Helping Local Businesses Succeed Since 1998

Did You Know?

• Increase their online visibility. Citations are mentions of a business name, address, and phone number (NAP) on various platforms such as search engines, directories, maps, and apps. Having accurate and consistent citations across these platforms can help potential customers find and contact the business easily. Citations also signal to search engines that the business is legitimate and relevant, which can improve its ranking in local search results.

• Build their reputation and trust. Citations can also include other information such as reviews, ratings, photos, and descriptions that showcase the business’s products or services. Having positive and authentic feedback from customers can help the business to attract more leads and conversions. Citations can also demonstrate the business’s authority and expertise in its industry, especially if it is listed on reputable and niche-specific platforms.

• Monitor and manage their online presence. Citations can be generated manually or automatically, which means that the business may have multiple or inaccurate listings on different platforms. This can confuse customers and harm the business’s reputation. Online citation management services can help the business to create, update, and remove citations as needed, ensuring that they have a consistent and accurate online presence. Citation management services can also provide analytics and insights on how the business is performing online and how it can improve its strategy.
