Local Listings & Citation Management

Your business information should be found and accurate, whether it be online, offline, on mobile sources, voice search, or GPS sources. When a customer is searching for a need they want met, they go to a search engine. If your business is not visible online, or is only visible on a few listing sites, the chances of that customer finding your business are slim.

There are hundreds of listings sites, and managing them all is a difficult task. The Listing Suite is the one place where you can easily create, manage, and update your listings, saving you valuable time and energy.

Why are listings so important? Businesses and consumers have tipped the balance of power and are more empowered than ever to get information about a business and get it fast. Consumers have access to endless information at their fingertips, including information that will help them make a decision about businesses. Therefore, businesses that actively manage their online reputation and listing information will be the ones who thrive.

The journey begins with a Google, Bing or Apple search, and most often, from a mobile device. Customers are searching for businesses around them using location, top rated businesses, or sometimes by a specific attribute. If your business listing is not optimized or displaying up-to-date information on various listing sources it makes it difficult for a consumer to find you, and therefore choose your business.

When customers search, Google uses a complex algorithm to show them the best matches. Google looks favorably on businesses that have complete and accurate information because they’re easier to match search terms with. Remember the ways customers search for a business—by location, top rating, or attribute—if your business matches those terms, you will show up. Optimizing your Google listing with basic information increases your chances of fitting someone’s search requirements on Google. The same is true for the Microsoft Bing and Apple search engines.

Businesses that have an optimized Google, Bing, and Apple listing included address, business hours, phone number, business category, attributes, and photos. Ensuring the business has a complete Google My Business profile will increase your chances of being ranked highly on Google, Bing and Apple and thus, outrank a competitor.

Helping customers find and select your business requires two main considerations, correct business listings and online reviews.

If prospective customers cannot find the business online, they will go to your competition. 66% of your ability to show up in local search and outrank your competitors is directly linked to managing your listings and online reputation. Remember, 83% of shoppers will conduct an online search before entering the store.

Local search is important, but it can also be complex and overwhelming for a local business to manage. This is where Local SEO Pro comes in.

We believe that businesses should have the ability to be found accurately whether it be through online search, offline, and on mobile devices. Businesses should have the ability to update their listings in real time with changes to business hours, location, and attributes with the ability to see how their listing is performing.
