Our Citation Building Process
Citation Audit & Discovery
We scan 70+ directories, data aggregators, and industry platforms to find every existing mention of your business. Each listing is evaluated for NAP accuracy, completeness, and duplicate entries.
Correction & Cleanup
We fix incorrect NAP data, merge duplicate listings, and update incomplete profiles across all discovered citations. This cleanup alone often produces measurable ranking improvements.
Strategic New Submissions
We build new citations on the directories and platforms most valuable for your industry, prioritized by domain authority and relevance. Each submission includes full business details, categories, descriptions, and photos where supported.
Ongoing Monitoring & Maintenance
Citations degrade over time as directories update, data aggregators push changes, and new duplicates appear. We monitor your citation profile monthly and address issues before they affect rankings.
Key Benefits
Stronger local ranking signals
Google treats consistent citations as a vote of confidence in your business information. The more authoritative directories that list your correct NAP, the stronger the signal that your business is legitimate and located where you claim.
Broader online visibility beyond Google
Citations put your business in front of customers on Yelp, Apple Maps, Bing, industry directories, and dozens of other platforms people actually use to find local businesses. Each listing is another discovery channel.
A clean data foundation for all local SEO
Inconsistent citations undermine every other local SEO effort. Clean, consistent listings across the web create the foundation that makes GBP optimization, review management, and local link building more effective.
