Local Citation Building FAQS
Do citations help with local SEO?
Local citation building helps your local search ranking because it ensures you’ve got consistent data about your business throughout the internet. When internet users complete local searches, it is crucial to ensure that your business information is present in a variety of business directories and local business listings.
Is NAP data critical for local SEO?
It will not appear high in SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages) if your business’ website does not appear consistent with search engine bots. Having consistent NAP data (name, address, and phone number) increases legitimacy and improves local search visibility.
How do I provide the necessary information?
This service requires you to provide us with your business name, address, and phone number, among other details. Additionally, please provide the URL of your website and a short description of your business. Your NAP data must be consistent and accurate, so you must provide this information.
Does NAP information appear in all citations?
If you place an order, we will ask you to fill out all the fields we require for constant NAP information, and we will submit your information exactly how you ordered it.
Do I have to resubmit my listing if I am already listed?
At SEO Crowd, we ensure that your business will never have duplicated listings across all of the 100+ directories within our directory management service. We check for any listings you might already have in place before filing down payments for new citations. On some occasions, you may find that some or all of your business details are already listed in one or more online directories since we want to make sure every listing is fresh and relevant as far as style, location, etc. There might be some overlap between duplicate listings and those we’re filing down payments for with our local citation service; this is why it’s important to be aware of which online directories you already belong to so you can avoid paying for duplicate listings.
When I finish my listings, will I be able to see all of them?
Definitely. At the final stage, our team will take screenshots of every single local directory submission so you can remain confident that your listing has been submitted. You will have a CSV file of all data
Will there be an abundance of live placements?
On average, 25% of local directory submissions will result in instant live listings and you will be able to confirm that through our live submission report. Directory rules can greatly impact the time it takes for a business listing to get approved or not. In some cases, directories may also request that they verify business details with the owner via phone, email, or letter which can delay any addition of a business listing to the directory. We cannot guarantee the availability of live listings because there are so many variables at play thereby forcing us to take a hardline policy when it comes to refunds for delayed additions where we do not refund deposits unless there have been extenuating circumstances beyond our control and even then we are forced to set limits on these as well due to fees incurred by some payment processors which is why we only offer up to 14 days.
Are the directories approved?
Some directories will probably call your business number to verify that the listing is accurate and up-to-date. This usually happens only when an agency’s submission is not instantly approved. It’s best to let your clients know this too so they are not worried if they do receive a call or an email later on. It could simply just be a follow-up check to confirm that the listing information is correct or if there have been any changes in contact details.
What program are you using to create the listings?
We build local citations manually, and if the website won’t accept our submission, we screenshot the submission page for each report. As part of our citation building strategy, we search Google and Yahoo directories, press releases, directories, web 2.0s, and the local business listings.
Which directories allow linking to websites?
The value of our citation service is you will be able to ensure that your current Google+ page listing, Facebook page/location, and Twitter listing will all have consistent and verified listings for your business. This means that it’s very important to us to make sure we use do-follow links on these citations so that Google knows who we are talking about when they see a citation with the same NAP information. As Google may be using this information specifically to verify the NAP of a business, it’s in our best interest as citation writers, who know how to incorporate business reputation management into every single one of their services, that these citations are verified.
