How to keep NAP if my company has two locations?

[kirupa]

Hello,

I am a bit puzzled since the company I'm working with has recently opened a new location. The company's first location is listed in all local directories. Could you please advise me what to do to make  2 locations visible and not to mess up with keeping same NAP all over the web? Most directories do not simply have the option to add another location.

I had to open a brand new Google Business page for the second location (while using the same name brand). I suppose I am getting into trouble with this?

Hi Kirupa,

No, indeed, if your company has 2 physical locations that serve the public, then you are entitled to 2 unique Google My Business listings and 2 full, unique sets of citations. Just be sure that each location has its own phone number, you should have no problems at all. Think of big franchises and the 100s or 1000s of locations they have - and each one is entitled to have citations built for it. No worries at all!

Hi Miriam,

Thanks for your reply! I'm just looking at Moz and Yext reports and seeing that one of the locations is considered to be "wrong" information. That's what confuses me a lot.

Hi Kirupa,

I'm not sure I understand what you mean regarding 'wrong' information. If it's something you're seeing in your Moz Local dashboard, please definitely contact our Helpsters at help@moz.com.
