SEO citations, also known as business listings or directory listings, refer to the mentions of your business’s name, address, and phone number (NAP) on other websites.
These listings are important for local search engine optimization (SEO) as they help search engines like Google verify the legitimacy of your business and improve your online visibility.
Here are some reasons why you should consider investing in SEO citations:
Boost Local SEO
When search engines see consistent information about your business across multiple websites, they are more likely to trust and rank your website higher in search results, especially for local searches.
Increase Online Visibility
By having your business listed in multiple directories and platforms, you increase the chances of your business being found by potential customers who may not have heard of your brand before.
Establish Trust
Consistent NAP information on multiple directories and platforms establishes trust and legitimacy in the eyes of search engines and customers. It also ensures that customers can easily contact and get to you (think GPS directions and those Uber and Lyft maps rideshare drivers use to get your customers to your location).
Competitive Edge
Investing in SEO citations can give you an edge over competitors who may not have optimized their online listings, making it easier for customers to find and choose your business over others.
While you can create your own SEO citations, it is excruciatingly time-consuming and difficult to ensure consistency across multiple directories.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Which package is right for me?
The initial citations service + monthly citations subscription is best for staying on page 1 by consistently boosting local and organic link signals.
2. What kind of citations do you build?
I build more than just the typical citations that come to mind (i.e., occurrences of your business name, address, and phone number on local directories). I also create unstructured, rich-media citations. With a larger variety of different citation types across trusted websites, your local search ranking will get a much higher boost. Examples of unstructured rich-media citations include video, photo, and social (Vimeo, Flickr, Tumblr, etc.).
3. How does it work?
We kick things off with a citation audit to see what’s working and what needs fixing. This is followed up by a competitive analysis which identifies the citations your competitors have that you don’t and then we build citations that are high authority, relevant, and mostly likely to be approved and stay live.
4. Can I order for multiple locations at once?
Yes. You can either place separate orders for each location or just pay it all at once for the amount of locations you need the citations package for, and we will ask for the business information of each location after payment.
5. What do you guarantee?
We guarantee successful placement and accuracy. If a citation is rejected for any reason, we’ll replace it with an equal or better opportunity at no extra cost. You’ll never pay for citations you don’t receive.
