In one implementation, a method is provided that designates a first listing corresponding to a first web address as a representative listing of an entity. A provider system is searched to identify a second listing associated with the entity, wherein the second listing corresponds to a second web address. A determination is made that the second listing satisfies matching criteria associated with the first listing. An instruction to suppress the second listing on the provider system is received from a system associated with the entity. A request to suppress the second listing associated with the entity is transmitted to the provider system. An indication that the second listing is suppressed on the provider system is received, where, in response to a request to access the second web address associated with the second listing, a web browser is redirected to the first web address associated with the first listing.

Suppressing duplicate listings on a search provider system

A source system receives an indication to suppress a listing associated with an entity, wherein the indication is based at least in part on a confidence score from the source system indicating that the listing is a duplicate of a representative listing. A list of a provider systems that provide search results including the listing associated with the entity is identified. A first provider system is searched for a first listing matching the listing associated with the entity. The source system receives from the first provider system, a provider-supplied external identifier associated with the first listing. A request to suppress is transmitted to the first listing from a search result generated in response to a search request submitted via the first provider system.

Suppressing a duplicate listing from search results generated by a provider system

In one implementation, a method is provided that receives multiple potential listings associated with an entity. A listing is selected from the multiple listings and is designated as a representative listing of the entity. A first request is transmitted to synchronize the representative listing with the entity. Responsive to receiving an indication that a synchronization of the first listing and a web address corresponding with the entity is complete, transmitting to the provider system using an application programming interface, a second request to suppress a second listing of the plurality of potential listings as a duplicate listing. A communication is received from the provider system via the application programming interface that confirms that the second request to suppress the second listing from a search result generated by the provider system is accepted.

Suppressing duplicate listings on a search provider system using API-based communications

Embodiments of the disclosure provide for a knowledge search engine platform to analyze a search query initiated by a user device to identify a natural language inquiry associated with questions about a particular business, (e.g., product brand data such as products, services, employees, events, etc.). This may include searching through large amounts of data for hidden patterns and relationships of events, and presenting this knowledge data in a readily understandable format for users. The knowledge data is then presented in a structured form that is easily digestible to allow users via the user device to find the information they are looking to retrieve. The knowledge data may also include competitor intelligence that allows users to identify competitors, by searching a local pack to return results of potential competitors. The local pack may be within proximity of an indication of location of where the user is searching using with user device.

Method, system, and non-transitory computer readable medium for enhanced business listings

In one implementation, a method is provided that receives multiple potential listings associated with an entity. A listing is selected from the multiple listings and is designated as a representative listing of the entity. A first request is transmitted to synchronize the representative listing with the entity. Responsive to an indication that a synchronization is complete, a second request is provided to suppress a second listing as a duplicate listing. A confirmation of the second request is received and the suppression of the second listing is verified.

A source system receives, from at least one of the user associated with an entity or the human operator associated with the source system, an indication to suppress all listings associated with the entity on one or more provider systems, wherein the indication comprises identification data of the entity and an indication that the identification data of the entity is no longer valid. The source system retrieves, from a database associated with the source system, a list of one or more provider systems associated with the source system and having at least one listing corresponding to the entity. For each provider system in the list of one or more provider systems: the source system searches the provider system for listings having identification data matching the identification data of the entity. The source system receives, from the provider system, one or more matching listings having identification data matching the identification data of the entity, wherein each listing of one or more matching listings has a corresponding provider-supplied external identifier assigned by the provider system. The source system transmits, to the provider system, a request to suppress the one or more matching listings, the request to suppress the one or more matching listings comprising a list of the one or more corresponding provider-supplied external identifiers.

Suppressing duplicate listings on multiple search engine web sites from a single source system triggered by a user

In one implementation, a method is provided that comprises receiving a plurality of potential listings associated with an entity from a provider system. Each listing comprises a confidence score assigned by the provider system. A representative listing of the entity located on the provider system is designated from amongst the plurality of potential listings based on the confidence score. A first request is transmitted to synchronize the representative listing with the entity on the provider system. Responsive to receiving an indication that the request to synchronize is complete, a second request to suppress remaining listings of the potential listings as duplicates is provided. The remaining listings having confidence scores lower than the confidence score associated with the representative listing. The second request to suppress the remaining listings as duplicate listings is provided to the provider system using an API and a confirmation that the remaining listings are suppressed.
