🎯 Introduction

This article covers two scenarios:

1️⃣ Removing listings from Reputation Manager that do not belong to the current business
2️⃣ Removing incorrect listings from the internet

It is important to handle both correctly to maintain accurate reporting and strong listing health.

1️⃣ Removing Incorrect Listings from Reputation Manager

🔎 Why Incorrect Listings Appear

During the Discovery Process, some listings may be found that are similar to your business but do not actually belong to you.

This can happen when:

A business with a similar name is located nearby
A listing was mistakenly added
Online information overlaps or is inconsistent

These listings are not related to your business but may have been incorrectly associated with your account.

⚠️ Why You Should Remove Incorrect Listings

You should remove incorrect listings because:

Reputation Manager may believe you are already listed on that service
- Example: If an incorrect Yelp listing is being monitored, the system will assume you are listed on Yelp and will not suggest creating a correct listing.
Your issue count may increase
- Incorrect listings typically show many missing or incorrect fields
- Removing them reduces your issue total
