Citation building service
Your business details, correct everywhere.
Customers and search engines find your business on Apple Maps, Bing, Yelp, industry directories and data aggregators, not just Google. When those listings show an old phone number, a previous address or a slightly different business name, people call the wrong line and Google gets mixed signals about who you are. We audit your existing listings, fix or remove the wrong ones, and build new citations by hand on directories that are relevant to your trade and country.
Who it's for: Local businesses in the US, UK and Canada, especially those that moved, rebranded, changed phone numbers or never claimed their directory listings.
Clear scope · No ranking guarantees · Remote US, Canada & UK support

Questions
Do citations still matter for local SEO?
Consistent listings help customers reach you and support how prominent your business looks online. They work alongside your Google Business Profile, reviews and website, not instead of them.
Why not submit to 500 directories?
Most bulk directories get no visitors and some are spammy. A smaller set of trusted, relevant listings is cleaner and easier to keep accurate.
How long does it take?
Submissions usually take a few weeks, but some directories review listings slowly. We report status for each one.
How much does it cost?
Citation cleanup and building is quoted once, based on how many listings need fixing. Ongoing local SEO plans start at $1,500 a month. New brand? Ask about 50% off your first three months, or share your budget and we will scope honestly.
