Sounds simple, but there's a lot more to it than meets the eye! Some sites allow you to manually claim listings for free, but on those that do, it can take weeks or months for manually claimed listings to go live. Our solution is the only one that can give you definitive control, so that you can update and manage your location data across our network of 60+ leading maps, apps, social networks, directories, and search engines including Google, Apple, Facebook, Bing, and Yahoo — from once place and within just a few days or less.

Each app, map, search engine, directory, GPS device, and social network gathers data about businesses like yours from different sources, like data aggregators, government records, user- submitted content, and hundreds more. They also have their own individual method of matching, merging, and selecting the location data they display in your business listings. That’s not all!These sites are constantly refreshing this data because they know businesses change — they open, close, move, rebrand, etc. — all the time.

All of this together — different data sources, selection methods, and refreshment — creates a perpetual cycle of sources competing for control over the location data displayed. All factors considered, your business listings are always at risk of being overwritten. Instead of working around the problem, our listings solution tackles it head-on.

Our direct integrations with the sites in our network enable you to lock, update, and manage your location data at the database level, so that you can control your business listings across the web. Unlike other vendors, you won’t be paying for someone to make manual submissions on your behalf. You’re paying us for our technology, which protects your business listings from being overwritten and keeps authority in the right hands — yours.

That’s great, but it’s only one piece of the puzzle! Managing your Google My Business listings won’t ensure that your location data is correct across the web — not even on Google itself.That’s because local businesses are constantly changing — opening, closing, moving, etc. all the time.

All apps, maps, search engines, directories, and social networks know this, and they also know business owners aren’t going to call to let them know. So what do these sites do? They all cross- check each other to make sure the location data they have is consistent, and therefore accurate.Google will compare its data against smallersites, like Superpages and WhitePages, and vice versa. The more consistently the data they have compares to others, the more confident the site will believe it’s correct and accurate, and the more likely it is to show the data to its users.

Now you can see that Google takes into account far more than just confirmation of your location data on its properties, because as the world’s most powerful search engine, they’re not going to leave it to just one source to confirm the accuracy of the data they serve their users. Our powerful network of apps, maps, search engines, directories, and social networks will help you control your data across the sites that Google checks against, so that your location data is consistent everywhere.
