## Prompt

```text
Help me audit my business listings across online directories and review sites.

**Business name, plus any previous names or common misspellings:** [DETAILS]
**Address and phone (current, and any previous):** [DETAILS]
**Website URL:** [URL]
**Business type and location:** [e.g. "independent hotel in Lisbon", "dental clinic in Austin"]
**Directories I already know about:** [list, or paste my spreadsheet of directories to check]

Give me:
1. **Priority directory list** for my business type and country: the core platforms (maps and search profiles, major review sites), industry-specific directories (e.g. travel sites for hotels, health directories for clinics), and local or data-aggregator sources. Mark any you're unsure about [CONFIRM].
2. **Search method** for each one, including searching by old names, old phone numbers, and old addresses to catch outdated or duplicate listings.
3. **Tracker columns:** Directory | Listing URL | Found? | Name as listed | Address as listed | Phone as listed | Website as listed | Category | Description | Photos/hours OK? | Claimed? | Issues | Action | Owner | Done date.
4. **What counts as a mismatch:** name variations, suite numbers, old phone numbers, wrong categories, missing website links, outdated hours, duplicates.
5. **Fix priority:** duplicates and wrong contact details first, then unclaimed high-traffic profiles, then descriptions and photos.
6. **A standard listing kit** to reuse everywhere: exact name, address format, phone, short and long description, categories, and hours.

Do not claim you have checked live listings unless I paste what you're reviewing.
