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.

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!
