Have you explored how your business information is showing in other search engines and map sites?
Google dominates the internet search queries, but in this day and age of privacy concerns, more people are exploring other search engines and browsers to curb the information these big companies have on us.
The beauty of it all is that most other search engines, browsers, and online map tools offer integration with the google platform to synchronize the content.
Taking control of your business information online is very important for SEO. All your data must be the same on all platforms.
Here are three tools to help you take control of your information:
Yahoo Small Business Tool
The yahoo small business tool is the place to begin. By typing your business name, you can quickly see if you are in their database. It will then prompt you to type your industry and email to do a "background check" on your business. The tool will show you all the possible outlets where your information can reside and show you errors or information not found.
You can use the information to select and manually update. You can also pay a monthly fee to keep everything up to date.
Google my business
Keeping your information up to date with Google is vital. 70% of search queries go through their platform
Remember that for Google to rank your business favorably, you need to provide your business address even if it is your home.
Bing places for business
Bing is the second largest search engine, and it is the source of information for Yahoo, Firefox, Duck Duck go, and more.
Bing can connect automatically to Google my business portal to synchronize information so that you only have to worry about keeping the google profile up to date.
