The Importance of NAP Citations

NAP citations—your business’s Name, Address, and Phone number—are crucial for your online presence, starting with your Google Business Listing. It’s essential that these details are claimed and accurately reflected across all online platforms where your business is listed. This consistency sends a strong signal to Google, improving the likelihood that your business will be favorably recognized and ranked.

Precision is Key

Accuracy in how your NAP is listed across different sites is critical. For example, if your business is listed on Google as "123 Any St.," it must appear exactly the same way on all other sites like Facebook, Yelp, and the Better Business Bureau. Even minor discrepancies, such as "St" versus "St.," can undermine your site's credibility and search engine ranking.

Managing Third-Party Sites

Many third-party websites will feature your business's NAP, and it’s surprising how widespread your details can be. We conduct thorough audits to identify all citations and then meticulously correct each one. This process can be challenging, as some platforms may attempt to charge for corrections or updates. Regardless, ensuring accurate NAP across the web is crucial for maintaining a robust online presence.

Ongoing NAP Verification

Keeping your NAP citations accurate requires regular checks—at least every six months. This is because third-party sites may change or revert your information, potentially harming your search rankings and online authority.
