What broken citations actually cost you
- • Inconsistent name, address, or phone across directories Google reads to verify you
- • Missing from key directories like Yelp, BBB, Apple Maps, and Bing Places
- • Wrong or outdated info that quietly hurts your local search rankings
- • Old phone numbers and former addresses still ranking on directory pages
- • Duplicate listings competing with your real one and splitting authority
- • No realistic way to manage 50+ profiles by hand on top of running the business
What citation cleanup gets you
- • 100% NAP consistency across every directory that matters for your industry
- • Listed on every site customers actually use to find businesses like yours
- • Duplicates suppressed so they stop competing with your primary listing
- • Ongoing monitoring that catches changes before they hurt your rankings
- • A monthly report showing listing health and what was fixed

How does Directory Listings & Citation Management work?
Full Audit of Existing Listings
We scan the open web for every existing mention of your business, flag every NAP mismatch, and surface duplicates. You see exactly where your information is wrong before we touch anything.
Cleanup & Duplicate Suppression
We update every existing listing with correct, consistent information and submit duplicate suppressions through each directory's official process so old or wrong profiles stop competing with your real one.
Net-New Listings & Verification
We build out the missing listings on the directories that matter for your industry and service area. Each one is verified through phone, postcard, or email so the data sticks and the listing carries weight.
Ongoing Monitoring
We watch for unauthorized changes, drift, and new duplicates every month and fix them before they impact your rankings. You get a monthly report showing listing health and what was changed.
