NAP Consistency

What is NAP consistency?

NAP consistency refers to the uniform spelling of a company’s name, address, and phone number across all online directories, industry platforms, and websites. Google uses this consistency as a trust signal for local SEO. Discrepancies in house numbers, abbreviations, or spellings measurably weaken local visibility. At Waterproof Web Wizard, we create a master data sheet for each client, website legal notices, Google Business Profile, business directories, TripAdvisor, Apple Maps, and Bing Places are all synchronized with this master set. Consistency checks are part of our ongoing maintenance.
