Online Citations (aka local business listings) are a key part of local search optimization. A citation is a mention of your business on a third-party website – typically a local business directory, event site, and industry/niche directory or review site. These mentions contain your Business Name, Address and Phone Number (also known together as NAP) but the listing can (and should) contain many more details about your business, like a description of your products or services, business hours, types of payments accepted, images, etc.
Having lots of citations that all display the exact same, accurate info about your business can help improve your ranking in local search results. Accuracy and ‘quality’ of your citation listings is considered the most important citation factor — sheer quantity has value but is trumped by quality (see our Expert Citation Survey Results). Keep in mind that not all citation sites are equal in the eyes of Google, Bing Places and Yahoo! At DentalHook we make sure that you only work with and get listed on quality citation sites.
Cleaning up inaccurate data, merging duplicate listings, and creating new listings is a critical part of local search optimization.
