What is my Location ID and how is it different from my PID and CID?

Your Google Location ID, PID (Place ID), and CID (Customer ID) are three different identifiers that serve unique purposes for your Google Business Profile:

Google Location ID is a unique identifier assigned by Google to each business location in their database. It is used to help users find their business on Google Maps and other Google services. You can find your Google Location ID in local clarity by going to Manage Locations and clicking single location edit. Your location ID will be shown on top. 

A Place ID (PID) is a unique identifier that Google assigns to a particular location, such as a local monument or playground. It is used to help users find and get directions to a specific location on Google Maps. Unlike the Google Location ID, which is specific to your business location, a Place ID can refer to any point of interest on the map.

The Customer ID (CID) is your unique identifier that Google assigns to each of your Google Ads accounts. It is used to help you manage and track the performance of your advertising campaigns. Your Customer ID is not related to your Google Location ID or Place ID.

Where can I find these in LocalClarity?

You can find your Google Location ID, PID, and CID  directly in the platform by going to your Manage Locations  section and clicking single location edit. Your Location ID will be shown on top followed by your PID and CID.
