Frequently Asked Questions

What are online business listings? 

Business listings are one of the most effective ways to improve visibility in local search, but business owners don’t have the time to create and maintain dozens of listings on social networks, search engines, maps and directories.

Online business listings are like phonebook Yellow Pages—but online. These listings give consumers information about where to find you, what time you are open, and how to to get a hold of you.

What are listing websites? 

Listings websites are big online directories like Google My Business, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YellowPages.com, Bing, Dexknows, and dozens of others.

The more listings you have, the easier it will be for consumers to find you online. 

Why are your online listings important?

Almost 90% of customers perform an online search before visiting a storefront or making a purchase decision. One of the best ways to help consumers discover your business is to ensure you have correct online business listings.

Without online listings, customers can’t find important information when they’re searching for you on Google, such as your address, your phone number, and directions to your location. That’s worse than not having your address in the phone book—that’s like boarding up your windows and turning off the lights! 

Our service even generates locations in popular navigation systems, including eight car manufacturers—Audi, Ford, Toyota and more!

 

What happens when you have inaccurate listings?  

Incorrect listings lead to lost sales opportunities, frustrated consumers, weakened search rankings, and countless hours of manual updates. In fact, 73% of consumers stated that they lose trust in a brand when an online listing shows the incorrect information.

The average business has 68 online listings, and 41% of those listings have an inaccurate address. Furthermore, these businesses have an average of three different phone numbers across all of their listings.

How can you fix inaccurate listings?

When you need to change your contact info or hours of operation across dozens of sites, this will inevitably give you a headache and take tons of time.

Listing Sync allows you to update your listings from one place, so you don’t have to waste time navigating from site to site.
