  • Google Search Console β€” verify zippeehomes.com and submit https://zippeehomes.com/sitemap.xml
  • Bing Webmaster Tools β€” same verification + sitemap
  • Google Business Profile β€” link website if you have a Monrovia service area
  • Social bios β€” homepage + /locations/monrovia-liberia on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, TikTok

Phase 2 β€” Liberia directories (Weeks 2–4)
