Business name, address or phone is inconsistent
Why it matters
Conflicting NAP data undermines the confidence that drives map pack ranking.
What to do about it
Standardise one exact format and correct every listing to match.
This one is reported rather than applied. It needs a judgement a person has to make, and applying it automatically would be a change to your site that nobody decided on.
How it is weighted
These are the values the scoring actually uses, not a description of them. Priority is derived from all three rather than chosen, which is why a high-impact, low-effort finding surfaces above a severe one that would take a quarter to fix.
- Severity
- high
- Impact
- 60% of the weight this category can carry
- Effort
- 40%, where 100% is a project rather than a change
- Confidence
- 80% that a hit is a real problem rather than a pattern we misread
- Area
- Local and maps
