Does Your Business Information Accurately appear online at the customers exact moment of decision?
The importance of local search and having a location data management strategy has increased tremendously due to the enormous rise of mobile device searches for local businesses.
Having the wrong information about your business in places on the Internet can leave customers upset and Google confused. Either way, your business will suffer.
Have you done any of the following to your business lately?
- Moved to another address?
- Changed or added new phone numbers?
- Changed your business hours
- Acquired or merged with another company?
- Changed your business name?
- Opened a new location?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions the chances are very high you have major Location Data issues online.
Consumers are searching more than ever and these searches are taking place from many locations like a car, a living room couch, or walking down the street.
According to Google, “Near Me” searches nearly doubled in 2015 alone, and mobile searches are growing at 146% every year.

This means your business must appear in the search results right at that moment of decision or you lose that potential customer.

Multiple location Businesses MUST focus on Location Data Management
Single location businesses need to get control of their location data, but if you have multiple locations it is absolutely imperative that you analyse and fix any location data issues you may have.
In fact, the more locations you have the greater the probability that you have inaccurate or outdated information on the web. Going back to Google’s focus on the searchers “moment of decision” you may not get a second chance to grab a new customer if your location data is faulty.
