Make Sure Your Business Shows Up Correctly Everywhere Online
A "citation" is any place online that lists your business name, address, and phone number. Google uses citations to verify that your business is real and trustworthy. If your information is different across different websites, it confuses Google and hurts your rankings.
Why Citations Matter
Think of citations like references on a job application. The more places that correctly list your business information, the more Google trusts you. But if your name is spelled differently on Yelp than on Google, or your phone number is wrong on the Yellow Pages, Google gets confused and may not show you in search results at all.
Our Citation Building Process
We submit your business to 29 key directories, organized by priority: Critical (Google, Bing, Apple, Yelp, Facebook), High (Nextdoor, YellowPages, BBB, Foursquare), Medium (MapQuest, Angi, Thumbtack, Chamber of Commerce), and Low priority niche directories. Every listing is verified for accuracy.
Data Aggregators
We also submit to data aggregators like Data Axle and Neustar Localeze. These companies feed information to hundreds of other directories. Getting listed correctly with aggregators multiplies the reach of your citations automatically.
What You Get
Common Questions
What is NAP consistency?
NAP stands for Name, Address, Phone number. NAP consistency means your business name, address, and phone number are exactly the same on every website and directory where your business is listed. Even small differences (like "Street" vs "St.") can confuse Google.
