Local Search Intent Across Devices

There are many factors that determine if your business will be listed above your competitors in local search results. One very important metric is your business citation. Your citation is the Name, Address and Phone number (NAP) of your business. Having correct and up-to-date NAP information is critical to making sure that Google authenticates your business as a real, verifiable business.
