Who Was the Client?
A local business that needed stronger trust signals across Google Business Profile (GBP), citations, and third-party profiles.
What Was the Challenge?
Search engines had scattered signals about the business. Some profiles were incomplete, citations used inconsistent wording, and service descriptions did not reinforce the same entity.
What Was the Strategy?
We standardized NAP data (name, address, and phone number consistency across the web), improved local profiles, created citation priorities, and aligned descriptions, categories, and services with the website and GBP.
What Were the Results?
- Local entity assets identified and improved
- Citation consistency strengthened
- GBP, website, and profiles aligned
- Directory strategy prioritized by trust value
Impact Metrics
- 68 entity assets created, claimed, or improved
- 52 citation gaps closed
- 19 target searches gained stronger local pack visibility
- 36% more calls from local search sources
Why Did This Work?
