Perhaps the duplicate listing alert should check more than just the business name. Maybe it could also include a check on the zip/postal data and/or a regex on some numerics from the address field.

I do understand that it currently checks for a duplicate name upon data going into the business name fields – however maybe this could be stalled until a little more information is provided.

Maybe it could activate after the business name is entered and either the address field or zip/postal code.

Perhaps either a match on a zip/postal code (remember to remove spaces) and/or a regex on numerics in the address field.

Then, if it finds a match, it could activate a js pop or overlay with a listing of matched items that includes their name and address to see if you should really proceed in adding it?

It’s a great feature, however in its current form there are too many false positives – and no actionable data is provided to help the person entering the data understand if it’s truly a duplicate or not.
