More specifically: Impressions and Clicks for the desired keywords
In GMB/GBP: whatever CTA drive business – Calls, Bookings, Directions, Clicks to website -

GuestApril 19, 2026 at 9:31 pmFrom my most recent experience, clicks from organic. Impressions are okay but there is no business value in them and most recently, Google has said themselves that they’re very inaccurate.
The best metric would be conversions, but there are very few businesses with accurate enough tracking to know a conversion came from SEO as a source.
