So in the previous post we showed how information is shared across the web between websites. This process is so automated that a single incorrect piece of information - your address, phone number, URL - can be published across hundreds of websites in the blink of an eye.
We looked at the Big Four Data Providers for a YMCA and saw that some of the information was in error.
Can this really disrupt the information posted on other websites?
Yes. Absolutely.
Each business belongs to a "business category". Within these categories, the YMCA is followed by a specific group of websites subscribing to the information based on this business. Search Engines, Review Sites, GPS Systems and Directories. These websites then publish your business information for visitors to see.

Here are some examples of the results from some of the other websites:
So how do you fix this problem? The first step is to see if your YMCA has a problem. Click on the "Run My Free YMCA Data Report" below and request your free copy of the report.
