Listings Management

The smarter way to manage listings

The local listing landscape evolved

A decade ago, consumers used hundreds of different sites to discover businesses.

But now, just a handful of sites dominate consumer engagement.

A new listings landscape

1. The Engagement Layer

Sites where consumers discover, evaluate, and engage with your brand.

These sites are your most important digital storefronts. Regular maintenance and protection from rogue edits are crucial for safeguarding your reputation and delivering a superior customer experience.

Google | Apple Maps | Facebook | Bing

2. The Authority Layer

Sites that build authority with search engines.

Customers rarely look on these sites, but accuracy of basic business information (Name, Address and Phone) is key for gaining trust and authority with search engines.

Sites like: Manta | Merchant Circle | Tupalo | Hotfrog | Superpages

Traditional listings management software didn’t evolve

Other solutions still treat listings in the Engagement and Authority layers the same (they’re not!)

You’re left paying a premium to ‘rent’ your listings on their one-size-fits-all networks. 

But it doesn’t have to be that way…
