Local customers must be able to find your website easily. This is why at BEZA.NET we build robust websites for our clients. We also make sure that you realize the value of accurate and healthy location data.
Unfortunately, many website owners take the importance of healthy data too lightly. Pay attention to this: Data health is not just reviewing local listings occasionally for correctness of names, addresses or phone numbers (also known as NAP). Healthy data is not simply about security. It also translates to an effective online marketing campaign.
Healthy Data
Healthy data provides a primary opportunity both for small businesses and enterprise brands to generate and secure more customers. Enterprise marketing is used to produce more leads compared to just maintaining a simple customer base. This approach is different from traditional marketing techniques. Healthy location data like Name, Address, Phone Number (NAP) data is not only accurate but has a wider reach as well. It should also be shared across the entire search environment which covers mobile and voice searches.
The robust location data signifies a strong brand. In fact, one research revealed that brands were able to boost data health ratings by at least 20% while traffic to location pages went up by more than 400% and conversion rates improved by over 200%. Business entities that deal with location data as useful asset in marketing can successfully develop their brands.
How to have Healthy Location Data?

Enterprises need to evaluate the strength of their data every month based on local listings. Determine the completeness and accuracy of your data on local listings.
