3. Pay attention to NAP accuracy

Positive customer reviews show searchers that real people like your products. This can encourage searchers to choose to visit your store over your competitors.

Prioritize acquiring reviews and increasing your average rating to get the most out of your business listing on Bing Places for Business.

Be creative with how you ask your customers for feedback, for example

Leave QR codes printed on restaurant tables that lead to review sites
Send emails to customers, asking them for a quick review in exchange for a reward
Since Bing Places for Business collects reviews from third-party websites like TripAdvisor and Facebook, you can encourage customers to leave a review wherever it's easiest for them.

Pro Tip: Easily manage your reviews across multiple platforms with List Management .

NAP stands for Name, Address, and Phone Number.

Make sure you enter the exact same NAP data into all online directories (e.g. Yelp, Google Business Profile , etc.) because search engines like Bing pull information about your business from outside sources, whether it's accurate or not.

NAP consistency also makes it easier for search engines to find accurate information about your business.

If you use a different phone number in multiple online listings and on your website, search engines won't know which one to call.

You can keep your listings consistent by manually checking each online directory one by one. The problem is that you may not be aware of all of your listings, because many directories auto-generate listings based on information they find on the Internet.

For more effective management of your listings, see Listing Management .

The tool will automatically comb local online directories and update your listing based on your current information.
