The short list
In practice, a workable routine is to check every month and log every change with a date.
Second pass
Beyond that claim what exists before creating anything new — duplicates are harder to remove than to avoid.

How to Keep The Core Contact Record Well-structured
- The business directories check
- In the simplest terms, business directories tell data aggregators that a business is real and reachable.
- Aggregator feeds, briefly
- Structured listings form the connective tissue between a website and the wider local web.
- Toward clearer brand recognition

- The brand mentions check
- The record itself is unglamorous, which is exactly why it is therefore frequently left alone.
