Other than that, you need to tell me which one(s) you&#8217;re interested in doing. Keep in mind that &#8220;updating a listing&#8221; doesn&#8217;t cost anything (except a little bit of my time), and can\/should be done regardless of whether you want to look at associated paid advertising. If you&#8217;re interested in any of the &#8220;paid&#8221; options, I will dig up info on pricing and let you know what it is.<\/p>\n<p>Some (if not all) of the listings I need to update will require &#8220;owner verification&#8221; that I have authority to do so. The way it works with Google Places (for instance) is that they (Google) will call the phone number listed as the business&#8217; main phone number. You\u2019ll need to have constant accessibility to that phone number so that you can receive any authorization phone calls. Also for Google (and maybe others) they will give you an &#8220;authorization code&#8221; by phone which you&#8217;ll have to give to me so I can actually make the listing changes &#8220;stick&#8221;. So please get that info to me as soon as possible when you get one of these.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Specific things that can\/should be done to increase website traffic.
