The problem

A business that has moved, rebranded or changed phone numbers usually has forty listings with the old details still live. Search engines cross-reference those, and the inconsistency erodes confidence in which version is right — while some of your customers are still calling a disconnected number.

How we do it

What the work actually involves

/01

Find every listing, including the ones you did not create

Aggregators syndicate business data automatically, so listings exist that nobody at your company ever made. Those are usually where the wrong address survives.

/02

One canonical record, applied everywhere

An exact name, address and phone format agreed once and used identically on every platform. "Suite 4" and "Ste. 4" are the kind of difference that costs consistency without ever looking wrong.

/03

Quality over count

Fifty relevant directories beat five hundred scraped ones. We prioritise the aggregators, the industry-specific directories and the local ones that carry weight in your market.

/04

You keep the logins

Every account is created in your name with credentials handed over. Citations built inside an agency’s account are a hostage arrangement, not an asset.

For most local businesses, forty to sixty well-chosen ones. Beyond that the returns flatten quickly. Packages promising hundreds are counting scraped directories that no person visits and no search engine weighs.
