Local Citations
Business owners often underestimate the power of local citations in attracting customers. A local citation is any online listing of a business's name, address, and phone number (NAP). At Seodium, we offer a local citation service to businesses that want to dominate their local SERPs and drive traffic to their website.
What Makes Local Citations So Important?
Local citations play a major role in local SEO. By appearing in authoritative directories, it shows search engines that your business is reliable and relevant in local SERPs, increasing visibility to your target audience.
What Does Our Local Citation Service Cover?
Domain Authority
There are thousands of business directories available online. We don't submit your business to appear on all of them. Instead, we search for the most trusted and valuable directories with a high Domain Authority. Some of the business directories we're familiar with include Google Business Profile, Yelp, Yell, and Cylex among others.
Relevance
When choosing the right directories, we assess its relevance to your business. While most directories are general, some directories cater for businesses within a specific industry such as finance, construction and car dealerships.
Location
We also keep the location of your business in mind when choosing directories. Appearing in directories that are specific to your geographic location allows your business listing to be more visible in local rankings.
NAP
When submitting local citations, we include your NAP (Name, Address and Phone Number) data along with opening hours, photos, a short description, website URL or a list of offerings. This information appears in the directory listing.
E-E-A-T
We ensure your business information is accurate and consistently presented across all directories. This is crucial for E-E-A-T, even small discrepancies between your listing and website can confuse both search engines and potential customers.
HARO
We utilise a platform called HARO (Help a Reporter Out) to connect with journalists and gain business mentions in websites, contributing to your local citations and link building profile.
Duplicate Listings
It is possible for your business to have multiple directory links without creating them yourself. Before we submit your business to a directory, we check if there is an existing listing for your business in each directory. Duplicate listings can confuse search engines and harm your local rankings.
Claiming & Verification
Some directories require you to claim or verify your listing to manage and edit it. If we discover other listings, we can claim or verify them on your behalf and edit or remove them if necessary. Claiming these listings allows you to have control over your online business information.
Regular Updates
We regularly check your local citations for accuracy. By utilising tools to manage and monitor citations, we can quickly update your listings if your business information changes such as moving locations or changing phone numbers.
