Follow this step-by-step to get started.
1
From the Manta home page, type your business name in the toolbar to see if it's listed already in Manta’s directory.
2
Do you see your company name and location in the drop-down menu that appears? If so, click on your business name, then click on the "Verify Now" button to begin the process of claiming your business listing. If your company isn't listed, type your complete business name and click "Verify Now" to add it.
3
The next page will prompt you to fill in your correct business name and address in the fields provided. Enter that information and click "Next."
4
On the next screen, you'll be prompted to add or confirm your phone number and website URL. Correct or add any information that is inaccurate or missing from this page. If you'd prefer not to have your business phone number publicly displayed in your listing, check the box beneath the phone number field to keep your phone number private.
5
On the next screen, you'll have the opportunity to select a category for your business to let customers know what industry you're in. This classification will help directory users find your company more easily in relation to the products and services they are searching for.
6
Finally, register on Manta to save your changes. You can register using your Facebook or Google accounts, or use your email to create a new account. If you're already a Manta member or subscriber, you can simply sign in to add your company to the directory.
7
Once you've registered or logged in, Manta will automatically check to see if your business is listed on other online directories, including major listing sites like Google My Business, Yelp and Bing.

Next, Manta will provide a free Online Visibility Report about your company. This report will show you every social media site, search engine and local business directory that lists your company. This free report will show you where you need to add your business listing and which sites have incorrect information for your company that needs to be corrected. This is an essential step. In order to maximize your business' visibility on Google and other search engines - and make sure that customers always find the right info for your business - your business info must be correct and consistent. Manta can help you update these listings automatically so you don't have to worry about all 70+ online directories yourself.

Click on the "Fix My Errors" button to automatically publish your correct business information across the entire internet. This step also protects your business' identity by "locking" your listings, preventing anyone else from claiming or altering your business listing info. Manta will guarantee that you have control of your company info everywhere it appears, so you no longer have to worry about unauthorized changes.
Remember, if you make updates to your company information - such as adding new products or services, or if you change your business hours or even have temporary holiday hours - you should update this info on all 70+ directories on the internet. Consistency is key! Manta makes it easy by syncing all of your listings to your Manta profile, so you only need to update your info once and let us take care of all the other sites.
Don't waste time tracking down every listing on the internet! Manta can update your listings automatically on 70+ online directories so you can get back to business.
