One of the pillars of local SEO strategy is maintaining consistent information about your company across the many business directories that users rely on to find your organization.

Why Do I Need Yext Local Search Listing Management?
Nearly half of all searches on Google today have local intent, and more than 75% of people who perform a local mobile search visit a business within 24 hours. Clearly, local SEO is essential for marketing businesses with any kind of local footprint, from one-store brick-and-mortar operations to healthcare, banking, real estate, and insurance marketing teams promoting multiple locations and branches.
Customers search for information about businesses on many platforms, and business listings receive 2.7 times more views than a brand’s own website. Ensuring that information is presented accurately and consistently is not only important for building trust with buyers, it’s critical to building trust with Google and improving rankings on search engine results pages. However, tracking, and correcting listings on all business directories is a challenge for time-starved SEO teams, and many businesses aren’t even aware of all the platforms where their business listing appears.
The Yext local search listing management platform integrates with hundreds of directory listing sites to ensure that business information is accurate, consistent, and optimized, enabling users to have rich experiences and search engines to have confidence in business data.
