Online Listings, Business Citations, Local Search, Directories & More
Accurate, consistent and updated business information is critical for any local business that wants to succeed online. Contractors are no exception to this rule. Online listings, also referred to as business citations, come in many shapes and forms for a local business. The most important include:
Local Directories- Social Media Sites
- Consumer Review Sites
- Search Engine Business Pages
Online sites such as Yelp, Yellow Pages, Facebook, Google My Business, and City Search are just a few of the many important listings that must contain accurate information. The primary elements of a business citation consist of Company Name, Address, Phone, and Website. It is absolutely critical that this information is exactly consistent across all online listings. Your business citation is complimented by additional information such as hours of operation, payment methods accepted, photos and much more.
Why Are Business Listings Important for Contractors?
- Builds trust with Google and the other search engines
- Directly increases your website rank
- Ranks your local listings above competitors
- Provides prospects with accurate information
- Builds authority of your brand
- Increases your reach to more prospective customers
- Locks down your profile to your business
- Protects your business from competitors damaging your reputation
Having inconsistent information, out of date information or missing information can be harmful to your business. Bad information will provide inaccurate information to prospective customers, such as a bad phone number, leading them to believe that you are no longer in business. Aside from a bad customer experience, there is also a negative impact to your website rank, your listings rankings and online trust of a legitimate business. Duplicate listings will also confuse Google and will re-rank your company on the web.
Listing Management & Maintenance
List management is not a one-time endeavor. Nor is it an easy or quick process to conquer on your own. Your business listing is driven from various public data sources and data aggregators online that you do not have direct control over.

In some cases it\’s difficult to contact the data provider to have it updated and in some cases you have to jump through hoops and verify that you are the business owner.
