LocalBasics

LocalBasics is a service that helps small businesses keep their basic public information correct and consistent online. Instead of offering marketing or advertising tools, it concentrates on the fundamentals: name, address, phone, opening hours, website, services and profile details, then watches that information so customers find the right details wherever they search.

The platform creates a single, authoritative record you enter once, then uses it to monitor and maintain listings across a network of more than 50 sites and services, including Google, Apple Maps, Bing, Facebook, Waze, Alexa, Siri, Yellow Pages and MapQuest. It notifies you when listings change or conflict so issues can be fixed before they cause missed calls, bad directions or other problems.

Key features include:

• Locking a core business record that acts as the official source of information
• Continuous monitoring for discrepancies and change alerts
• Distribution of updates to connected listings to reduce manual edits
• Listing audits, review monitoring, monthly health reports and a listing health score

The service keeps a protected business identity record for the lifetime of the business and pays particular attention to how details appear to voice assistants and AI systems. More information is available at https://www.localbasics.com/.
