**Q: How do I fix my business name, address, and phone so they match across the web?**
⚠️ Before you start: write down the ONE correct version of the business name, address, and phone number. This is your “master” — everything must match it. (This work is on other websites, so no backup is needed.)
What this fixes: Your name, address, or phone differ across listings, which confuses search engines and customers.
Steps:
1. Search the business name on Google and list everywhere it appears — Google, Yelp, BBB, Facebook, industry directories.
2. Open each listing, claim or sign in, and fix the name, address, and phone to match your master exactly — same spelling, same format.
3. If two listings exist for the same business, use that site’s “merge” or “report a duplicate” option to remove the extra.
4. Save each one.
5. Re-search the business and confirm every listing shows the same information.
Tools you may need (free):
– Google (https://www.google.com) — search your name to find every listing.
– Your Yelp, BBB, and industry-directory logins — to edit each profile.
Common mistakes to avoid:
– Small format differences (“Ste 200” vs “Suite 200”) — pick one and use it everywhere.
– Fixing the website but forgetting the directories, which is where the conflict usually lives.
When to call SEO Doctor:
– You find listings you can’t claim or edit.
– The same business shows two different addresses and you’re not sure which is right.
