Why are Attributes so important to optimizing your local listings? Broadly speaking, Attributes let customers see what a business has to offer, like whether a coffee shop has WIFI, a bar has outdoor seating, or if a music venue has wheelchair accessibility. Attributes can be added and edited directly by you the business owner.  This article will show you how to update attributes for a single location and bulk workflows for multiple locations.

Single Location Attributes Update

First, you will need to be logged into LocalClarity. After selecting your profile, go to the Manage Locations section. Click on which location you are trying to update and click the pencil icon for Single Edits to Locations.

Once clicking on the icon, scroll down to the attribute list, from there you can see all of the available attributes that can be applied to this specific listing. Select only the attributes that are applicable to your business.

Once you have selected which attributes are the best fit, click apply. You have now started the process of updating your attributes for a single location. You can normally see these changes on your listings in 5-10 minutes from updating.

Updating Attributes in Bulk

Instead of starting in the Mange Locations Section, you are going to select the Manage Locations in Bulk section. From there you are going to select GMB Attributes. Once loaded, you will see a spreadsheet version of what you viewed for the single location edit.

Once loaded, it will show you all of the available attributes that you can update per location. Marking YES will update the attribute for that listing to share that items like wheelchair accessibility. Once you have updated the attributes in bulk for your locations, press the update button in the right hand corner. This will then push all of the changes you made in the spreadsheet to your locations. This update can take up to 10 minutes before being visible from Google's Knowledge Panel.
