What’s the impact of NAP consistency on local SEO?

ROI answers

NAP consistency – ensuring your Name, Address, and Phone number are identical across the web – remains a critical ranking factor for local search in Australia. As of early 2026, Google’s algorithms heavily favour businesses with a unified and verifiable online presence, using these signals to confirm business legitimacy and location relevance.

  • Automated Citation Building: ROI.com.au now features automated submission to over 150 key Australian directories, including TrueLocal, Yellow Pages, and industry-specific platforms.
  • Real-Time NAP Monitoring: Our platform continuously scans the web for inconsistencies in your NAP data, alerting you to potential issues.
  • Google Business Profile Optimisation: We optimise your GBP listing, ensuring it’s fully complete and accurately reflects your core NAP information.
  • Schema Markup Implementation: Current systems include automated schema markup generation, providing search engines with structured data about your business.

In 2026, Australian consumers increasingly rely on voice search and map-based queries. Inconsistent NAP data can confuse these systems, leading to lower rankings and lost opportunities. Furthermore, maintaining accurate details is vital for compliance with Australian Consumer Law regarding business information transparency.
