Listing Sync Pro – setup and requirements

Before you start

  • Ensure accurate name, address, phone, website, and categories in Business Profile.
  • Prepare a unique local phone number for the business.
  • Use a physical street address (PO Boxes are not supported).

Authentication

  • Listings managed by Listing Sync Pro generally do not require you to authenticate accounts on supported directories.
  • Google, Facebook, Instagram, and X, authentication is required within those platforms to sync data.

Claiming profiles

  • Google Business Profile must be claimed directly through Google. This product does not claim Google profiles on your behalf.
  • Prioritize claiming major sources such as Google, Bing, Apple, and Yelp.

Address and PO boxes

  • Using a PO Box as the business address prevents syncing. Enter a street address instead. If you prefer to hide the address publicly, select the service‑area business option where supported.

Service Area Business setting

Shared phone numbers or addresses

  • A unique local phone number is critical. Directory networks and aggregators use this for matching. Reuse of a phone number across businesses can prevent syndication.
  • Address data is validated against authoritative postal sources to avoid duplication.

Where to view listings information

  • To view listings information, open Local SEO > Listing Synctab inside the product.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Can I use a PO Box as my business address?

No. PO Boxes are not supported for Listing Sync Pro because most directories require a physical street address to verify the business location.

Do I need to authenticate my accounts for Listing Sync Pro?

Generally, no. Listings managed by the Listing Sync Pro network do not require authentication. However, if you are syncing directly to Google, Facebook, Instagram, or X (outside the managed network), authentication is required.

Does Listing Sync Pro claim my Google Business Profile for me?

No. You must claim your Google Business Profile directly through Google. Listing Sync Pro helps manage and sync data to the profile once it is claimed and connected.

Why do I need a unique local phone number?

Directories and aggregators use your phone number as a key identifier to match your business data. Using a cleaner, unique local number helps prevent syncing issues and ensures your listings are correctly attributed to your business.
