EatOkra Listing Documentation


Intro: 

EatOkra connects 350,000+ foodies to Black-owned restaurants, eateries, and food trucks nationwide.

NAP: NAP is an acronym for Name, Address, and Phone number. The NAP for the business needs to be correct and consistent when optimizing your website and online presence for local search because Google values accurate information for its users. NAP consistency is important for local SEO because matching NAPs show legitimacy and improves the chances to rank the local business well. It also provides search engines and potential new customers with the most essential information about the business.
