An example of hit
Verify and fix business names.
Instructions: Using the provided website link, verify the businesses name and enter the correct business name as you would expect to see it in a phone directory listing.
When verifying the business name, we want the correct name for the business as you would expect to find it in a phone book. Spelling, punctuation, and capitalization are all important. You can often find the correct business name in the header or footer. Also look at how the business refers to itself in the text on their page. For example, you might find “Bob’s Sandwich Shack sells delicious sandwiches!” in the text. This tells us that “Bob’s Sandwich Shack” is the correct name for this business.
Some businesses have different names for specific locations or divisions. If you come across one of these, use the name that you find best matches for the location or division. For example, if the name we supply is “Hauppauge Adult Ed-High School” but the link takes you to a school district page, try to find the best name for the specific school. In this case, the correct name is “Hauppauge High School”.
Examples
Incorrect | Correct | Reason |
---|---|---|
CANDLEWOOD SUITES | Candlewood Suites | Except in rare cases, most business names are not in all caps. |
Liebe High Schl | Liebe High School | Abbreviations are usually not the correct way to list a business/organization's name. |
Ihop | IHOP | Some business names are in all-caps because they are acronyms. Use your best judgment! |
