How to Locate the CID Number for Your Google Business Profile


Understanding the CID (Customer Identification) number for your Google Business Profile is essential for efficient management and tracking. This unique identifier distinguishes your business listing on Google Maps. Here's a guide on what a CID number is, why it's valuable, and how to find it:






  • Pull up the listing in Search or Local Finder.

  • Select the GatherUp extension to copy the Maps URL with the CID number.


  • Another method:

    • Do a search in Google Maps for the business name and make sure it’s the only result that shows up.
    • Replace http:// with view-source: in the URL
    • Click CTRL+F and search the source code for “ludocid”
    • The CID will be the string of numbers after “ludocid\\u003d” and before #lrd

Example: If this is the code, the CID is in red:

ON+L3Y+4V8\\u0026ludocid\\u003d18208190227674681406#lrd\\u003d0x882ace1b6df9d1db:0xfcb07c8a7b49d03e
