Your Business Info — Copy & Paste Ready
Use these exact values on every directory. Consistent NAP (Name, Address, Phone) across listings is a major local SEO ranking factor.
NAP Consistency Is Everything
NAP stands for Name, Address, Phone. Google cross-references your business info across every directory on the internet. If your phone number is listed as '602-499-2975' on one site and '(602) 499-2975' on another, it creates a citation conflict that hurts your local rankings. Use the exact same format — copied from the Business Info section above — on every single listing.
