Abstract

Implementations of the disclosure provide a system for verifying publisher suggestions. The system includes a memory to store profile data for one or more entities; and a processing device coupled to the memory to identify an indication from a source of a suggested change to an online listing data associated with an entity at one or more provider systems. It is determined whether the suggested change matches previously stored information regarding the entity. Responsive to detecting a difference between the suggested change and the stored information, a communication with a client device associated with the entity is initiated based on the suggested change. Input data is received from the client device based on the initiated communication that indicates whether to accept or reject the suggested change. Thereupon, the suggested change is applied to the online listing data at the one or more provider systems in accordance with the input data.

Claims (47)

1. A system comprising:

a memory to store instructions; and

a processing device, operatively coupled to the memory, to execute the instructions to:

identify an indication of a first suggested change to listing data associated with an entity at a first provider system;

determine whether the first suggested change matches previously stored information associated with the entity;

responsive to detecting a difference between the first suggested change and previously stored information, initiate a communication with a client device associated with the entity based on the suggested change;

receive input data from the client device in response to the communication, wherein the input data indicates an acceptance of the first suggested change;

responsive to the acceptance of the first suggested change, apply the first suggested change by accessing each of a plurality of additional provider systems via a respective interface and updating the listing data stored by each of the plurality of additional provider systems, wherein each of the plurality of additional provider systems stores listing data comprising the first suggested change;

receive, at a first time, an instruction to reject a second suggested change to the listing data associated with the entity at the one or more provider systems;

determine a third suggested change is a repeat of the second suggested change; and

reject the third suggested change based on a determination that a difference between the first time the second suggested change was rejected and a current time is within a threshold time period.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processing device is further to detect that a source is associated with a posting of the first suggested change at an online social media site associated with the source.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processing device is further to detect that a source is associated with an overlay of changes to the online listing data at the one or more provider systems.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the processing device is further to replace the overlay of changes at the one or more provider systems with the previously stored information until the first suggested change is accepted.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processing device is further to accept the first suggested change based on the difference being less than a percentage threshold.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processing device is further to:

reject the repeated suggestion based on at least a difference between a time the second suggested change is received and a current time.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein input data comprises an edit to the first suggested change to be applied to the online listing data.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein input data comprises an edit to the first suggested change to be applied to the online listing data.

9. A method comprising:

identifying, by a processing device, an indication of a first suggested change to listing data associated with an entity at a first provider system;

determining whether the suggested change matches previously stored information associated with the entity;

responsive to detecting a difference between the first suggested change and previously stored information, initiate a communication with a client device associated with the entity based on the suggested change;

receiving, by the processing device, input data from the client device in response to the communication, wherein the input data indicates an acceptance of the first suggested change;

responsive to the acceptance of the first suggested change, applying, by the processing device, the first suggested change by accessing each of a plurality of additional provider systems via a respective interface and updating the listing data stored by each of the plurality of additional provider systems, wherein each of the plurality of additional provider systems stores listing data comprising the first suggested change;

receiving, at a first time, an instruction to reject a second suggested change to the listing data associated with the entity at the one or more provider systems;

determining a third suggested change is a repeat of the second suggested change; and

rejecting the third suggested change based on a determination that a difference between the first time the second suggested change was rejected and a current time is within a threshold time period.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising detecting that a source is associated with a posting of the first suggested change at an online social media site associated with the source.

11. The method of claim 9 , further comprising detecting that a source is associated with an overlay of changes to the online listing data at the one or more provider systems.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising replacing the overlay of changes at the one or more provider systems with the previously stored information until the first suggested change is accepted.

13. The method of claim 9 , further comprising rejecting the second suggested change based on the difference being less than a percentage threshold.

14. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

rejecting the repeated suggestion based on at least a difference between a time the second suggested change is received and a current time.

15. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to:

identify, by the processing device, an indication of a first suggested change to listing data associated with an entity at one or more provider systems;

determine whether the first suggested change matches previously stored information associated with the entity;

responsive to detecting a difference between the first suggested change and previously stored information, initiate a communication with a client device associated with the entity based on the suggested change;

receive input data from the client device based on the initiated communication, wherein the input data indicates whether to accept or reject the first suggested change;

responsive to the acceptance of the first suggested change, apply the first suggested change by accessing each of a plurality of additional provider systems via a respective interface and updating the listing data stored by each of the plurality of additional provider systems, wherein each of the plurality of additional provider systems stores listing data comprising the first suggested change;

receive, at a first time, an instruction to reject a second suggested change to the listing data associated with the entity at the one or more provider systems;

determine a third suggested change is a repeat of the second suggested change; and

reject the third suggested change based on a determination that a difference between the first time the second suggested change was rejected and a current time is within a threshold time period.

16. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the processing device is further to detect that a source is associated with a posting of the suggested change at an online social media site associated with the source.

17. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the processing device is further to detect that a source is associated with an overlay of changes to the online listing data at the one or more provider systems.

18. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 17 , wherein the processing device is further to replace the overlay of changes at the one or more provider systems with the previously stored information until the first suggested change is accepted.

19. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the processing device is further to reject the suggested change based on the difference meeting a percentage threshold.
