Local Business Citation Service – Business Directory Submissions

Have your business listed on high quality local business directories

Local business directories and other citations are the foundation upon which you build your local search ranking. They are the initial building blocks that any local SEO campaign are built upon. They help your business to be discovered by Google, and provide that initial rankings boost to help you establish your business in your local search results.

What is a citation?

A citation is any reference to your business on the internet outside of your main website. Typically this includes your businesses name, address and phone number, often referred to by the acronym NAP. You can think of them as like a listing in the phone book in the pre-internet days. They also frequently, but not always, include a link to your website, as well as allowing you to describe your services.

The most common form of citations are online business directories, but can include any reference to your business such as blog posts, articles, business registration sites, newspaper websites and so on.

Why are business directory citations important?

The simplest answer is they matter because they promote your business. Citations get the most important information about your business in front of people that are looking for your services. As well as that though, search engines find these listings and take it as a sign of how important your business is.

Business citations are a vital part of building both organic search ranking and improving your local SEO. They help to verify that your business does in fact exist, helps to build trust and to establish your businesses importance over that of your rivals. A business with a lot of citations is more likely to see increased growth than one without.
