Google GMB 10 Ranking Factors

In no particular order

1. Complete and detailed business information on GBP
   ^{(Surprisingly these change across the web)}

2. Keyword match
   ^{(Ask how we get 2 GMB's listed in the same physical location)}

3. Distance from the searcher to the business
   ^{(Important but not insurmountable)}

4. How famous a business is
   ^{(Our "promotion" tool helps you become famous in your local market)}

5. Backlinks
   ^{(If you're not backlinking to your GMB you're missing a big opportunity)}

6. Articles about the business
   ^{(This does not mean articles on your site)}

7. Directories that contain business info
   ^{(NAP among others)}

8. Review count
   ^{(Important but not insurmountable)}

9. Review score
   ^{(Important for both humans and Google)}

10. Organic ranking positions
    ^{(This includes 3rd party sites that mention you)}

But then again...

I  don't expect Google to show all their cards.
