Widewail's Listings Management service offers a central dashboard and customization across 60+ fields - enhancing reputation management, NAP and local SEO.
ICYMI: Widewail launched a new Listings Management product. We’re pretty excited.
In this post, we highlight 5 features of a listings management product that are key to helping your business expand its influence on Google and build trust with customers.
Widewail’s product makes managing listings easy with one central dashboard, from which you can push business info everywhere. This simplifies the process of updating listings; edit your info once and it’s synced across the web.
Updating business information in one place enables listings consistency online. Consistency across listings is Name, Address and Phone Number (NAP) alignment, a crucial factor in Google’s ranking. Using a centralized dashboard to make listings updates ensures customers have the same, up-to-date information, no matter where they’re looking.
Listings on Google and other sites give you the opportunity to include lots of data online. Listings management tools should make it easy to update any data you want. The option to include special holiday hours on your business listing helps customers know whether you’re open or not on important days.
Updating listings right away to account for a change in business information is crucial for building trust with prospects. Unmanaged listings are prone to errors and distrust. In fact, a 2023 study found that nearly 33% of listings had erroneous or missing website information, stopping consumers from researching the business further.
