An important part of any search engine optimization<\/a> plan must include getting your business on as many of the local and social listings as possible.\u00a0 In addition to keeping your name and address out there, people use these listings to talk.\u00a0 And talk generates interest in your business and your site.\u00a0 Good reviews always help boost your profile as well.<\/p>\n

Name, Address, Phone Number Consistency<\/h2>\n

Listing Sites are important for two reasons when it comes to your SEO strategy. For one, they help affirm NAP consistency across the web. NAP consistency stands for Name, Adress, and Phone Number. The more this information is consistent across the web, Google and other search engines are able to confidently rank your site in search as these important business details are consistent.<\/p>\n

Reputable Backlinks<\/h2>\n

Another reason these listing sites are important is they help in gaining reputable backlinks to your website. The more your website is linked on other reputable sites only improves your Search engine optimization. Furthermore, many of these listing sites can be industry-specific. There is a chance potential customers use these listing sites as a resource to find the right company to use. If you are listed on these sites, it will only improve your visibility in the space.<\/p>\n

Review Platforms<\/h2>\n

Through the years, many of these listings site has improved their relevance by being the source for reviews within a certain industry. Implementing a brand management solution within these listing sites will provide users a 1-5 star rating in many sites that customers view as reliable. Having a high star rating almost always coincides with higher lead generation. Businesses with consistent low ranking across the web in terms of testimonials usually have their search results impacted as GOogle and other search engines don’t want to refer companies where many customers have had a bad experience.<\/p>\n
