Overall Score
​
The Overall Score indicates how well your digital marketing is performing within your industry. There’s no pass or fail here - a business should strive to be as close to 100% as possible. Each grade is calculated using a percentile grading system, comparing you to other businesses within your industry.
Listings
Put your business on the map with an abundance of accurate listings. Your business needs accurate listings on many directories to ensure that customers can find you online.
Listing Presence
​
Improve your search rank with a strong listing presence. Without online listings, you may lose customers to competitors.
Listing Accuracy
Accurate listings ensure that customers can find and contact your business. Incorrect listings lead to unhappy and frustrated customers. Your business must be listed correctly! Listing Distribution corrects and maintains listings across major sources. Reputation Management reveals where information is listed incorrectly.
​
If your grades are high, it’s important to keep it that way! Listing Distribution can ensure that your listings remain present online.
​
If your grades are low, it’s Listing Distribution and Reputation Management to the rescue!
Data Provider Accuracy
​
Manage and distribute accurate listings all over the web with major listing providers. There are four major listing providers in the United States: Factual, Acxiom, Infogroup, and Neustar (Localeze). These data providers are referenced by over 300 online listing directories and disseminate business information all over the web.
​
Green - Accurate: Business listings are healthy!
Yellow - Contains Errors: There is trouble here!
Red - Not Found: Looks bad, but it’s not as bad as you think!
Reviews
Boost your online reviews to establish trust and credibility. Reviews are structured mentions that are classified or ranked in some way, often with a star-rating or numerical scale. Local businesses must continually collect fresh reviews and strive for 5-star ratings.
If your grade is high, great job! You are working hard on earning your solid reputation. A great way to amplify this is with our Social Marketing product.
If your grade is low, we can help! Reputation Management will reveal where the negative sentiment is coming from. Add Customer Voice to the package to provide the perfect avenue for collecting more reviews. Positive reviews can easily be displayed on your website, whereas negative reviews can be dealt with privately.
Social
Grow your fan base and turn online leads into raving customers through social channels. Every day, millions of consumers declare their buying intentions on social media. You must keep your followers engaged to grow your audience and build brand loyalty.
If the grade is high, you're off to a great start! However, managing multiple social networks is difficult and time-consuming. Our Social Marketing product is an easy way for you to continue to build your social presence and find new leads.
If the grade is low, we need to advance your online capabilities. With our Social Marketing, you can manage customer activity in a single feed, respond to customers straight from the feed, and track every interaction.
A social page may not appear in the report for several reasons. It could mean that you do not have a page on that channel for your business, you are using a personal page instead of a business page, or your page has viewing restrictions. Remember, if our system has a hard time finding your social page, your customers will too.
Website
Your website loading speed is critical. The Snapshot Report leverages Google PageSpeed Insights to assess whether your website speed meets Google’s expectations on mobile and desktop. The report then displays recommendations for issues to fix.
​
Should Fix: Rules that failed PageSpeed Insight’s tests. You should fix these immediately.
Consider Fixing: Rules that passed PageSpeed Insight’s tests, but could use improvement. You might consider fixing these issues, but they’re not necessarily critical.
