Minimum tracking fields
Track the platform, listing URL, status, login email, username, verification requirement, submitted date, last checked date, displayed NAP, and notes.
For agencies
Keep client credentials isolated, record which listings are owned by the client, and preserve a handoff-ready report. Do not rely on one employee’s personal inbox for verification emails.
Monitor changes intentionally
You do not need to obsessively recheck every small directory. Prioritize business-critical platforms, recent corrections, and listings that historically revert or duplicate.
