Synoveo

If you don’t tell Google who you are, Google decides for you. Using outdated info, Booking.com listings, or Airbnb pages instead of YOUR website.
Synoveo makes your WordPress site the source of truth. You write your info once. Google Maps shows it.
<h4>The Problem</h4>
Google needs information about your business. If you don’t provide it clearly, Google fills in the gaps:
<ul>
<li>Wrong hours from an old directory</li>
<li>A description Google wrote for you</li>
<li>Links to Booking.com or Airbnb instead of your website</li>
<li>Phone numbers that don’t work</li>
</ul>
Your customers get confused. They book somewhere else. They show up when you’re closed. They blame you.
<h4>The Solution</h4>
Synoveo connects your WordPress site to Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business).
You write your business information once on your own website. Synoveo sends it to Google. Google Maps shows what YOU said.
No more guessing. No more outdated info. No more sending customers to Booking.com or Expedia when you have your own booking system.
<h4>The Result</h4>
<ul>
<li>Google Maps shows YOUR hours, YOUR description, YOUR links</li>
<li>Customers go to YOUR website, not third party sites</li>
<li>You control what Google says about your business</li>
</ul>
One sentence: Synoveo makes sure Google repeats what’s on your website instead of deciding for you.
