Effortless Local Citation Building – Lets Us Handle It
for You!

Citation building refers to the process of having your business information—such as name, address, and phone number (NAP)—consistently listed across various online directories and platforms. Search engines like Google view these consistent mentions as a sign of trust and credibility. The more accurate and consistent your citations are, the better your chances of ranking higher in local search results.

Our Citation Building service ensures that your business information is manually submitted to reliable and reputable local directories. This way, your business can easily be found online with accurate details, improving its visibility. Citation services are especially valuable for businesses with a physical location, helping them strengthen their local SEO and attract more customers nearby.

Citation building enhances local SEO by ensuring your business information is accurate and widely available across various online platforms. Consistent listings of your business name, address, and phone number on local directories and business websites help search engines recognize your credibility.

This boosts your visibility in local search results, making it easier for customers to find you when they search for services in your area.

If your website lacks consistency or credibility in the eyes of search engine bots, it may not get the attention it deserves in search results. Keeping your NAP data (Name, Address, and Phone Number) accurate and consistent across your online presence helps build trust, making your site more reliable and visible for local searches. 

To get started, we just need some basic information about your business. This includes your business name, address, and phone number. Additionally, we’ll need your website URL and a brief description that gives us an overview of what your business is all about. Providing these details ensures that your NAP (Name, Address, Phone) data is accurate and consistent, helping us deliver the best results for you.

Absolutely! When you place your order, you’ll be asked to fill in the necessary fields for the NAP (Name, Address, Phone) details. We’ll ensure that your information is submitted exactly as you’ve provided it.

No worries! Our production team carefully checks your business information in each directory before we submit anything, ensuring there are no duplicate listings. Occasionally, your business might already be listed in some of the 100 directories we work with. If that's the case, we'll refund you for the directories we don't need to resubmit your details to as part of our local citation service. We're here to make the process as smooth and efficient as possible for you!

Absolutely! Once your citations are submitted, our dedicated citation building team will take a screenshot of each directory entry to ensure everything is in place. You’ll have full visibility into the process, with easy access to this report through your dashboard. Plus, you can download a clean, unbranded CSV report for your convenience, giving you peace of mind knowing everything is handled.

When it comes to live placements, you can typically expect around 25% of your local directory submissions to go live immediately. However, each directory has its own set of rules and review processes, so some submissions may require additional time for approval. This could involve the directory verifying business details with the owner, either through a phone call, email, or letter.

Naturally, this may extend the time it takes for a placement to go live and will depend on the active involvement of the business owner (that's you or your client). While we can't guarantee that every submission will result in an instant live listing due to these varying factors, we make sure to provide you with a comprehensive submission report. This report includes screenshots of any submissions that didn't immediately lead to a live placement.

We provide citation building services in the UK, US, Australia, and Canada. Wherever your business is based, we've got you covered!

In some cases, directories may want to verify your listing by reaching out via phone or email. These submissions tend to take a little longer for approval. For agencies, it's a good idea to inform your clients about this process. That way, if they receive a call, they'll understand it’s just a routine verification to confirm that their business exists and the details provided are accurate.

Not all directories will permit website links—fewer than half actually do. And even when they do, the links may be "nofollow," meaning they won't directly impact SEO. However, the real benefit of using these directories lies in the consistency of your NAP (Name, Address, Phone Number) information. Search engines rely on this consistency to confirm your business’s location, which can play a crucial role in local search visibility.

Our local citation building service is entirely hands-on. For websites that don’t automatically accept submissions, we capture a screenshot of the submission page as proof, which we include in your report.

We submit to a variety of trusted directories and websites, including popular platforms like Yelp, FourSquare, HotFrog, Scoot, and Brownbook, to name just a few. You can find more examples listed above!

We ensure that at least 20% - 30% of your citations will be indexed within two – three weeks, with natural growth and additional indexing happening over time. While we focus on directories that maintain healthy indexing practices, some citations may take a little longer to appear due to natural variations in how indexing occurs. Rest assured, we aim for all citations to be successfully indexed.

No, paid listings are not included in our services. If a client wishes to secure a paid listing, they will need to cover both the listing fee and our service fee.
