Any online record of your company, which may include your company name, address, phone number, website link, etc., is a business listing. You might have a business listing on Google, Facebook, Yelp, Trip Advisor, the national Chamber of Commerce site, Yellow Pages Online, or many other websites. Those publicly visible records of your company are all Business Listings.
You need them for multiple reasons to include the following:
1. They impact your website rank, how high and for what keywords/topics.
2. As of late, people are find your business and contact you based on their listings (depending on industry). They'll often not visit your business website at all.
3. Business listings often include lists of products and services, photos, video or other content that informs customers and gives you a way to outperform competitors.
4. Online business listings often include or encourage customer reviews, which are in themselves very beneficial. Reviews help establish business credibility a legitimacy (can influence website and Google business rank) and act as free marketing.
