A common mistake many business owners make is assuming they show-up on the front page because that’s what it shows on their computer or mobile device.

However, the search result might be very different for the general public.
Search Engines like Google and Bing, need to validate the data associated with your business on many different local directory Sites, in order to trust the data and showcase it to their users. 30 Listings seems to be almost a minimum requirement to be competitive, while 50 seems to be the ideal number based on our experience. More listings will not hurt although it may be a bit of an overkill. If your listings are created, the next best impactful place to focus on are your reviews.
