Building New Citations

Now that you’ve claimed your business pages and have corrected any inaccurate listings you found, it’s high time you started building new citations.

To help build a brand-new citation, you can start with the list of data aggregators mentioned earlier. Besides this, you can search for industry-specific or location-specific directories, or search for your competitors to find out the citation sources that list their businesses.

But before you go on putting your Business’s NAP on every directory, have it in mind that some are going to be more valuable than others.

Besides that, while you want customers to be able to find you in any directory they used to search, you probably won't have the time to create citations for every directory out there.

Also remember to aim for quality, instead of quantity, with your citations. Make sure your business is listed on the important websites mentioned earlier, rather than going for a huge quantity of citations.

Therefore, stick to the most common sites that customers use to find you.

If your Yelp business page is not optimized with photos, accurate and up-to-date information, you will potentially lose out on customers.
