SOLUTION · DIGITAL MAP SERVICES
Are your locations accurate and current on the maps?
The solutions page asks “Do my locations show correctly on maps?” against this page. The question has two halves, and so does this page.
Today, the first point of contact with consumers is often a digital map. Next Geo makes sure your stores and branches appear accurately, completely and manageably on leading map applications such as Google Maps and Yandex Maps.
- 7SERVICE TITLES
- 3MAP PLATFORMS
- 2SAMPLE OUTPUTS
All three numbers are countable from this page: the seven service titles above, the three map platforms named on it (Google Maps, Yandex Maps, PlugShare) and the two sample output panels.
SERVICE REGISTER
Seven service titles, two jobs.
Two of them open the listing, four keep it alive, and one applies only to charging stations.
Accurate: opening the listing
Is the location on the map at all, at the right coordinate; are its name, category, address and contact details right; is the profile verified.
- ONE-TIME GOOGLE MAPS · YANDEX MAPS
Onboarding
First we gather your current store, branch or charging-station list, establish precise coordinates, and enter the information to meet each platform’s own requirements. Your digital visibility on Google and Yandex is set up with the correct title, category, description, contact details and location data. Onboarding is a one-time service.
- ON OPENING DAY RELEVANT PLATFORMS
New Point Opening
New stores that open along the way are added to the platforms quickly and completely. You start appearing on the digital maps on the same day you open.
Current: keeping the listing alive
Hours changed, a branch moved, a location closed, a profile was suspended — how long the listing takes to catch up.
- REGULAR RELEVANT PLATFORMS
Information Update
Changes to contact details, opening hours, descriptions and images are updated regularly on the relevant platforms, so everything a user sees stays current.
- FOLLOW-UP GOOGLE MAPS · YANDEX MAPS
Verification Problems and Suspension
Locations whose profiles are suspended or that hit a verification error under Google and Yandex policy are followed up professionally. Missing data is completed and the profile is reactivated.
- ON CLOSURE RELEVANT PLATFORMS
Removal of Closed Points
Branches that have ceased operations are removed from the relevant platforms, so users are not given incorrect information. Your digital presence stays current and accurate.
- PERIODIC GOOGLE MAPS · YANDEX MAPS
Negative Comment Management
Negative comments left by users on Google and Yandex are monitored periodically, and formal removal applications are filed within the framework of each platform’s policies.
Conditional: charging stations only
The seventh title is not universal: it applies to charging stations alone, and it runs on a platform of its own.
Accurate and Current is a reading order, not a separate package: all seven titles work on the same location list. Onboarding is done once; information updates run regularly and comment monitoring runs periodically.
SAMPLE OUTPUT
How accurate is one location, how current is the estate?
The first panel shows a single location’s map listing field by field; the second shows every location in a chain at the end of a period. Both are output of the seven service titles above.
LISTING FIELDS
- Name and category
- Correct
- Location (coordinate)
- Verified
- Address and contact
- Complete
- Opening hours
- Current
- Images
- 6
PLATFORM STATUS
- Google Maps
- Live
- Yandex Maps
- Awaiting verification
The row awaiting verification is what the “Verification Problems and Suspension” title above deals with: missing data is completed and the profile is resubmitted.
STATUS AT END OF PERIOD
- Live and verified
- 38
- Awaiting verification
- 2
- Suspended, being followed up
- 1
- Closed, removed from listings
- 1
WORK DONE IN THIS PERIOD
- New locations added
- 2
- Locations with information updated
- 14
- Comment removal applications filed
- 3
The first four rows add up to the chain’s location count. A removal application is a request, not a result: the platform decides, Next Geo files and follows up.
Sample output. The figures are illustrative. Real reports are produced from your own location list; the field names are the listing fields of Google Maps, Yandex Maps and PlugShare themselves, and the status names are those platforms’ own profile states.
HOW WE START
From your location list to a live listing.
Three steps. The first two are onboarding and happen once; the third is maintenance and runs for as long as you want it to.
-
01
A list comes in, coordinates come out
We take your current list of stores, branches or charging stations and establish a coordinate for every location. While a location sits at the wrong coordinate, every other field in its listing is in the wrong place too.
- Location list
- Coordinate
- Category
- Contact
-
02
Listings are opened and verified
The information is entered to meet each platform’s own requirements: correct title, category, description, contact details and location. Profile verification is followed through to the end. Onboarding is a one-time service.
- Google Maps
- Yandex Maps
- PlugShare
- Verification
-
03
The listing is kept alive
Changed details are updated regularly, suspended profiles are followed up, closed locations are removed and negative comments are monitored periodically. At the end of a period the work done is listed the way the Period Summary panel in Sample Output lists it.
- Information update
- Suspension follow-up
- Closure
- Removal application
If your location list is still a set of address lines, step one starts there instead: matching, de-duplicating and verifying addresses are titles of Next Geo’s Data Services solution, and turning them into coordinates is the job of the Address Solutions product.
