What’s the deal with listings?
Listings, also known as citations, is just a fancy way to describe the online mentions of your business name and contact information. Just a few years ago, listings were a non-issue. Now that every business has a website and people are making decisions based on online information, these listings have become a critical piece of the SEO puzzle.
When a potential customer searches online, business listings become a key component of ranking algorithms, and they can be some of the most visible search results for your business—or your competitors. Quantity is secondary to quality when it comes to local business listings, but a business with more accurate information will usually rank higher than one with less.
Duplicate listings
If a local business has more than one listing for a single physical location, the other listings are considered duplicates. A variety of negative outcomes can arise from the presence of duplicate listings, detracting from your local business's ability to rank well and win customers. At enCOMPASS, we’ll resolve duplicate listings and distribute accurate information.
