Most customers now look a business up before they walk in or call. A complete, consistent listing is the cheapest way to be found. Use this checklist.
1. Get the basics exactly right
Use the same business name, address and phone number everywhere: your website, your social pages and every directory. Small differences confuse both customers and search engines.
2. Choose a precise category
"Restaurant" is good. "Seafood restaurant" is better. A precise category helps the right people find you.
3. Add opening hours and keep them current
Wrong hours are the fastest way to lose trust. Update them for holidays and special days.
4. Add real photos
Show your storefront, your products and your team. Customers use photos to decide whether to visit.
5. Ask for honest reviews
Ask happy customers to leave a rating, and reply politely to every review, good or bad.
6. Link your listing to your place
A listing that points to the right barangay, city and landmark is easier to reach. Explore the Destinations pages to see how places are organised.
7. Claim your listing
If your business is already in the Business Listings, open it and use the claim option so you can keep details accurate. If it is not listed yet, use Add business.
Because a listing is only as good as its details, set a reminder to review yours every quarter.
