When you ask a local search marketing expert about the key factors influencing local SEO, citations are likely to be near the top of their list. When it comes to managing these local citations you basically have two options – build them yourself, or hire a listing management service. Usually, most agencies achieve the best results by partnering with a reputable provider, as this allows them to concentrate on what they do best. But what exactly does a listing management company like Advice Local do, and what’s involved in the business data syndication process?
How Our Local Business Data Submission Service Works
At Advice Local, we employ the best elements of a conventional listing management service and apply our own unique spin. Agencies and brand partners can expect an unrivaled combination of speed, accuracy and reach for maximum visibility.
We Use a Hybrid Data Syndication Approach
One of the first things you’ll notice about our local listing management service is this hybrid approach. You may be familiar with automated services and manual submissions, and we give you the best of both worlds. Advice Local distributes local business data (via API and manual submissions) to the top data aggregators and directories. With the ability to leverage the speed and efficiency of an API and the flexibility and accuracy of manual submissions, we provide a top-tier service for our clients.
Data Submission to the Platforms That Count
We use a multi-channel distribution approach, submitting your clients’ business data to a broad range of platforms. Over the years we’ve built an extensive network that is rigorously vetted for quality and authority. For a closer analysis, take a look at this comparison of the main citation services.
