Business listings are essential to succeed in today's online marketplace with 73% of people losing trust in a brand when their listings are incorrect. This causes customers to blame the business when their information is wrong, damaging their reputation.

That's why it's important for businesses to understand how they currently rate when it comes to their business listings, and the Nurch Free Scan is great at surfacing these insights.

How is the listings grade calculated?

We calculate your Listing Score and then compare it to other businesses in your business category.

Example: The business above has received a Listing Score of 635. The business is classified as a restaurant, thus comparing it to similarly classified businesses. Nurch considers anything within the top 20% of businesses to be an A, this section is graded as such.

You can view both the industry average and the 95th percentile's score in Reputation Management that is created alongside your Free Scan.
