NAP consistency, especially within a site's structure, is one of the most fundamental parts of an SEO strategy. Despite the fact that his prior SEO firm had been on the job for a year, this had been completely neglected. We quickly identified the inconsistencies and missing tags, and put a plan into place to populate this information and structure the site's content in a way that is easy for Google to understand. The result is that his listing titles will be corrected and his site will enjoy greater confidence from Google, resulting in higher rankings overall.
