DESCRIPTION

Local Listing Optimisation (LLO) is an essential for a successful local search strategy. It ensures that correct business Name, Address and Phone Number (NAP), categories, content and customer reviews are consistently listed on multiple local listing sites. In doing so, you can create a NAP anchor which provides greater authority in local search. However, due to the multitude and complexity of local listing sites, it is important that you follow a systematic approach to CLEAN NAP details across all sites. Pushing your NAP onto one or two sites is not enough, you need to remove conflicting NAPs that share the same business address.

Who lives at this address?

The address is fixed BUT

everything else can change

The NAP Anchor

NAP Anchor = Authority

Imagine your NAP details are listed correctly

across multiple local listing sites

NAP Anchor = Authority

Now imagine you need to change the NAP

details, but only do so on a few listing sites

NAP Anchor = Authority

Only changing a few sites with the NEW NAP details means

the OLD (WRONG) NAP details remain everywhere else.

NAP Anchor = Authority

You want the NAP Anchor to be for the NEW details

NAP Anchor = Authority

BUT the OLD NAP

Anchor remains,

and has the

greater authority

Old listings need replacingYou need to replace the

OLD NAP on all listing

sites

Google tries to organise data …NOT clean it!

Local Listing Optimisation

It just doesn’t look good!
