Why should you care?
Consistency in information available on your site, in citations, directory listing and around the web pertaining to your business is more important than ever. Without accurate and consistent information your business will struggle to rank in local search results. Also, as the mobile first approach from Google is bedded in, Local search and location information will become more and more important.
This could also have implications for cooperative business models such as law chambers where different lawyers with separate websites and contact details do use the same building. Also, situations where multiple similar businesses reside in the same building/tower.

It is therefore even more important to ensure your Local Search SEO is better then the others!
