Yes we can do both of these. New submissions are very straightforward. Claiming or editing of existing listings is more complicated and the approach depends on the directory in question. Some directories allow email verification for claiming listings while others require phone verification.  If we are unable to claim a listing then we will submit an ‘edit’ to the listing via other means provided..

Failure to convey authenticity to search engine bots can result in a lower priority in the Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs) for your website. Maintaining consistent NAP data (name, address, and phone number) enhances legitimacy, ultimately improving your online visibility in local searches.

To avail of this service, we need essential business details, including your business name, address, and phone number. Additionally, we require your website URL and a brief description that encapsulates the essence of your business. Furnishing this information is crucial to guarantee the consistency and accuracy of your NAP data.

Certainly, when you place your order, you will be prompted to fill in all the necessary fields to provide consistent NAP information. Rest assured, we will submit it precisely as per your order to ensure accuracy and uniformity.

Certainly. Our citation building team goes the extra mile by capturing screenshots of every individual local directory submission during the final stage. This ensures you have peace of mind, knowing that your citation has been successfully submitted. The comprehensive report will be available through your dashboard, accessible from the order, and can be downloaded as an unbranded white-label CSV report.

Upon completion, anticipate approximately 25% of the local directory submissions to yield instant live listings. Different business directories adhere to varying acceptance rules, and some may undergo a longer review process. This extended process may involve the directory verifying business details directly with owners via phone, email, or letter. It’s important to note that the length of time for acceptance may increase, requiring the full cooperation of the business owner (either you or your client). While we do not guarantee that all submissions will result in immediate live placements due to these variables, we provide a comprehensive submission report. This report includes screenshots of any submissions that may not have resulted in an instant live placement.

As of now, we do not retain access to your listing account. In your report, we furnish all the login information used to create your listing account, allowing you to access and make any necessary changes on your own.

Our citation building service extends to various regions, including the UK, US, Australia, and Canada.

Certain directories may opt to verify your listing by reaching out through a phone call or email at a later date, typically for submissions that are not instantly approved. It is recommended for agencies to inform their clients about this process so that in the event of a verification call, it is typically a straightforward confirmation of the business’s existence and the accuracy of the provided information. Keeping clients informed helps streamline the verification process and ensures a smoother experience.

It’s important to note that not all citations permit website links, with less than 50% of them offering this feature. Additionally, even among those that do allow links, they may be marked as “nofollow.” The significance of this service lies in establishing a consistent NAP mention for your business. Search engines often use this information to verify the location of a business, making the service valuable for enhancing the online presence and credibility of your business.

Our local citation building service is entirely manual. For websites that do not automatically accept submissions, we go the extra mile by capturing a screenshot of the submission page. This ensures transparency and is included in your detailed report, providing a visual confirmation of the submission process.

Anticipate the inclusion of prominent sites such as Yelp, FourSquare, HotFrog, Scoot, and Brownbook as part of our local citation building service. Additional examples can be found above for a comprehensive overview of the platforms we engage with.
