      Hello my name is kyo- in japan.
      I saw the information on the elements contributing to the high-level display of GMB.
      The thing I wondered is the following items.
      What does this mean?

      ・Physical Address in City of Search
      →Is the searched area name entered in GMB?

      ・Consistency of Citations on the Primary Data Sources
      →whats the" the Primary Data Sources"?

      ・Consistency of Citations on Tier 1 Citation Sources
      →whats the"Tier 1"?A site that everyone knows?

      ・GMB Primary Category Matches a Broader Category of the Search Category (e.g. primary category=restaurant & search=pizza)
      →In Japan, the size of the category is not set. Italian restaurants are only Italian restaurants. Should I set a restaurant instead of an Italian restaurant?

      ・Quantity of Inbound Links to Domain from Locally Relevant Domains
      →Is this an LP inbound link?
      What is the locally relevant domain?

      ・Quantity of Inbound Links to Domain from Industry-Relevant Domains
      →Is this an LP inbound link?
      What is the Industry-Relevant Domains?

      ・Quantity of Citations from Locally Relevant Domains
      →What is the Industry-Relevant Domains?

      Prominence on Key Industry-Relevant Domains
      →I do not know what this means.

      Quantity of Citations from Industry-Relevant Domains
      →What is the Industry-Relevant Domains?

      Geographic (City/Neighborhood) Keyword Relevance of Domain Content
      →I do not know what this means.

      Driving Directions to Business Clicks
      →Driving Directions set?

      Enhancement/Completeness of Citations
      →I do not know what this means.

      Proper Category Associations on Aggregators and Tier 1 Citation Sources
      →whats the Aggregators and Tier 1 Citation Sources?

      Quantity of Inbound Links to GMB Landing Page URL from Locally Relevant Domains
      →How is this measurement done?

      Overall Velocity of Reviews (Native + Third-Party)
      →How is this measurement done?

      Proximity of Address to Centroid
      →I do not know what this means.

        Hi Kyo,

        Please, check out the illustrated guide to the Top 20 Local Search Ranking Factors, which I wrote in 2017. It provides a thorough explanation of the most important ranking factors listed in that survey. I hope this helps you out with definitions, and if any questions remain after you've read through it, please let us know. Thanks!
