Why it matters
What’s really at stake in your market
Citations are the plumbing of local SEO. Invisible when they work, expensive when they leak.
Bad data actively hurts
Old addresses, wrong numbers, and duplicate listings do not just confuse customers. They erode Google's trust in your data and drag down your map rankings.
You own every listing
No rented subscriptions that vanish when you stop paying. We hand over login credentials for everything we build, so your citations are yours for good.
What’s included
Everything we handle for you
A full sweep of your existing citations, then hand-built listings where they count. Built once, owned forever.
Web-wide NAP audit
We find every mention of your business online and score it against your correct name, address, and phone number, so nothing is guesswork.
Duplicate suppression
Duplicate and conflicting listings are merged, claimed, or removed. These are the errors that hurt most and that owners rarely know exist.
Core directory submissions
Hand-built listings across 80+ authoritative directories including Apple Maps, Bing Places, Yelp, and the data sources Google checks most.
Industry and geo citations
Placements on the directories specific to your industry and city, the ones your competitors miss and Google weighs heavily for relevance.
Credential handover
Every listing is documented with its login details and delivered to you. Full ownership, no lock-in, no recurring ransom.
Quarterly re-verification
Directories change and aggregators overwrite data. We re-check your core citations every quarter and fix drift before it spreads.
All of the above is part of the engagement. No add-ons, no surprise fees, no long-term contracts.
How it works
From audit to results, step by step
Audit what exists
A full crawl of your current citations, flagging every inconsistency, duplicate, and missing listing against your correct business data.
Clean up the damage
Wrong data gets corrected and duplicates get suppressed first. Building on top of bad data just multiplies the problem.
Build where it counts
Manual submissions to core, industry, and geo-specific directories, with consistent NAP data and complete profiles on each.
Verify and hand over
Every listing is verified live, documented, and delivered with credentials, plus a quarterly re-check to keep the data clean.
“They fixed citation issues we didn't even know we had. Our map rankings jumped within weeks.”

Citation Building questions, answered
What are citations, and why do they matter?
Citations are mentions of your business name, address, and phone number across directories, review sites, and industry listings. Consistent, accurate citations tell Google your business is legitimate and well-established. Inconsistencies like old addresses, wrong phone numbers, and duplicate listings actively hurt your rankings.
Do you build citations manually or with software?
Manually. Automated submissions produce incomplete profiles and duplicates, which is exactly the problem citations are supposed to solve. A real person builds, claims, and verifies each listing.
Do we keep the listings if we stop working with you?
Yes. Every listing we build belongs to you, and we hand over the login credentials as part of delivery. Nothing disappears if the engagement ends.
We moved offices last year. Can you fix the old address everywhere?
Yes, that is one of the most common cleanup jobs we do. We track down every listing showing the old address, correct or remove it, and make sure the aggregators that feed other directories carry the right data.
