Directory Listings Are Vital To Healthy Digital Footprint

Directory listings are vital to a health digital footprint...

There are MANY directories online and your business is most likely listed in most of them but how accurate are those listings? 100% of the businesses we polled found errors on their listings.

What does this mean...it means that your name, phone number or address are wrong or not showing.  This is going to be a problem when people are trying to find you and a bigger problem for Google to rank you.  Google won't rank inaccurate listings highly.

Below are three tips to improve your rankings:
  1. Claim Listings
    • Go to all the major directories and claim your listing.  Go to Google, Yahoo, Bing, Yelp, CitySearch and Superpages.
  2. Maps & Apps
    • Pull you business up on your phone to make sure Google Maps and Apple Maps can find your business easily.  If it doesn't...correct it NOW
  3. Update Listing
