The problem
Wrong details online? You’re not alone.
These are the Local Citations & Business Listings problems we see most often with local businesses.
Wrong details online
Old addresses and phone numbers send customers to the wrong place.
Duplicate listings
Duplicates split your reviews and confuse search engines.
Missing from key sites
Not being listed on major directories weakens your local rankings.
Why it matters
Google cross-checks your details across the web
Directories, maps apps and data aggregators all hold a copy of your business details. When those copies disagree, Google trusts your information less — and customers sometimes call the wrong number or drive to an old address.
Inconsistent data weakens rankings
Mismatched names, addresses and phone numbers send mixed signals.
Duplicates split your reviews
Two listings for one business divide your reputation.
Old details cost real customers
A wrong phone number on one directory can mean lost calls every week.
