Online Presence Management Basics

Spread the love
Online Presence Management ensures that all of your local “citations” are correct and up-to-date. A local citation is any mention of a business online that includes your business name, address, and phone number. This is referred to as NAP.

What is Online Presence Management?

It may seem obvious that if your business name, address, and phone number is correct on your website, it’s right everywhere else, right?

Seems right – but that’s not the case.

Here’s the definitive description of OPM from Wikipedia.

Incorrect NAP Costs You Money

If your business information is missing or wrong online, more than 68% of consumers would become frustrated, lose trust in your business, and would stop using your business altogether.

That’s 2 out of 3 potential customers lost. You can’t afford to lose 2 out of 3 potential customers just because your business name, address, or phone number is wrong somewhere online.

How much is 1 customer worth to you? Double that – that’s what you may be losing.

Online Presence Monitoring is Mandatory

Even if your online information is correct initially, your online presence must be consistently monitored, updated, and corrected.

Employees who put information on FB, Yelp, or Google Business Profile often move on leaving the next employee to start over.

Your business changes location, rebrands, merges, or just changes a phone number or email address.

Governments generate data on your company and customers check-in, leave reviews, and post on social media without regard to accurate name, address or phone number.

Worse yet, hackers or even competitors can post ANYTHING about your business on many social sites and directories.

“I knew I needed a website. I did that with GoDaddy. But, that website wasn’t really doing anything to promote my business…

Paul redesigned my website and Rick did the SEO work. I quickly started ranking high in Google local search.

Paul and I now meet every week to discuss new strategies on promoting my business.

And, I learned how to do SEO from Rick.

Paul has helped me create content and products, based on my knowledge and experience, that I can sell right from my website. And, it works! We’re on an amazing journey that I’m confident will not only grow my reputation and business, but will also create residual profit for me with the products Paul has helped me create.”
