What Aaptly handles for you

The work Aaptly handles to create more qualified local demand.

Directory checks and guided fixes

Aaptly checks Apple, Bing, Foursquare, and Yelp, writes to supported connected directories, and gives you the exact correction path when a directory requires the owner.

One source of truth

Change your canonical hours or phone once. Aaptly can write connected Bing updates, suggest Foursquare changes where enabled, and show the owner action required for Apple and Yelp.

Inconsistency detection

Aaptly scans for mismatched, duplicate, and missing listings — the quiet NAP conflicts that cap your rank — and surfaces exactly what's wrong and where.

Aligned with your Google profile

Citations stay consistent with your Google Business Profile categories, services, and hours, so every surface Google cross-checks tells the same story.

Duplicate cleanup

Aaptly flags duplicate listings that split your reviews and confuse Google, and guides the merge or removal so one clean listing carries all the signal.

Listing health in the work queue

Missing and inconsistent listings become prioritized work, clearly separated into supported connected fixes and owner-managed directory steps.

How it works

Find the demand gap, improve the signal, create the next customer opportunity.

01

Scan your listings

Aaptly finds where your business is listed today and grades name, address, phone, and hours consistency across the major directories and aggregators.

02

Fix what each directory allows

Aaptly writes supported connected updates, flags duplicates, and gives the owner the exact correction path on directories that do not allow Aaptly to publish.

03

Keep checking

Aaptly monitors the supported directories after your facts change and brings any remaining mismatch back into the work queue.

Role in the growth loop

Consistent business facts strengthen discovery and trust so more nearby customers reach the right business instead of a broken listing.

FAQ

Common questions.

What are citations and why do they matter?

A citation is any online mention of your business's name, address, and phone — on directories like Apple, Bing, and Yelp and the data aggregators that feed Google. Consistent citations are a trust and relevance signal; inconsistent ones quietly cap how high you rank in the map pack.

Which directories does Aaptly cover?

Aaptly checks Apple, Bing, Foursquare, and Yelp. Bing supports connected writes; Foursquare supports suggestions where enabled; Apple requires an owner-managed step; Yelp is read-only.

Do citations really affect Google rankings?

They affect the controllable inputs Google uses for prominence and trust. NAP consistency won't outrank a great profile on its own, but inconsistent or duplicate listings will hold a good profile back — so it's foundational work, not optional.
