What are directory listings?
Google checks other websites to make sure your business is real. Sites like Yelp, Houzz, Bing, Apple Maps, the Better Business Bureau and your local home builders association.
When your name, address and phone match on all of them, Google trusts you more and shows you higher on Maps. These listings are called citations.
Why it matters for builders
Most builders have old listings scattered around the internet with an old phone number, an old address or a misspelled name.
Google sees the mess and trusts you less. Buyers who find the wrong number never reach you.

Google sees it and gets less sure about you. Buyers who use it cannot reach you.
