Where should you look for your phone number? Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Business Listing, Pinterest, Instagram, Yellow Pages and anywhere else you’ve created a business profile. Did you hire an SEO team to create backlinks for your business? Make sure you consult the list of backlinks they likely gave you too. If they did not present you with a list, now is the time to get your hands on that. I can’t tell you how many clients I end up working with that don’t have access to their own business listings. It can be frustrating and costly to get into those accounts or duplicate the work by setting up new ones.
