Local citation building: your business, listed right everywhere it matters.

Citations are listings of your business name, address and phone on sites like Bing Places, Apple Business Connect, Yelp and industry directories. We find the ones that are missing or wrong, fix them, and keep them the same as your Google profile. Software from $39 a month, or we do the work.

Why listings still matter

Google, Apple Maps and AI assistants compare what different sites say about your business. When the details match, you're a clearer, more trusted answer. When they don't, you're easier to skip.

What we find most often

  • Not listed on Bing Places or Apple Business Connect
  • Old addresses or phone numbers on directories
  • Different versions of your business name across sites
  • Duplicate listings for the same business
  • Missing from the main directories for your industry

Start with the listings that matter most

Your Google Business Profile comes first. Then Bing Places, which feeds Bing and Copilot, and Apple Business Connect, which feeds Apple Maps and Siri. Then the main directories for your industry and your area.

More listings isn't better. A few accurate, relevant listings beat hundreds of low-quality ones.

Make every listing match

We use one exact version of your name, address, phone, hours and website everywhere, matching your Google profile. Then we find and fix the listings that disagree, and close duplicates.

Listings feed AI assistants too

AI assistants often build their answers from directories and listing sites. Accurate listings on the sites they read make it more likely they get your details right.

How it works

  1. 1Scan

    We map your rank across your service area for the searches that matter in your trade, audit your website and Google profile, and check what AI assistants say about you.

  2. 2Plan

    You get one list of fixes, ranked by impact, in plain English.

  3. 3Fix

    Work through the list yourself in the app, or we update your profile, pages, listings and review process for you.

  4. 4Re-measure

    We check the same map points again, so every change is compared like for like.

How fast things move depends on your market and your competitors. What doesn't change: every fix shows up on your map, measured from the same points each time, so you see what moved and when.

Do it yourself, or hand it to us.

Questions we hear

What is a local citation?

Any mention of your business name, address and phone on another website, usually a directory or listing site like Yelp, Bing Places or an industry directory.

Do citations still help rankings?

They matter most for accuracy and trust. The main ones confirm your details for Google, Apple Maps and AI assistants. Piling up hundreds of low-quality listings doesn't help.

Do you work with businesses outside Maryland?

Yes. The app works for businesses anywhere in the US, and done-for-you work is done remotely, with everything visible in your dashboard. We're based in Germantown, Maryland.

How fast will I see more calls?

It depends on your market and your competitors, and Google says no one can pay for a better ranking. What you get is proof: you see the change on your map, measured from the same points every time.
