        Hi,

        You can add some keyword to the name of your GMB, but you have to be very careful.  Google will consider this technique as spam and your listing might get suspended.

          Hi, I have some experience with my Heating in Scarborough Google My Business.  I applied too many keywords for optimization and  SEO ranking. The listing was on the 7th number before optimization with too many keywords. After that it de-ranked and went on 9th/ Then I used main and a few keywords. Focused more on location I worked now it is in 5th position.
