NetLocalBiz
NetLocalBiz belongs to the set of business directories the Listings API publishing network keeps in sync, holding the same business name, category, address, phone, website, and hours as the rest of the plan.
Each directory in a network like this normally requires its own manual update whenever business details change, multiplying the work across every site. Listings API consolidates that into one API call that publishes and syncs the NetLocalBiz listing automatically.
Getting a business onto NetLocalBiz takes a few API calls using details such as name, category, address, phone, website, and hours. Listings API lets you:
- Create a location that publishes to NetLocalBiz and every other citation on the plan at once.
- Update the name, category, address, phone, website, or hours through a single call.
- Read back publishing status and the live NetLocalBiz listing URL once it goes through.
What the API does on NetLocalBiz
Listing sync
Name, address, phone, hours, description, categories, website, and photos publish to NetLocalBiz from one canonical record. The same write updates the rest of your plan's network.
Publish status you can query
Per site publish state and live listing links are readable back through the API, so you can verify the NetLocalBiz listing from response instead of checking it manually.
Typed SDKs + MCP
Node.js and Python SDKs with full types, plus a hosted MCP server so agents and LLM tools can drive the same API.

NetLocalBiz + Listings API
How do I add a business to NetLocalBiz using the API?
Call createLocation with the business name, category, street address, city, state, postal code, country, and phone number. That call publishes the location to NetLocalBiz together with every other citation on the plan, with no separate directory listing to fill in by hand.
How are updates, like a new phone number, sent to NetLocalBiz?
Through updateLocation, sending the location ID plus just the fields that changed, whether that is a phone number, address, or hours. The same call updates NetLocalBiz and every other citation on the plan in one request, without a manual edit made on the directory.
Do I need a NetLocalBiz account, and can Listings API post or reply to reviews there?
No account, login, or verification on NetLocalBiz is required. One Listings API key covers every call, and Listings API is independent, not affiliated with NetLocalBiz. NetLocalBiz is listing sync only, so posts and review replies remain limited to the Google and Facebook profiles.
Which plan includes NetLocalBiz?
NetLocalBiz is included on every plan, starting with Launch. Once a location is created, it publishes to NetLocalBiz as part of the same citation set the plan covers, alongside every other directory in the network, with no separate fee for this one directory.
Are updates to NetLocalBiz real time?
Yes. Creates and updates are pushed to NetLocalBiz through its API in real time. Read the per publisher status with GET /api/v4/locations/{locationId}/listings/premium.
