Ask any Local SEO expert, and they would tell you the importance of Local SEO citations. They pretty much work as a Yellow Pages for your business, if only Yellow Pages’ power was distributed among thousands of websites, and each website had the ability to promote your business. Here, we try to do the same by answering all of the general questions surrounding the topic and especially the questions that are present on Quora so that by the time you finish reading this, you can understand, What are SEO Citations and how can they help boost my business? A variety of firms provide local citation listing service for local SEO. A citation basically mentions the name address and phone number for local businesses thus impacting local search engine rankings. It can be found on local business directories, websites, apps and social media platforms as well. Local citations involve <\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1520499417801{margin-top: 10px !important;margin-bottom: 10px !important;}”]\n These can be produced by the utilization of mechanized programming (like Moz Local), by rounding out structures on nearby business stages physically or using different techniques for PR\/advertising to different stages. Citations also result in the flow of data between business data platforms <\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text] Many companies provide local citation listing service for local SEO like JC Web Pros, Bright Local and The Hoth.

This is actually a negative aspect which can lead to decrease in SERP ranking and also affect your SEO. Because when there are multiple locations listed the search engine gets confused as to which one is correct which is a pretty obvious situation in real life as well. Thus it highly likely those customers would be showered with wrong information which is the exact antithesis of what you want.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1520499717424{margin-top: 10px !important;margin-bottom: 10px !important;}”]\n The easiest way to do so would be to log in to your Google Account and go to your listings page. Click on \u201cmanage pages\u201d, and delete the ones you think are not required anymore. For further details click on the link mentioned below. I agree with Tim Dawes. Google had, in fact, made it pretty clear to prohibit the listing of online companies on Google places. Because obviously, an online company does not own a physical address and Google places cannot start listing every place where a virtual company provides service to. It is like leading a nomadic life, where you don\u2019t have a permanent residence. The power of business development is dependent on its marketing and local listing acts as a gateway to better recognition and visibility. Local listing<\/strong> as the name might give you a vague idea is a list, an online database that contains your business details viz. Name, address, contact number. Let\u2019s take up an example here. Suppose you are looking for an electronic shop. When you search on Google a plethora of options will flood your screen. Usually, the results are displayed on the top, how is this happening? The answer is SEO (Search Engine Optimization)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1520499987992{margin-top: 10px !important;margin-bottom: 10px !important;}”]\n There exist two type of business listings:- national and global. Local listing is more like a promotion of your business on various handles that redirect people to your organisation which increases your website views. The internet is a global tool now used for all sorts of purposes and plays an important role in advertising and promotions.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” bg_color=”#ffffff” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” bottom_padding=”1%” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_custom_heading text=”5.

These local directory sites experience the largest amount of traffic and are listed by size. Google has introduced Penguin to avoid spam directories There is no such shortage of directory sites that offer client services, try to find the suitable ones. But reviews suggest directories might not be helpful for clients plus they have a bad reputation and have been penalized by Google as well. YouTube and Twitter can also be used as a directory. There is Yellow pages, Google, Yelp, Bing and many more.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1520500214041{margin-top: 5px !important;margin-bottom: 5px !important;}”]\n To effectively use the correct directories for your business page, use directories which offer similar products or services as per your topic, this will get your website more hits, and Google will rank your website better than before.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1520500289524{margin-top: 5px !important;margin-bottom: 5px !important;}”]\n To find out more about local directories, refer to this website<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” bg_color=”#ffffff” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” bottom_padding=”1%” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_custom_heading text=”6.

But Google offers a larger data set than Yelp. Google Places is available worldwide and can provide directories all over the world. Yelp is exclusively available in the USA and in countries like UK, Germany and Canada. So Yelp can be used in these places since it has gained much popularity in these countries, especially the USA with a shocking number of 105.6 million users per month. To get better reviews and ratings, Google is much more appropriate.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” bg_color=”#0071ce” scene_position=”center” text_color=”light” text_align=”left” top_padding=”3%” bottom_padding=”3%” color_overlay=”#0071ce” overlay_strength=”0.5″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/6″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_position=”left-right” centered_text=”true” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”2\/3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_custom_heading text=”Local SEO Tool” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:45|text_align:center|line_height:52px” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css_animation=”fadeInUp”] Yes! This American Multinational company has its maximum users from its root country with an astounding number of 105 .6 million monthly users. Other than that it has users in Canada, UK and Germany. Although the statistics are not fairly close to that of US. Yelp also has users from Australia, Belgium, Austria, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Italy, Poland, Turkey, Switzerland, Singapore, and The Netherlands as well. But the percentage of yelp users in these countries is substantially very low.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text] Advertising is the key to building a vast organisation. Restaurant Business advertising on Yelp depends on many factors. It depends where you put up and what is the percentage of Yelp Users are there in that area. US have the highest amount of Yelp users not closely followed by the UK, Canada and Germany. It exists in other countries as well, but the percentage is disappointingly low. In Asian countries existence of Yelp is close to 0.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1520500505986{margin-top: 5px !important;margin-bottom: 5px !important;}”]\n Instead of advertising on a paid website, it would be more efficient to try out other means like most commonly and widely used social media. Because it is available all over the world and frankly it will allow you to reach a wider audience. Yelp would surely help to get reviews, and you should be prepared for all the negative comments that pour in, because without being said that you\u2019ll surely enjoy the positive comment but need the strength to accept and face criticism. Yelp helps you to actively respond to all the reviews as stated by Marty Twelves. But I highly doubt it will be worth the money and effort.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” bg_color=”#ffffff” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” bottom_padding=”1%” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_custom_heading text=”9.

A business can get a listing on one or many of such directories to reach out to as many people and customers they can. It is possible to make money from a local business directory website<\/strong> especially if you put up in a small town; it will be easy to set up a directory and list all the businesses of that area. And as Brian Madison said, niche site would be easier to SEO, so there\u2019s that. You can earn money through ads on your directories and by offering paid listings. Some sites do offer free listings too. Many small businesses also find it harder to manage a website, so creating a directory for this kind of business would help you as well contribute to the promotion of the business.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1520500699525{margin-top: 5px !important;margin-bottom: 5px !important;}”]\n Also be creative!
