How PowerListings Can Help Your Business

When someone enters a business address or phone number into a search engine, the results can vary. The optimal outcome is that the correct business website would lead the organic results accompanied by a map listing (like MapQuest or Google Maps) and local search results. The bigger search engines provide these local listings based on their own algorithms. But in the search results directly below, hundreds of other directory listings may appear. Wouldn’t it be great if all of those directories provided accurate information through complete profiles, rather than a message that asks “Do you own this company? Fill out the details today!”

There are a few different ways a business could be incorporated in a directory, and the only way you can make sure your company’s information is accurate is if you spend hundreds of hours scouring the Internet to find every instance. And the odds of you finding every single listing are slim. Even one wrong phone number out there can quickly spell doom. If just one person finds the wrong number, they could share it with friends, write a nasty review about how no one answered the phone, and begin rumors that your company has closed down. All because they got the wrong information.

Yext helps you clear up any inaccurate directory listings and complete those that are sparse. Yext’s patented technology crawls the web looking for your company’s details in all the nooks and crannies. Then, it takes the profile you’ve created and syncs that profile across its PowerListing Network, which includes search engines, mapping apps and local service sites like Bing, Yahoo, MapQuest and Yelp. Gainesville Marketing can help you create your profile and we’ll manage it for you, too. That way when you move locations, change your phone number or open new branches of your business, all of your listings are up to date. Yext only allows the business or account managers to change the information in their PowerListings, so you don’t have to worry about a customer out for revenge inputting inaccurate data.

See what being part of a powerful network can do for you Gainesville-based business. More than 220 million businesses have benefitted from being a part of PowerListings. Gainesville Marketing is here to walk your company through the process and manage your account for a better Internet marketing strategy.
