Before you start

  • You can open Listings.
  • You know the client and business location you want to check.
  • You have access to the verified business facts and the connected or public listing you are comparing.

Steps

  1. Choose the right scope

    Open Listings and select the client and business location you want to check.

  2. Check the current state

    Review the verified business facts and the connected or public listing you are comparing. Keep the current value or status visible before you make a change.

  3. Add UTM tracking rules

    Set one rule per location and LocalCMO tags every published link, filling in the publisher as the source automatically.

  4. Review before you finish

    Compare the proposed value with the current publisher value before you save or publish.

  5. Confirm the saved or submitted result

    The listing task shows the right location, source, value, and current publishing status.

EXPECTED RESULT

What you should see when you finish

  • The listing task shows the right location, source, value, and current publishing status.
  • The page shows the client or location you intended to change or review.
  • Any approval, publishing, or follow-up status is recorded separately from the draft.

If something does not look right

The option or data is missing

Check the selected scope, date range, account connection, and your permissions. Directory coverage, editing controls, verification, and publishing time depend on the publisher and account connection.

The result does not match the source

Return to Listings, confirm the source and checked date, then repeat the task with the same scope. Do not replace a missing value with zero or assume a submitted change is already live.
