Talk strategy

Why online listings matter

Listings are the connective tissue of local search. Inconsistencies make Google and customers second-guess you.

Business name, address and phone consistency

We audit and align your NAP across the major directories so your business looks like one business, not five.

Directory visibility

From Google and Bing to Apple Maps, Yelp and industry-specific directories, the right ones for your category.

Trust signals

Consistent listings, reviews and citations all feed into the trust score Google quietly assigns your business.

How listings support local SEO

Strong, consistent listings reinforce Local SEO and Google Business Profile performance. They're not optional.

Common listing mistakes

Duplicate profiles, abandoned listings, old phone numbers, dead websites. We find them and clean them up.

Common questions

How many directories should I be on?

The right ones for your industry and area, not 200 random ones. Quality beats quantity.

Can you remove duplicate listings?

Yes. It's one of the most common and most damaging issues we fix.

Why does NAP consistency matter so much?

Google uses your name, address and phone number to confirm you're a real business. Inconsistent details dilute trust and hurt local rankings.

What directories matter most in Australia?

Google Business Profile, Apple Maps, Bing Places, Yelp, True Local and any industry-specific directories that apply to your trade or region.

How long does listings cleanup take?

A full audit and cleanup across major directories typically takes two to four weeks, depending on how many duplicates and inconsistencies we find.

Can incorrect listings really hurt my rankings?

Yes. Conflicting information makes Google unsure which details to trust, which can suppress your local pack visibility and confuse potential customers.
