What is inconsistent NAP data?
Inconsistent NAP data means differences in name, address and phone between the Google listing, the website and directories. It weakens local rankings.
Why it matters
Google compares business data across many sources. Mismatched name, address or phone lowers profile credibility and can push the listing down in maps.
How to use it
- Define one exact format for name, address and phone.
- Fix the data on your website and in the footer.
- Review industry directories and old entries.
- After moving, update everything in one day.
