The first time you access your free trial, Thryv will automatically calculate your Digital Marketing Score. This score is a composite number based on the strength of:
- Your Online Listings
- Your Website
- Your Social Media Presence
Once your score is calculated, you are equipped to take the most valuable action possible for your business's online presence. The score will tell you specifically which part of your brand needs attention first. Each section contains a button to take you to the specific part of Thryv that can address your need.
Activate Your Online Listings
It's important that your business appears no matter where your customers are searching. Having consistent and accurate information on all of your online listings leads to a smoother experience, and it causes online search sites (like Google) to rank you higher, as they are more confident in your listing. This process is a one-time effort that pays off for years to come, making your business more visible and professional online.
It takes an estimated 3-5 minutes to complete the guided walkthrough. At the end, your business listing will be submitted to 16 major publishers, including Google Business Profile and enhanced profiles on Yelp, NextDoor, YP.Com, and Yahoo.

- Your business category and sub-categories - At least one, no more than 10.
- Links to your website and social media pages
