Place Page Security: Is your Place Page Data Secure?

If it isn't claimed and optimized – it isn't! Our primary concern is the security of your local business data. The #1 way to ensure that your business is protected is to claim your directory data both in Google and in the other major on-line directories.

Bottom line?  This data is valuable to your business and you need to control and manage it to maximize its value while decreasing your risk.

When consumers make a search they are actually shown a number of different types of results.  The three primary types of results  are Paid Ads (PPC), Local Results (Place Pages) and the 'organic or natural' website results.  Local directory or Place Page data is now highly visible.  All major search engines are given this local data increased esposure.

This local directory and Place Page data also is used to populate mobile applications and in some cases GPS mapping.  The data is used in Google Maps.

Claiming your Place Page and enhancing your local data will:

• Protect your local data from hijacking. Hijacked local listings are a major security and marketing problem.
• Correct your local business data. Over 25% of the data in local directories is incorrect. This can cost you business and decrease the visibility of your local data.
• Gain more on-line visibility. Your potential customers are online. Google and all of the directories will give top ranking (or visibility) to business listings that are claimed, corrected and enhanced.
• Protect and enhance your on-line reputation. For many organizations the Place Page will be the #1 result on Google when a customer searches for your company name and location. If you aren't controlling this information – who is?
• Give you access to your own custom online analytical dashboard – showing exactly how many potential customers see and interact with your listing each month.
