Should I use BOTH UBL and Localeze?

[DougHoltOnline]

Would it be worthwhile to list a business with both UBL and Localeze?

Hi Doug,

I would typically think of this as an either/or situation, rather than recommending both. I've seen quite a few people asking your same question: do they need to be on UBL and Localeze, and what about Yext while we're at it? My personal preference would probably be for Localeze, but I definitely think you should check out the discussion about this topic on Phil Rozek's recent post on Localeze downgrading their previously free listings:

Read the whole conversation going on in the comments. I think it's a great discussion!

Thank you Miriam. I have a client that has had problems with NAP in the past and I'm in the process of setting them up with Localeze. I know there's a lot of cross-over between the data aggregation  but was wondering if multiple data points was good. The additional $39 for UBL isn't  a large investment if it's helpful. I've seen a lot of discussion about which one is best, but not much about using multiple services together. I'll check the article.

I appreciate you taking the time to reply!

Hi Doug,

I think Localeze will help you remedy some of the NAP consistency issues your client has, but I would recommend that this be backed up with a manual check on your part to discover bad data. In my opinion, no service beats manual action as a way to remedy bad NAP data. It can be quite a big process. Hang in there and good luck!
