Did You Know Your Business Info Might Be Wrong Somewhere You Have Never Looked?
The short answer
Yes — and it's more common than you'd think. Your business info doesn't live in one place online. It's copied and re-copied across dozens of maps, apps, and directories, many of which you've never signed up for. When one source has an old address or a disconnected number, that mistake spreads. We check the wider network, fix what's wrong, and keep it from drifting back.
The scene
A customer pulls up your business on a voice assistant while driving. It reads out an address that hasn't been yours in two years. They still show up — thirteen minutes late, a little annoyed, standing in front of the wrong building.
Or a customer calls the number listed on a directory you didn't even know existed. It rings and rings. They hang up and call the competitor listed right below you.
You didn't do anything wrong. You moved, or you changed a number, or you never claimed half of these listings in the first place. But the internet doesn't forget on its own schedule — it forgets on its own. We've spent twenty years watching small businesses lose jobs to information nobody bothered to check.
How it actually works
1. We run a scan. We check where your business currently appears across the maps, directories, and apps that customers and search engines actually pull from — not just the handful you know about.
2. We show you what's wrong. Old addresses, dead phone numbers, duplicate listings, wrong hours, wrong categories. In plain English, with a clear before-and-after, not a spreadsheet full of jargon.
3. We push the correct facts out. Your name, address, phone number, and hours get corrected and distributed across the wider directory network — the one Google, Apple, Bing, and a long tail of smaller apps and voice assistants pull from.
4. We keep watching. Listings drift. Someone edits a directory entry, an old duplicate resurfaces, an aggregator hasn't caught up yet. We monitor and correct it on an ongoing basis so this doesn't become a once-and-done project that quietly falls apart again next year.
What it costs, and what it can't do
We'll line-item it when you're ready — pricing depends on how many listings need fixing and whether you're also adding directory-level cleanup underneath it. Ask and we'll give you real numbers for your business, not a range that means nothing.
Here's what it can't do. It won't write your website copy, build your brand personality, or replace real reviews and real SEO work — this is the plumbing, not the paint. Some directories are slow to accept corrections, and a few stubborn ones don't offer a clean edit path at all; we push and monitor, but we don't control every third-party editor on the internet. And it won't undo damage that's already been done — a customer who showed up at the wrong address last month is gone. What it does is make sure the next customer walks through the right door.
Who this is a good fit for
A good fit if: – You've moved, rebranded, or changed your phone number in the last few years – You've ever Googled your own business and found something wrong – You operate in more than one location and worry about consistency – You've never actually checked what a map app or voice assistant says about you
Probably not the priority right now if: – You've recently run a full listings cleanup and know it's accurate everywhere – Your bigger problem is that people who find you correctly still aren't calling — that's a different conversation, and we'll tell you so
How we'd set it up for you
Consult — we run a scan and walk through what's actually out there about your business today, good and bad, in plain language.
Create — we correct the facts and push them out across the wider network, prioritizing the sources that matter most for your industry and location.
Support — this goes on ongoing monitoring so a stray edit or a stubborn duplicate doesn't quietly undo the work. You get a Care Plan, not a one-time favor.
We've been doing this for over 20 years, across more than 500 completed projects, and about 75% of our customers have been with us 10 years or more. Everything we host runs under 24/7 monitoring. You understand your business better than anyone else — we make sure the internet describes it the same way you would.
How do I even know if my info is wrong somewhere?
Most owners only check the version they see on their own phone, in their own city — which is the most flattering test possible. A proper scan checks the wider network, not just your own search results.
Will this fix my Google Business Profile too?
Google is part of the picture, but it's not the whole picture. This is about the broader network of maps, directories, and apps that also carry your information — some of which feed data back into Google over time.
How long does it take to see corrections?
Some updates show up within weeks. A few directories move slower, and a handful require manual follow-up. We'll tell you honestly what's fixed and what's still working its way through.
Do I need to do anything on my end?
Mostly no. We need your correct, current facts once — address, hours, phone, service area — and then we do the pushing and the watching.
