When someone searches for a place or service near them, they receive different search results than if they are researching a general topic. These results are called “Local Search Listings” and they include a map with markers for relevant businesses, as well as business name, phone number and address information, and sometimes hours, photos and more.
We will clean up mismatched online listings for your business wherever possible and sync the accurate information you provide about your business to more than 70 local listings databases that are used by search engines to determine what information to display about you. (If your business address is private, there will be some listings that will not display your business.) Our service also allows us to hide most incorrect location information about your organization online during the time you are working with us. These changes and corrections to your business data are submitted immediately, but may take up to a month to display correctly online.
We will also claim, verify, and correct your local Google My Business listing online, since this is often the first result people see. (There is a verification process that requires action from you, either fielding a phone call or postcard from Google. Absent your cooperation, we cannot complete the process.) The Google My Business listing is critical. If, for example, your business hours are incorrect on Google but correct on your website, you may have irate customers wondering why you are not open, since the Google listing is highly visible and trusted.
Keeping these listings accurate, monitoring for problems, securing and backing up your site, and reporting to you monthly, will be at the cost outlined in your current proposal, and requires a minimum commitment of six months.
