# NZ Citations — Submission Sheet (C3)
|
||||
|
||||
Use the exact NAP block below for every directory. Consistency is the whole
|
||||
point — even small variations (brackets in phone, trailing punctuation,
|
||||
`Ltd.` vs `Limited`) split your local trust signals.
|
||||
|
||||
## Canonical NAP
|
||||
|
||||
| Field | Value |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| Business name | `Goodwalk` |
|
||||
| Phone (visible) | `022 642 1011` |
|
||||
| Phone (E.164 / forms that ask for international) | `+64 22 642 1011` |
|
||||
| Email | `info@goodwalk.co.nz` |
|
||||
| Website | `https://www.goodwalk.co.nz` |
|
||||

|
||||
| Address | Service-area business — do **not** publish a home address. If a directory mandates an address, use a postcode-only entry where possible (e.g. Auckland 1021). |
|
||||
| Hours | Mon–Fri 8:00am–4:00pm |
|
||||
| Category (primary) | Dog Walker |
|
||||
| Category (secondary, where allowed) | Pet Sitter / Pet Care Service |
|
||||
| Short description (160 chars) | Goodwalk runs Tiny Gang pack walks, 1:1 walks, and puppy visits across Auckland Central. Small-dog specialists, free pickup and drop-off. |
|
||||

|
||||
## After each citation goes live
|
||||
|
||||
1. Save the public profile URL in a spreadsheet (you'll need the list to
|
||||
update `sameAs` in the LocalBusiness JSON-LD on the homepage —
|
||||
`src/routes/+page.svelte`).
|
||||
2. Re-run `/seo local https://goodwalk.co.nz` after ~2 weeks to confirm
|
||||
crawler discovery.
|
||||
|
||||
## Anti-patterns to avoid
|
||||
|
||||
- Do **not** vary the business name ("Goodwalk Auckland", "Goodwalk Ltd",
|
||||
"Goodwalk Dog Walking") across listings. Pick `Goodwalk` and stick with it.
|
||||
- Do **not** publish a home street address anywhere. SAB = service-area only.
|
||||
- Do **not** use a tracking phone number — Google penalises NAP mismatches.
|
||||
- Do **not** auto-syndicate via paid "submit to 50 directories" services —
|
||||
they typically use slightly different NAP per source and create the exact
|
||||
inconsistency you're trying to avoid.
