Local Search Engine Optimization (SEO) has become a critical factor when implementing digital marketing. Local SEO boosts your company’s visibility in location-based searches.
Your location listings can be found on multiple websites including business directories, social media platforms, review sites, and more. These listings feature your institution’s name, address, and phone number (commonly referred to as NAP) – but they can also include each location’s hours, product and service listings, reviews, building images, and other “metadata.” These sites often pull from each other, but do not verify the information that they share, meaning that your data can be very inconsistent which can negatively affect your organic search ranking.
So how do you fix the invalid information and increase your ranking?
