Local Citation Service
What is a Citation?
A citation is any mention of your business name, address, and phone number (NAP) on the Internet. Citations can appear in directories, on websites, or social media platforms. Citations are a way for online users to discover your business and enable a valuable link back to your website.
Components of a local citation
The main components of a citation are the NAP, plus a possible link to a desired website. Some citation sites, known as directories, may contain additional elements, such as:
- Hours of operation
- Business categories
- Images
- Video
- Method of payment
- Map location
Why are citations important?
Local citations can impact a business website in a positive or negative way. The number of citations, the quality of the platform they reside on, and the accuracy of the information, all influence how a website is ranked in a local search.
Search engines, like Google, gathers data across the web pertaining to local businesses. If the search engines find that this data is consistent throughout the Internet, it can impact the ranking of that business is a positive way.
If the data they find is inconsistent, such as conflicting NAP information, it can negatively affect rankings. Search engines want to give web searchers the best possible result for a given search term. Citations that are inaccurate can mislead potential customers, and thus are not ranked as high in the search engine results.
