Clean Local Search Signals, Step by Step

Local Signals: What Data Aggregators Compare

First pass. Volume flatters a report; agreement is what actually moves discovery searches.

Directory profiles, briefly. Local search rewards the ordinary and the verifiable more than it rewards the novel.

Fix the Source, Not the Symptom

Ongoing Put plainly, handle the high-authority sources by hand and batch the long tail afterwards.
Later Keep a change log; six months on, nobody remembers which field was edited or why.
Week 2 Begin by pulling every existing record into one sheet before changing anything.

Keeping the Record Straight

Treat the service area as a single source of truth, not as a field to be improvised per site. An abandoned profile is easy to miss because nothing visibly breaks, more so after a move or a rebrand. In the ordinary case, the work sits awkwardly between marketing and administration, which is why it gets skipped.

For restaurants and cafés, discovery still begins in a map or a directory more frequently than on a homepage. Photograph or screenshot each profile before editing -- reversions do happen. In practice, where the agency of record has changed twice, expect mismatched opening hours somewhere in the profile.
