Inconsistent citations silently kill your local rankings. We build and clean 100+ listings so Google trusts you.
Fix My CitationsWhat Are Citations?
A citation is any online mention of your business name, address, and phone number (NAP) — whether on a directory like Yelp, a data aggregator like Foursquare, or a niche site for your industry. Google uses these mentions to verify your business exists, where it's located, and whether your information is consistent across the web.
When your NAP is inconsistent — a different phone number here, an old address there, a misspelled business name — Google loses confidence in your data. The result: lower local rankings, reduced map pack visibility, and lost customers before they ever find you.
We fix all of that — and build a citation footprint that becomes a durable trust signal for your local search presence.
Why Consistency Matters for Local SEO
Google cross-references your business data across hundreds of sources. Mismatches create conflicting signals that suppress rankings.
Data aggregators like Foursquare and Factual push your business info to dozens of downstream directories automatically — accurate or not.
Customers lose trust instantly when your phone number on Google doesn't match Yelp or your hours are wrong on Apple Maps.
Citation authority is one of Google's top local ranking factors — more citations from authoritative sources directly improves map pack position.

Local Citations Questions Answered
What citations are, why they matter, and what to expect from each tier.
What are local citations and why do they matter?
A local citation is any online mention of your business name, address, and phone number (NAP). Consistent, widespread citations help Google verify your business is legitimate and relevant to local searches — directly supporting Map Pack rankings.
How many citations does my business need?
Most local businesses need 25–60 core citations to establish a solid foundation. Highly competitive markets may require 100 or more with active monitoring. We assess your current coverage before recommending a tier.
What is NAP consistency and why is it important?
NAP stands for Name, Address, Phone number. When these details vary across directories — even slightly — Google loses confidence in your business data, which can suppress local rankings. Consistency across all listings is a foundational ranking signal.
How long does citation building take?
Most submissions are completed within 7–14 business days. Some directories take additional time to verify and publish listings. We provide a confirmation report once submissions are complete.
Does citation building still work for local SEO?
Yes. Citations remain a foundational local ranking signal, particularly for Google Map Pack visibility. Clean, consistent directory listings directly support Google's ability to trust and rank your business locally.
