Citation building is a cornerstone of local SEO and Google Maps success. We ensure your business is listed accurately and consistently across the web, strengthening your credibility with both Google and potential customers.

 

Here’s what’s included:

1. Directory Submissions to High-Authority Platforms

We submit your business details—including your Name, Address, Phone (NAP), website, and key info—to the most important directories.

Where we submit:

• Core platforms: Google Business Profile, Yelp, Bing Places, Apple Maps, Yellow Pages

2. NAP Consistency Management

Google loves consistency—and so do your customers.

Why it matters:

Consistent details across all listings build trust with Google, directly improving your Maps rankings and preventing customer confusion.

 

3. Local and Niche Citation Creation

We go beyond the basics by placing your business where it matters most:

Local directories: City-specific chamber of commerce sites, local news websites, community directories.

Industry-specific sites: Platforms tailored to your niche for hyper-relevant exposure.

These targeted listings not only help you rank better in Google Maps but also connect you directly with local customers actively seeking your services.

 

4. Citation Cleanup & Correction

Old or incorrect listings can drag you down. We fix them.

What we do:

• Claim and update listings so they reflect your current, correct information.

 

Why it matters:

Bad data confuses Google and can hurt your rankings. Cleaning up your citations restores your credibility and keeps customers finding the right info.

Structured citations: Formal directory listings (like Yelp or Yellow Pages) with standardized fields.

Why it matters:

Structured citations give Google clear signals about your location and services

The Result? More Visibility, More Trust, and More Local Customers

By ensuring your business is listed accurately and widely across the web, we build the foundation Google needs to confidently place you in front of local searchers on Maps.

 

When your citations are correct, complete, and consistent, Google trusts you more—and so do potential customers.
