i was just thinking about that nightmare where a client leaves and suddenly their phone number is all wrong. apparently it depends on if the provider uses an api connection or just manual submissions.
>the connection ends and listings can revert to old data or even disappear
it's so easy to forget to check this during offboarding. if it's just a continuous data stream, you're basically paying for a temporary fix that vanishes the second the subscription stops. i hate how some of these tools act like they're permanent when they're really just renting the data to us. it's all just an illusion if the provider doesn't use paid insertion. does anyone actually check their api setup before signing a new client?

the data doesn't just revert to old info because once those citations are live they stay until someone or something changes them again.

seen it happen with a plumber's listing when the sync breaks. the aggregator just pulls whatever old info is sitting in their cache and overwrites your recent updates. it's total chaos once the api stops pushing the new stuff.

happened to a dental client last month when i forgot to manually verify the 'yelp' profile after we dropped that dashboard subscription.
