Keeping your business listings consistent and correct across the internet is the basis of local SEO. Putting your info on your website is not enough, because Google uses multiple directories to cross-check and validate the name, address, phone number (NAP), and other business data.

That is why you need to manage your business data on various maps, apps, search engines, social networks, and vertical directories like Yelp, Yellow Pages, Foursquare, and the like.
