How Listings Management runs

How listings work runs

Claim, correct, then hold the line.

01
Inventory

Every profile that exists for the business, including the duplicates nobody claimed.

02
Reconcile

Name, address, phone and hours made identical across the aggregators and primary directories.

03
Enrich

Categories, services, attributes and photos filled in where most listings sit half-empty.

04
Monitor

Standing checks for third-party edits, merged duplicates and hour changes around holidays.

What listings work actually produces.

Listings management is bookkeeping for your business identity: one name, one address, one phone number, one set of hours, held identical across every place a search engine looks. The work is unglamorous and the compounding is real, because a map pack will quietly demote a business whose hours disagree with themselves.

  • A claimed and verified Google Business Profile per location, with categories, services, attributes and a 750-character description written for humans.
  • An audited spreadsheet of every directory profile found for the business, marked claim, correct, merge or suppress, delivered before any edits are pushed.
  • Name, address and phone normalisation across the four data aggregators plus roughly forty primary directories, including Apple Business Connect and Bing Places.
  • Duplicate suppression requests filed with each platform, tracked by case number until the platform confirms the merge in writing.
  • Holiday and seasonal hours loaded twelve months forward so nobody has to remember the week of Thanksgiving.
  • Ten geotagged photos and a logo-plus-cover set per location, sized to each platform's current crop rules.
  • A monthly one-page report showing profile views, direction requests, calls from the profile and any third-party edit we reverted.

The first ninety days of a listings program.

  1. Week 1
    Inventory

    We search the business name, every former name, every suite number and every old phone number, and log what comes back. A twelve-year-old business typically surfaces between eighteen and sixty live profiles.

  2. Week 2
    Claim

    Verification postcards, phone PINs and video walkthroughs are filed in parallel. Google video verification is the long pole and can take ten business days on its own.

  3. Week 3–4
    Correct

    The canonical record you signed off on is pushed everywhere at once, so no platform is left arguing with a neighbour about which suite number is real.

  4. Week 5–8
    Enrich

    Categories, services, products, opening dates, payment types, accessibility attributes and photos are filled in on the profiles that drive actual traffic.

  5. Month 3 onward
    Hold

    Standing monitoring for user-suggested edits, category drift and reappearing duplicates, with anything material fixed inside two business days.

What we need before we can claim anything.

Nothing gets pushed to a live directory until you approve the canonical record in writing. That single approval is the thing the whole program defends afterwards.

  • The exact legal name and the exact trading name, if those differ, plus any name you traded under previously.
  • Suite, unit or floor detail as it appears on your lease and on your mail.
  • A tracked phone number if you use one, and the number it forwards to.
  • Owner-level access to the existing Google Business Profile, or the email address it was created under.
  • Your real hours, including the days you are open by appointment only.
  • Service-area boundaries by city or ZIP if you travel to customers rather than seat them.

Three listings cleanups, with the counts.

One clinic, forty-one profiles

A Westlake Village practice had forty-one live profiles carrying three suite numbers and two phone numbers. Twenty-two were corrected, eleven merged, eight suppressed; direction requests rose over the following quarter.

Six locations after a rebrand

A six-location retailer changed names and left every legacy profile intact. We rebuilt all six canonical records, filed twenty-nine merge cases and cleared the last stubborn aggregator record in month four.

A move across the valley

A studio relocated four miles and lost its map-pack position. Re-verifying the new address and rewriting the service area restored ranking for the neighbourhood queries that mattered.

Reporting cadence and data ownership.

Claiming and correcting is front-loaded: expect the bulk of the visible change inside the first sixty days, with aggregator records lagging because they refresh on their own schedule rather than ours. After that the work is maintenance, and maintenance is where most businesses lose the ground they paid to gain.

Every profile stays in your ownership. We work as a manager on your account, never as the owner, and if the engagement ends you keep the logins, the audit spreadsheet and the canonical record document with no handover fee.

Questions we get every week.

Most engagements kick off within 10 business days of signature. Rush starts are possible for existing accounts and referrals.
