Short answer

NAP consistency is the practice of keeping a business's name, address and phone number identical across its website, Google Business Profile and online directories. Mismatched details can confuse search engines and customers and weaken trust signals. Consistent NAP data supports stronger local search rankings and ensures customers can find and contact the business.
