NAP

Shorthand for a business’s Name, Address and Phone number: the core data in every local citation.

NAP stands for Name, Address, Phone. It is the minimum information a citation contains, and the data search engines match across directories to verify a business.

An extended version, NAP+W, adds the Website URL. Keeping NAP identical everywhere is the foundation of local SEO.
