Key Success Element #6 - Local Search Rankings
WHAT THE BUSINESS SUCCESS SCAN DOES FOR YOU
Let's You See Your Current Status On 12 Critical Elements That Are Key To Your Business Success
Business owners are taken by surprise when they search for their own businesses.
Information they find, and their potential customers see, is often incorrect or out-of-date
The business owner has no clue as to where that information came from. Business owners who have already claimed their listings at sites like Google and Yelp continue to see incorrect information displayed and more likely than not do not know how or even where to start to fix it.
The main reasons that there is so much incorrect information out there
These directories tend to pull their business information from other sources that they do not own or control. So while they do maintain their own business databases they also try to match the information that comes from these other sources. That means if your business information is incorrect in one directory that incorrect information is likely to spread.
If the information that these search engines find from other sources is different
If the information is different enough, then they may believe it to be a different business. Sometimes because the incorrect information appears in so many places they might think that the incorrect information is actually the right information and therefore replace it for what you intended.
The location based app market is growing rapidly
That means sites like MerchantCircle, Foursquare, and others are becoming the mobile location providers for the Internet. The Local Search environment can be hard to navigate and even harder to get everything displayed correctly.
Over 70% of consumers who did a local search visited found businesses "near them".
The term "near me" added to searches means not only will your business show up in their search, but they are very likely to show up at your business.
