Local Citation Building Done-For-You.

Local citations are multiple consistent mentions of your business information on website directories and other properties found on the internet. Search engines such as Google use these mentions as a trust signal, and consistent NAP citations of your business will help you to rank higher within local search results.

With our Citation Building service, we manually submit your business info to trusted local business directories to ensure that accurate and consistent data relating to your business can be found easily online. Citation services are particularly beneficial for local businesses with a physical location who are looking to improve their local SEO.

Local citation building is great for local rankings because it helps to ensure that consistent data relating to your business can be found across the internet. Having accurate business information spread across a magnitude of business directories and local business listings help to ensure that internet users will be able to find your business when completing local searches.

If your website doesn’t seem authentic to search engine bots, you won’t be prioritised in the SERPs. Consistent NAP data (name, address and phone number) boost legitimacy and improves your online visibility for local searches.

For this service, we require all of your basic business information such as your business Name, Address and Phone Number. We also need your website URL and a short description summarising your business. You must provide this information so that we can ensure that your NAP data is consistent and accurate.

Yes, when placing your order you’ll be requested to complete all the fields we require for constant NAP information and we’ll submit it exactly as you order.

Our production team ensures that we’ll never duplicate citation listings by checking for your business details in each directory before we submit them. Sometimes your business will already have listings in some of the 100 directories on our approved list. If this is the case, as part of our local citation service, we’ll provide a partial refund for the amount we can’t do.

Yes. Our citation building team will screenshot every single local directory submission at the final stage so you have peace of mind knowing your citation has been submitted. This report will be accessible from the order in your dashboard and you can download an unbranded white label CSV report.

Upon completion, you can expect around 25% of the local directory submissions to result in instant live listings. Different business directories will have different rules regarding acceptance and you may be subject to a longer review process which may also include the directory verifying business details with the owners via phone, email, or letter. This will of course increase the length of time a placement may get accepted and will also require the full cooperation of the business owner (i.e you or your client). We simply don’t guarantee all submissions will result in a live placement because of these variables but we do provide you with a full submission report which shows screenshots of any submission that may not have resulted in an instant live placement.

Currently, no. We provide all the login information we used to create your listing account in your report. You can then access and make any changes you need to.

We can build citations in the UK, US, Australia, and Canada.

Some directories will probably want to verify your listing by calling your business number or emailing your email account at a later date. These submissions are usually the ones that are not instantly approved. For agencies, it’s advisable to let your clients know this so if they do receive a call, it’s usually simply just to verify the business exists and the information is correct about them.

Not all citations allow website links (less than 50%) and the ones that do may be nofollow. The value of this service is ensuring a consistent NAP mention of your business as search engines may use this to verify the location of a business.

Our local citation building service is completely manual, and for websites that don’t auto accept we take a screenshot of the submission page to show the submission on your report.

Expect sites like Yelp, FourSquare, HotFrog, Scoot, and Brownbook. See more examples above!

We guarantee that 25% will be indexed within two weeks as a minimum with natural pick-up and additional indexing over time beyond that. We do expect that all citations can index and only work with healthily-indexing directories, but due to natural variances some may take longer to be picked up.
