Citations (Local SEO)

Definition: Listings of your business that include its name, address, and phone number in external directories, such as the Yellow Pages, Yelp, Jameda, and industry portals.

Everyday analogy: It’s like when your name appears in multiple phone books, the more often and the more consistently it appears, the more clearly Google knows that you actually exist.

How we use this: In our local SEO audit, we check citation consistency and prioritize directories based on their trustworthiness in Google’s eyes.
