Every inconsistent listing confuses search engines and loses customers. We build a tiered citation network where accurate business information flows from authoritative sources down through the entire digital ecosystem.

Citation Problems We Help You Overcome

Inconsistent or missing citations undermine local search performance and confuse potential customers:

Inconsistent NAP Data – Different addresses, phone numbers, or business name variations across platforms create conflicting signals that hurt rankings.

Duplicate Listings – Multiple listings for the same location split reviews and engagement, diluting your local search authority.

Missing Key Platforms – Your business isn’t listed on important directories where customers search and competitors dominate.

Unverified Profiles – Unclaimed listings on Google, Bing, and Apple mean you can’t control your business information or respond to reviews.

Stagnant Citation Growth – Citation velocity has stalled, sending signals of declining relevance to search algorithms.

Unlinked Brand Mentions – Your brand is mentioned across the web, but those mentions don’t link back to your site, wasting authority potential.

Citation Management Questions Answered

How many citations do we need?

Quality matters more than quantity. We focus on 40-60 high-quality citations across Tier 1-3 sources rather than hundreds of low-value listings. The goal is consistent, accurate presence on platforms that matter.

How long does citation cleanup take?

Initial cleanup typically takes 4-8 weeks depending on how many inconsistencies exist. Some platforms update within days; others take weeks to process changes. Data aggregators can take 8-12 weeks to propagate.

Do you manage multi-location businesses?

Yes. We create location-specific strategies with standardized naming conventions, individual citation profiles, and coordinated monitoring to maintain consistency across all locations.

What about duplicate listings?

We identify and resolve duplicates through platform-specific processes. Some can be merged to consolidate reviews; others need to be marked as duplicates or removed entirely.

How do you convert unlinked mentions?

We monitor for brand mentions, identify high-value unlinked citations, and conduct personalized outreach to site owners requesting link additions. Typical conversion rates are 10-25% depending on the source.

What ongoing monitoring is included?

Monthly audits check for new inconsistencies, unauthorized changes, and emerging platforms. We also track citation growth, share of voice, and competitive positioning with regular reporting.
