on Bright Local and then Colan Nielsen posted on Twitter about it, which is where I caught wind of it.

Here is his screenshot:

Just a note, while this “download content” messaging is new here, Google has had the ability to download your Google Business Profile data in Google Takeout for a while.

I guess it doesn’t hurt to download your data every now and then, you might find some good nuggets for your customer service and analytics teams?
