Building a Repeatable Routine

Is Volume Ever Worth Chasing?
The practical upshot is that a profile can look perfect on the surface and still carry orphaned listings underneath. The term covers everything from structured listings to a passing mention in a regional guide.
Where Should the Clean-Up Start?
Claim what exists before creating anything new -- duplicates are harder to remove than to avoid. Map pack entries sit quietly behind the scenes, yet search engines read them constantly.

Remove What You Can't Check

FieldWhat to check
Carefully maintained directory profilesPrefer removing a wrong listing to leaving it half-corrected.
Field notesBeyond that don't submit to a new directory until the existing ones agree.
Field notesPhotograph or screenshot each profile before editing -- reversions do happen.
Company profilesCorrect the list of services before touching anything decorative.
Aggregator feedsWhat follows from this is that if a listing can't be claimed, document it and move on rather than duplicating it.
