FAQs
What is the difference between a listing check and citation management?
A check identifies inaccurate, incomplete, missing, or potentially duplicate records. Citation management addresses an agreed set of corrections and their follow-up. Distinguish the review findings from any platform access, verification, or correction work that needs separate approval.
What should be recorded for each listing issue?
Save the listing URL, the incorrect detail, the approved replacement, and whether the business controls the profile. Note the review date and correction status. This creates a usable action list rather than a count of errors without a way to resolve them.
How long does Business Listing Checks take?
Stage 4 confirms the work schedule after reviewing access, priorities, approvals, and technical complexity. Billable work time is different from the time needed to see marketing results. An hourly minimum is not a completion estimate or a promise of rankings or leads.
Is Business Listing Checks included in a monthly package?
Some parts of this service may be included in Starter Visibility, Local Growth, or Market Leader depending on the package scope. Stage 4 can confirm what is included before work begins.
Can I hire Stage 4 for Business Listing Checks as a standalone service?
Yes. Individual services contracted outside of a monthly package are billed at the ancillary service rate of $165/hour, with most requests requiring a minimum of 1.5-2.5 hours depending on scope and complexity.
