Citation building services, submitted by hand
Citation building done by hand: a person submits your business to business and local directories with the same name, website, description and contact details on every listing, and you get a live link for each one.
A citation is any listing that names your business and its details. Consistent citations make a business easy to verify, and each listing on a real directory is also a referring domain.
Enter your site and we read what your business does, pick the business and local directories that fit and show the price. Pay once and a person submits each listing.

What our citation building service covers
We do the submission part: listing your business on business directories and local directory sites with one consistent set of details. A person fills each form, chooses the category from that directory's list and writes the description to its limits.
We don't manage your Google Business Profile. We don't run citation audits or citation cleanup services, and we don't promise local rankings. Map rankings depend on things a directory listing can't change, such as your distance from the searcher and your reviews.
Local business directory submission: consistency matters most
Send your details exactly as you want them to appear: the business name you trade under, your website, a contact email, a short description, a long description, your logo and your categories. If you want a physical address listed, give it in one format and we'll use that format everywhere. If you'd rather not list one, tell us and we'll skip the directories that require it.
Citations work when they agree with each other. Use one form of your business name, one website address and the same contact details everywhere. A listing with an old address or a different name format is harder to match to your business.
We collect your details once in the intake form and use them on every listing, so our local directory submission service produces one consistent profile instead of many versions of it.
When local citations services are the wrong fit
If your listings are already scattered with old addresses and duplicates, you need cleanup before new citations, and that's a local SEO specialist's job. If you're a business that sells online, our business directory submission service page describes the directories that fit you better.
