For SEO, priority is given to good customer experience on mobile devices. Consumers will use mobile devices to find desired goods or services and will generally begin these searches with a category or brand search. For example, a brand search is “Joe’s Pizza in Denver” and a category search is “Pizza in Denver”. (Note: On a mobile device the “in Denver” often does not need to be explicit.) In the case of a category search, the user has intent to purchase something in a category but has not decided or does not care about the brand. In these searches, the user’s intent is generally heavily skewed toward proximity and location. So search engines generally deliver the closest locations and it is therefore important that location information is crawlable, is displayed on each page, and is in meta-data and keywords.

This feature is only available with Local SEO Pro. The local SEO grid is a powerful feature that allows you to pinpoint which keywords are performing well in Google organic search and Google Maps. You can use these keywords to inform your client's local SEO strategy and showcase improvements over time.

You can track more than 15 keywords by activating the "Add Keywords" add-on. Each activation will give you an additional 15 keywords, allowing you access to track 30, 45, 60 keywords, etc.

The map radius will default to 1.25 miles but can be easily changed by clicking on the "Edit Keywords" button in the top right. Choose from 1.25, 2.5, 5, or 10 miles for larger cites.

The number you'll see under "Started at" shows the position of that particular keyword at the time that it was added. Keep in mind this number also changes based on the date picker you've selected. For example, if you added that keyword on January 1st, but your selected date range is March 1 - May 31, the "Started at" will show the rank on March 1st.

When a listing is created or modified in our system, the information is sent within 24 hours. The data aggregators receive this data and provide us with confirmation within 6-8 weeks. We also refresh your listing data once every month to ensure that aggregators always have the most accurate version of your listing.

Listing Distribution does not delete duplicate listings. If you are interested in duplicate suppression, we encourage you to visit our Listing Sync Pro product.

As soon as you enter your business information, we push it to the data aggregators. It can take 6-8 weeks for them to receive the information and ensure it is correct in their own databases. It is then up to the sites and sources to update their information from the data aggregators. They each query them at various intervals—some seek out the information weekly, monthly, etc. Therefore, the timeline for when a source picks up that information will vary greatly depending on their process for updating their data.

Listing Distribution is a continual process that maintains and builds your web presence over time. Once the data aggregators have your correct business information, the rate at which sites reference this information varies. To ensure the widest span of information and amount of listings created, Listing Distribution needs to be activated for an extended period of time.

Even if your business information is correct, listings can be eroded over time by user-generated content and other incorrect data. As long as your subscription is active, Listing Distribution refreshes your information with the data aggregators every week. Without this, there is a risk of allowing the current public data to change all of the value already established.
