Citations in Local Business Directories

For Business Owners

What are citations? Citations are business listings in local directories that reference your business information. Typically these business listings consist of your NAP (Name Address Phone number), in addition to a website link. This helps build online credibility for not only search engines, but also customers researching your company before making a purchase. Business directories are fantastic way to get more exposure for your business.

For Digital Marketing Agencies

Do you have customers that you need to get citations for? Citations for a GMB (Google My Business) are crucial to be in the “Map Pack”. Without citations you are typically low in search results as the search engine will deem that business listing as irrelevant and not reputable. We have high authority websites available to list your customers on for guest posts (all do follow contextual backlinks) as well as business directory listings for citation purposes.
