Updating Your Business Information Improves Visibility

Updating Your Business Information by identifying existing online listings:

To begin the process, we recommend conducting a comprehensive search to identify all the platforms where your business is already listed. This includes popular search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing, review sites such as Yelp, industry-specific directories, social media platforms, and local business directories. Understanding your current online presence is essential for effective management.

Create a master document:

Once you have identified all your online listings, compile a master document that includes all the necessary data about updating your business information. This document should encompass details such as your legal business name, address, phone number, website URL, email address, operating hours, and a brief description. Having this information readily available will serve as a reference for updating your business details consistently.

Claim your business listings:

For platforms that offer businesses the option to claim their listings, follow the verification process to gain control over your business profile. This typically involves verifying ownership through a phone call, postcard, or email. Taking control of your listings will enable you to update information promptly and accurately.  We recommend starting with your Google Business Profile.

Update information on each platform:

Log in to each platform individually and use the master document to update your business information consistently. Pay attention to details like spelling, formatting, and contact information to maintain a professional and trustworthy online presence. The simplest of discrepancies such as Street vs St. or Suite vs STE, can confuse the algorithm. Creating consistency across all platforms is vital in establishing a cohesive brand image.

Enhanced Credibility and Trust

Add additional details:

Take advantage of the features offered by different platforms to enhance your business profile further. This may include uploading high-quality photos, crafting a compelling business description, specifying service areas, providing links to your social media accounts, and enabling online booking or appointment scheduling. These additional details can help attract potential customers and showcase your business in the best light.

Monitor and manage reviews:

Regularly monitor and respond to customer reviews across different platforms. Engaging with your audience and addressing their concerns promptly demonstrates your commitment to excellent customer service. By actively managing reviews, you can maintain a positive reputation and foster trust among your potential customers. Reputation Management should be a part of any local SEO efforts.

Regularly review and update:

Setting aside dedicated time to periodically review and update your business information is crucial. Because your business information can be updated through AI algorithms. AI updates can include information such as contact details, operating hours, location, product listings, and more. It uses a variety of information sources to update your business information.
