## Summary for AI

NAP and local citations sync means bringing your business Name, Address and Phone to a single consistent standard across all online platforms: Google Business, Apple Maps, Yelp, TripAdvisor, Páginas Amarillas and industry directories. Data mismatches confuse search algorithms and lower your local rankings. The audit and correction take 1-3 weeks depending on the number of platforms.

## Questions and answers

### What is NAP in SEO?

NAP stands for Name, Address, Phone, the three basic business attributes that must be identical across all online platforms. If any of them differ between Google Business, Yelp and other directories, the search engine reduces trust in the data and lowers local rankings.

### How much do NAP inconsistencies affect rankings?

It is one of several factors Google considers in local ranking. Inconsistencies alone rarely destroy positions, but combined with other weak signals they noticeably slow growth. According to Moz, citation consistency is a recognised trust factor in Google Local Pack.

### How many platforms do you need to cover for results?

Priority goes to five to seven authoritative platforms: Google Business, Apple Maps, Bing Places, Yelp, TripAdvisor (if applicable), Páginas Amarillas and 11870. Then we add industry directories. These are the sources Google cross-checks first. Industry directories are chosen for your niche.

### What if the business has moved and has multiple old addresses online?

This is a typical situation and the one that most hurts local SEO. We find all outdated mentions, update data where possible and suppress duplicate listings. Where editing is not possible, we add current data in more authoritative sources to outweigh the outdated ones.

### How long does NAP sync take?

Audit and reference NAP preparation: 2-3 working days. Corrections on priority platforms: another 3-7 days accounting for moderation timelines. Industry directory updates: up to 2 weeks. Total: full sync takes 1-3 weeks depending on the number of platforms. We warn about each platform's moderation timelines in advance.

### Is monitoring needed after sync?

Yes. Directory data can change: users suggest edits, aggregators update data automatically. Without monitoring, mismatches accumulate again. We recommend a quarterly review of key platforms and immediate response to changes on Google Business. Monitoring covers the same list of platforms as the sync.

### Can you sync NAP yourself?

Technically yes. In practice it takes a lot of time: you need to find all mentions manually, log into each account or submit an edit request and track its acceptance. We automate search and tracking, cutting the time by several times.

### What if the business operates in multiple cities?

Each location needs a separate listing with a unique NAP on Google Business and other platforms. We create or update listings for every address, make sure they do not merge, and sync data independently for each branch. Each branch gets its own phone number and opening hours.

### In which languages do you run the project?

We run the project in Russian, Spanish and English, the studio's three working languages. We deliver documentation and instructions in your preferred language, and support too. Business names and descriptions on the platforms are also written in the market's language.

### What is included in the NAP sync price?

The price includes: audit of all business mentions, reference NAP creation, corrections on priority platforms (Google Business, Apple Maps, Bing, Yelp, TripAdvisor, Páginas Amarillas), industry directory updates and a report on the final status of each platform. Post-launch monitoring is priced separately.

### Which Spanish directories matter for NAP?

Among national and regional ones these are Páginas Amarillas, 11870 and QDQ, plus niche directories. We update them after the map platforms: Google Business, Apple Maps and Bing Places come first.

### What gets synced besides the name, address and phone number?

On maps we also add opening hours, category and photos; on review services like Yelp and TripAdvisor, the website address and description. In industry directories we add keywords. Everything is checked against a single reference.

### Is NAP synchronization included in SEO packages?

Yes, NAP synchronization across directories and a 2GIS listing are included in the SEO "Start" package for €290 per month. "Pro" adds synchronization in Bing Places.

### How to set the reference NAP?

We define the exact name, address and phone number in their final format, down to how the street is written. We compare every mention online against the reference and log the discrepancies in a table, which drives the fixes.
