What Local Citations & Directory Listings does for you
Local citations are online references to your business name, address and phone number, often called NAP. Consistent details make it easier for customers and search platforms to identify your business. We audit existing listings, correct avoidable inconsistencies and submit your approved information to relevant directories.

Our directory work includes Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business), Yellow Pages (YP.com), Bing Places, Apple Business Connect, Yelp and other platforms that fit your business and location. Pair citations with our local SEO service and Google Business Profile management for broader local search support.
Sound familiar?
The problems we hear every week
Your business details differ between directories
Old phone numbers, former addresses and inconsistent business names can confuse customers. We create one approved business-information sheet before making submissions or corrections.
Duplicate listings compete with the correct one
Multiple versions of the same business can split information and reviews. We document duplicates and use each platform's available correction, merge or removal process.
Old listings still appear after a business change
Moves, rebrands and phone changes leave outdated references across the web. We prioritize the listings customers are most likely to encounter and update the details each platform allows.
Nobody knows where your business is listed
Without a record, directories are submitted twice or left with old credentials. We keep a clear submission report with platform names, status and available listing links.
Illustration
What's included
Everything the service covers
Citation audit and NAP sheet
We review existing listings and confirm your current business name, address or service-area settings, phone, website, hours and categories with you.
Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business)
We help create, claim or correct your Google listing using accurate business information. Google decides whether a profile is eligible, verified or published.
Yellow Pages (YP.com)
We submit or update your approved business details on Yellow Pages and record the submission status in your citation report.
Bing Places for Business
We help establish or correct your Bing Places listing so your approved details are available to Microsoft's local search experiences.
Apple Business Connect
We submit eligible business information to Apple Business Connect for consideration across Apple Maps and related Apple services.
Yelp for Business
We help claim or update your Yelp business listing with consistent contact details, categories, hours and website information where supported.
Facebook business presence
We align your Facebook business information with the approved NAP sheet so customers see consistent details across another major discovery platform.
Better Business Bureau
Where your business is eligible and the platform is relevant, we submit or update basic directory information. BBB accreditation is separate and is never implied or guaranteed.
Angi and home-service directories
For qualifying contractors and home-service businesses, we submit relevant profiles and correct existing information where the platform permits.
Nextdoor and community directories
Where available and appropriate, we help establish a consistent local business presence on Nextdoor and relevant community platforms.
Industry and local directories
We select additional directories based on your trade, market and eligibility rather than submitting every business to the same bulk list.
Submission and cleanup report
You receive a record of the directories addressed, submitted details, available listing URLs and items that need platform review or your action.

Austin experience, applied nationwide
Our Austin, Texas team manages citation building for businesses across all 50 states. We adapt directory selections to your industry, market and business model, including storefronts and eligible service-area businesses.
01What are local citations?+
Local citations are online mentions of your business details, commonly your name, address and phone number. They appear on platforms such as Google Business Profile, Yellow Pages, Bing Places, Apple Business Connect, Yelp and industry directories.
02Do you submit listings to Google My Business and Yellow Pages?+
Yes. Google My Business is now called Google Business Profile, and we help create, claim or correct eligible profiles. We also submit or update Yellow Pages listings using the business information you approve.
03Which other directories do you submit to?+
Our core list includes Bing Places, Apple Business Connect, Yelp, Facebook and, where relevant and eligible, BBB, Angi and Nextdoor. We also select industry and local directories based on your business rather than using one fixed bulk package.
04Will every directory submission go live?+
Not necessarily. Each platform controls its own eligibility, verification, review and publication process. We report pending, rejected or action-required submissions honestly and never mark a listing as live until we can confirm it.
05Do citations guarantee higher Google rankings?+
No. Citations are one part of a broader local search presence, and Google controls rankings. We focus on accurate, relevant listings without promising a position, lead volume or business outcome.
06How does Performance-Backed Billing work?+
For an SEO campaign covered by the policy, if up to 5 keywords agreed in writing aren't on page one or in the Map Pack top 3 after 6 months, SEO billing pauses until they are. Terms apply. It is a billing policy, not a ranking guarantee.
07Can you help a business without a public storefront?+
Yes, where the platform supports eligible service-area businesses. We follow each platform's rules for address display and never invent a location or publish an address you need kept private.
