AI-Powered Local Listings (NAP) Checker

Why consistent listings matter for local SEO

Your business appears across many places online—Google, Yelp, Facebook, Bing, Apple Maps, and industry directories. When your name, address, and phone (NAP) are consistent, search engines and customers trust the info. Consistency reduces wrong calls and lost visits, and it supports visibility for “near me” searches in your service area.

How to run a simple listings audit

1. Enter your NAP above and click Build Checks to generate targeted directory searches.
2. Open each link in a new tab. Look for mismatches, duplicates, outdated names, or old addresses/phone numbers.
3. Pick a canonical NAP format (what you want everywhere). Start by aligning your Google Business Profile to this format.
4. Request edits or claim profiles as needed. Remove/merge duplicates. Keep notes and recheck in 1–2 weeks.

Where AI speeds things up

The “AI helper” creates a personalized action plan (prioritizing Google first), drafts an outreach email to directory support with the exact changes you need, and writes a short GBP update (“We’ve moved to…”) to inform customers. You can tweak the tone, but the structure and details come prefilled from your NAP.

What to fix first (and why)

• Google Business Profile — the source most customers and directories rely on.
• Big referrers in your niche — for restaurants: Yelp, OpenTable; for home services: Angi, Nextdoor; for healthcare: Healthgrades; for legal: Avvo.
• Phone number consistency — deprecate old numbers; route call forwarding during transitions.

Common pitfalls (and quick wins)

• Suite numbers get lost — include them consistently (e.g., “Suite 100”).
• Formatting differences — pick one format and stick to it across sites.
• Moved locations — close or mark the old listing; don’t leave two “open” addresses.
• Multiple categories — pick the most precise primary category on Google, then mirror it elsewhere.

Ongoing maintenance

Recheck quarterly, and anytime you move, rebrand, or change phone numbers. Keep a simple spreadsheet of logins and requested changes. Use our AI helper to keep messages consistent and fast.

How do I fix inconsistent listings after a move?

Update Google first, then align other directories. Close or mark the old location so customers don’t go to the wrong address.

What if my business name is slightly different in places?

Choose one official format and update others to match. Keep punctuation and abbreviations consistent.

Can I pay to “boost” my listings?

Paid options exist, but accuracy and completeness come first. Claim, verify, and keep info updated.

How often should I audit?

Quarterly is fine for most. Re-audit after any move, rebrand, new number, or major website change.
