      What is the Data Missing Report?

      Comprehensive Guide to the New Data Missing Report: Identifying and Resolving Missing Information Across Platforms

      Overview of the Data Missing Report

      For businesses with multiple locations, maintaining complete and accurate listings across Google, Bing, and Apple is essential for brand reliability, customer experience, and search engine optimization (SEO). Our new Data Missing Report is designed to help you quickly identify missing data in your source records on dbaPlatform compared to live listings on these major platforms. By highlighting gaps in your data, this report provides actionable insights to ensure your listings are fully populated and optimized for maximum visibility.

       

      Key Features of the Data Missing Report

      The Data Missing Report is structured to provide a clear, detailed analysis of missing information across your listings, allowing you to address gaps efficiently.

       

      Section 1. Location Activation Status

      At the top of the report, you’ll find an overview of your Location Activation Status. This section shows:

      • Filtered Locations: Allows for a custom view of either a single location, multiple locations, or your entire account.

      • Sync Activation Status (Google Sync, Bing Sync, Apple Sync): An in-depth table indicating if a location has the sync feature activated for each platform. If sync is turned off for a specific destination, missing data in that location will not be flagged.

      • Sync Rate, Enabled Number & Sync Number: Displays the number and percentage of locations enabled for syncing with each platform, as well as how many of those locations have been successfully synced.

      By providing this top-level view, the report gives you immediate insight into which locations are actively synced and where data gaps may exist.
