Why Managing Your Listings is Important for Your Business

Zach Huffman

Every Business Needs A Strong Foundation!

Digital marketing is a complex process with many moving parts, including social media management, website development, and review management. Yet one of the most important aspects of online marketing is often one of the least considered, and that is business listings management.

 

Correct Listings Attract New Customers


Say you’re promoting your product online and a random user becomes interested and wants to purchase it from you. They will search for you online, get your business’s phone number or address, and contact you. If your contact information is out of date, incorrect, or just non-existent, your would-be customers will struggle to contact you and may lose interest in your product.

 

Not having a correct business listing is a serious problem for businesses because it weakens customer trust in your brand. In fact, 73% of customers said that an incorrect listing impacted how much they trusted a company and if they would purchase from them.
