Optimize Your Local Listing!

It’s probably safe to say that people are not breaking out their Yellow Pages book when searching for a restaurant or local business. Rather, they are turning to their smart phone, desktop, tablet, or laptop. Is your business optimized for local search directories? If not, you are most likely missing out on profitable opportunities.

With the vast amount of databases and directories out there it can be quite difficult to ensure your business listings are present and accurate. What if you change your phone number or move to a new location?

As a business owner, you must not only claim your business on each directory, but must also update the business information to be accurate. Ferocious Media’s Listings Management service simplifies this process. With a single update in our dashboard, your business listings across the entire web are updated.

One of the most important aspects of claiming your business online is the subsequent ability to respond to reviews. Ferocious Media’s Review Monitoring service allows you to see what people are saying about your business, monitor reviews, and provide a quick response. Responding to a negative review allows future customers to see both sides of the story and shows the reviewer you are trying to resolve the issue. Without claiming your business profile there is virtually no way to know when a review has been written, eliminating your opportunity to respond. And if a potential customer sees a negative review with no explanation behind it, they may decide to look elsewhere for services – a vicious circle.

Ferocious Media utilizes our review monitoring dashboard to keep track of your online presence, allowing you greater control over how people perceive your business. Local search plays a major role in the success of a small or medium sized business. A strong foundation combined with monitoring your online presence can lead to new exposure and revenue.
