Citations & Consistency
Old or duplicate listings cleaned up
Old addresses, previous phone numbers, or duplicate profiles from years ago can quietly work against you, they confuse both customers and search engines about which listing is the real one.
- Search your business name across major directories and Google Maps to check for duplicates
- Claim and merge or remove any old, incorrect, or duplicate listings you find
- This often turns up surprises, like a listing from a previous address you forgot existed
- Clean, consistent listings are worth more than a large number of messy ones
If you already have business listings, use this as a reminder to make sure to clean them up and ensure that the listings’ name, address, and phone number are consistent with your Google Business profile.
An easy way to do this is to simply Google search your business name and look through all of the citations and business listings that appear. Go into each one, log in, and make any tweaks and update any listings that require updating.
