Why can’t I get these listings for free/aren’t these free listings?
That is actually a major misconception! Some publishers do allow you to claim listings manually for free, but not all offer this option, and it can take weeks or months for manually claimed listings to go live. Our solution is the only one that can update all your listings information accurately, efficiently, and with exclusive content across our network of 60+ leading maps, apps, social networks, directories, and search engines including Google, Apple, Facebook, Bing, and Yahoo within just a few days.
Why isn’t this just a one-time fix? Why do I need to pay for my listings to monitored?
Each publisher, search engine, mobile app, and directory site utilizes a different method to match, merge, and select the location data it will choose to display about your business. Business listing information will often vary slightly among sources, such as data aggregators, government records, usersubmitted content, manual claims, etc. All of this can create major inconsistencies in your business listings displayed across the web. This process of hundreds or thousands of competing data sources fighting for control over what location data is displayed is constant and any data that’s displayed is always at risk for being overwritten. Instead of working around the problem, our listings solution tackles it head-on. Our direct publisher
integrations enable you to lock and update your business listing’s information at the database level, so that you’re always in control of what’s being displayed across the web. You’re not paying for someone to make manual submissions on your behalf, which most of our vendors do. You’re paying us for our technology that protect our listings from being overwritten and keeps authority in the right hands yours.
I don’t need it/want to spend my money on this.
Today, 4 in 5 consumers search for local businesses online and ⅔ of business listings contain incorrect information. If your business listings are in that majority, 73% of your potential customer base is losing trust in your business. Incorrect listings means you’re losing sales -right now. Our listings solution can fix this for you instantly so that you stop losing customers and start gaining more business.
Aren’t there cheaper options?
Technically, yes. But quality boils down to your ability to submit data to sites across the web versus actually controlling it. Other vendors simply submit listings data to aggregators with no guarantee the data will be ingested. They also have no control over that data after submission and any site can overwrite it at any time. Our technology enables you to have full control of your listings data across our robust publisher network. Hourby-hour, dollar-for-dollar, our solution is the best available.

Will this affect my ranking? I want to be #1 on these sites…
While we cannot guarantee your ranking, our solution helps make your listings ultra SEO-friendly. When search engines determine rankings, they take things like consistency, authority, and frequency of information across the web. Our solution directly addresses these factors and having all of these in check will positively affect where you rank on all sites. And don’t forget, you’ll also be in full control of the data that appears about your business on all of these sites, including Google Maps! Consider this: let’s say you ask 10 people the same question. If you get 10 different answers, you can’t be sure about any of them. However, if you ask 10 people the same question and get the same answer 10X, you can be confident the answer is correct. Search engines operate the same way, and the more often and consistently your listings information appears across them, the higher your SEO ranking will be.
How do I know this works?
We’ll give you links to all the listings you’re managing with our service, so you can verify that your information is live on all these sites. In addition, we offer exclusive analytics, reporting, and review monitoring so you can track searches and views on your profile.
I only have a PO BOX –I don’t have a physical address.
Our partner sites need a physical address in order to display your listings and will not accept PO Boxes. As a result, we require a physical address to set you up with our service. If you’re a business that services a local area, you may provide us a non-commercial address, as many publishers allow us to hide this field. However, an address must still be provided in order to get set up.
Why is your solution better?
Manual submissions require a lot of man-power and require perpetual maintenance. Other vendors will try to sell you a solution that simply does not guarantee control of your business listings, because in reality, they’re making submissions themselves too. Only our technology provides a permanent business listings solution so that you’re in full control of your listings. Our direct integrations with the publishers in our network will enable you to create and update your listings in realtime, locking them at the database level and protecting them from being overwritten.
