Listing Management for Daycare 

Your competitors might only focus on SEO content, but we at ChildCareClicks know a secret weapon that local daycare businesses can use to climb to the top – business directory listings. While it might seem that business directories have lost their relevance, there’s one key player who values them highly – Google. Google, alongside other search engines, uses your Name, Address, and Phone Number (NAP) to locate you for local searches.

The more frequently your NAP is visible online, the more “citations” you amass, which reinforces your credibility. Business listings offer a simple way to increase citations, but ensuring your NAP is accurate and securing these listings requires a bit of elbow grease. That’s where we step in. At ChildCareClicks, we ensure that search engines consistently find the right information about your center across all directory listings. This leads to more citations, greater online visibility than your competitors, and a higher chance of your center appearing at the top of local listings.

Everything starts with optimizing your Google Business Profile. This profile is the bedrock of all your online directory listings. It is the main “aggregator” that other directories depend on for accurate NAPs for their listings. We “claim” your Google Business Profile and ensure all the details are complete and correct. By enhancing your profile, we provide all the data search engines and directories need so your prospects can find you with ease.

The real challenge begins when you need to claim your listings on business directories. While optimizing your Google Business Profile gives you an edge, you still need to verify how each business directory displays your daycare center info. Many of these directories offer free listing services, so it’s crucial to make the most of this free exposure. However, they each have unique formats that need to be optimized, meaning your listing needs to be “claimed”.

At ChildCareClicks, we simplify this process by ensuring your NAP and services are consistent across all directories, making it easier for search engines to locate you. It’s a careful process because search engines recognize citations only when they’re identical to each other. Even a minor alteration, like a missing period after St., changes your NAP in the eyes of search engines. Your center name, address, and phone number must be identical on every single listing to make the most of your citations and boost your daycare SEO. We handle all of this for you.

At ChildCareClicks, we understand the importance of online listing management across all relevant daycare center directories and its impact on your ranking. Our process includes key steps to augment your online presence using business directories:

These steps ensure search engines capture all citations and that prospects see accurate and up-to-date information, no matter their preferred search methods.

Directories often change their sources or get absorbed by other directories, meaning they’re not always reliable. Despite your best efforts to keep your listing management up-to-date, some directories may have changed, resulting in incorrect or improperly formatted information.

While it might seem complex, the bottom line is, due to the ever-evolving nature of the online directory world, it’s crucial to keep your listings in sync with these changes. This is the “management” part of our listing management services, which includes:

With us, you can rest assured that incorrect information won’t spread because we ensure all data is accurate.
