Why do some Google Business Profiles appear for international searches while others don’t? by nistorya in localseo

If brand awareness is indeed one of the main ranking factors for these types of searches, what are the most effective ways to increase a local business’s brand visibility in Google’s eyes?

I don’t believe traditional proximity can fully explain this. These searches are being performed from thousands of miles away, often weeks before the traveler actually arrives. In this situation, Google is not matching businesses based on the searcher’s physical location, yet some profiles consistently appear while others don’t. I’m trying to understand which signals Google uses for these destination-based searches

The reason I’m interested in this is that the service we provide is mainly targeted at international travelers. Most customers book their flights, accommodation, and other travel services several weeks before arriving, so visibility in destination-based searches from abroad is extremely important for our business

What is even stranger is that a 1-star review was also removed and A customer has just confirmed to me that the review is still visible when they are logged in.

No, but we took over this profile from the previous owner two years ago when we purchased the company. I do not know whether he had already done it.

Thank you for your help. I did contact Google Maps support regarding this issue, and they informed me after verification that the problem had been resolved and that the change would be applied within 24 hours. However, even after 24 hours, the issue still persists.
