Normalize and compare local citation data, then build a clear listing-by-listing correction queue.

NAP Consistency Checker

Find Inconsistent Local Business Listings

WebTrendSEO’s NAP Consistency Checker compares your correct business details with citation listings supplied as CSV, TXT, or pasted rows.

The tool normalizes common formatting differences in names, addresses, phone numbers, and website URLs. This helps separate harmless variations—such as punctuation or “Street” versus “St.”—from details that may need correction.

Review each flagged field against the source listing before editing it. The checker does not search the web for citations or update third-party profiles automatically.

WHY USE OUR NAP CONSISTENCY CHECKER?

Create a Reliable Citation Correction Queue

Inconsistent business details can confuse customers and make local listing maintenance harder. This checker gives you a repeatable way to compare each citation with one verified reference record.

Normalized matching reduces false alarms caused by punctuation, spacing, common address abbreviations, phone formatting, or URL variants. Review true mismatches first, then update listings at their original sources.

Any Question?
A NAP Consistency Checker compares your verified business name, address, phone number, and website with citation records to identify listings that may contain inconsistent details.
NAP stands for name, address, and phone number. This tool also compares the preferred website URL because that detail commonly appears in business citations and profiles.
You can upload citation data in CSV or TXT format, ideally with Source, Name, Address, Phone, and Website columns. You can also paste one listing per line using the format shown in the tool.
The checker can ignore punctuation, spacing, phone formatting, common address abbreviations, and equivalent website variations when appropriate. This reduces false positives, but you should still verify every flagged record at its source.
No. It compares only the citation records you upload or paste. It does not discover directory profiles, crawl third-party platforms, or confirm that a listing is currently live.
No. The checker creates a listing-level comparison and correction queue, but it does not log in to directories or change any business profile. Review and update each source separately.
