What is "Directions"?
The Directions metric in Google My Business shows the number of people who obtained directions to your business on Google Maps. It is a measure of how many potential customers are looking for your business location and seeking directions to visit you. Having a high Directions metric indicates that your business is visible and easily accessible to potential customers, which can result in increased foot traffic and ultimately, more business.
Example: A restaurant owner can use Directions metric to track how many people are seeking driving directions to their establishment, allowing them to monitor their customer reach and optimize their marketing strategies.
