Avoiding Duplicate Entries & Entering Correct City

You can avoid duplicates to a large extent by taking the data from the correct city that is assigned to you .

You can check the URL and the City name in the Address if you are going outside of your allotted city.

If you run out of entries in your city and head to the Help Page on this channel and take a new city .

Please ensure that you write your name on the next to the city so everyone else is aware it is already done and to avoid it .

If you have a city that is not in the list - then Send me the name of the City and State so I can check to ensure that you are the only person working on it .

Enter the Correct City Name in your sheets

While some duplicate entries can always be expected because of larger companies that have multiple offices to help you reduce the number of duplicate entries we recommend the following steps

* Check that you are logging details from the correct city - The URL and the Address clearly show the name of the city which does not match the city name you were assigned . This causes Duplicate Data because other cities may be registered to another person

* When using a nearby city - ALWAYS - Let us register the city to you before you start to work on it - So we can ensure that only 1 person is working on that city

* Do not cross more than 25 miles around your main city in nearby because then you could possibly be working on someone else's territory

Stick to your city & nearby cities and ensure that you are entering accurate data .

for some companies the address is different but the phone number is the same, should I consider them

No , If the Phone Number , Email Address , License Number, Address , Website Address ( Any ONE of these is the same - It is a Duplicate . Please do not invest your time on them .

We have Same names in business management and principal do we have to put in both or it will count as duplicate

If the same name is provided in BBB for Business Management and Principal - Its Not a Duplicate . Enter Both Names - With their Designations .

Each page of search results shows 15 business profiles, and the maximum pagination goes up to page number 15. Therefore, the maximum number of business profiles we can view is 15×15=225 profiles.

Now, the question is: the search results indicate 778 entries, but the payout sheet specifies that "you must complete all entries in the city selected within a radius of 25 miles. For example, if there are 768 entries in New York, you must complete 768 entries before requesting a payout."

How can we achieve this when the BBB website only allows a maximum of 225 profiles to be displayed?

Answer

BBB in some cases may show it has a larger number of entries - however when you do the math it may come down

This can be for multiple reasons :

A) They may decide to restrict the number of results - Incase they detect your IP as a Bot or if you have too many requests .

B) The total number Includes all entries - ( It reduces when you apply filters )

C) Error on BBB Site

Easy solution - Take a Screenshot of the Last Pages - And Add it to your sheet - Along with URL - We will check the settings and if your settings are correct - We will mark it as done .

You have to keep in mind - you have to complete the Nearby Cities Also .

What this means is

So - New York City - Nearby City = Queens - After you complete your List of New York City , Then you take Queens and Complete the list of Queens - 25 Miles also - ( If there are any Additional Nearby Cities of Queens , You can Add Queens as a Main City ( At the Bottom ) in the Take a City List - Add your name and start from there . Payout for New York and Queens will be different and they will be treated as 2 cities .

What is a unique field?

A unique field contains a value that helps you differentiate records and prevents duplicate records. Depending on your business, it could be email addresses, phone numbers, student IDs, social security numbers, passport numbers, etc. So if you set an email address as a unique field, then no two contact records can have the same email address.

Other Questions

when we take a business sometimes it show business category other than property management like rental, apartments, construction etc below the company name. Do we need to enter that in the sheet or we can just enter it as property management.

2. In some cases there are multiple business with same name with different address and zip codes as they are multicentric. do we need to enter it as different or only one entry is needed. becoz last time when i entered it separately, it lead to duplication.

3. Some cases the website, and facebook link wont open it shows some error, then do we need to enter the link in sheet or just leave the column.

4. If we have a near by city which is main city and it has been already done by someone else then we can skip that city right.
