Inconsistent Listings Are Killing Your Local Rankings

Every time your business name, address, or phone number appears differently across the web, it creates confusion — not just for customers, but for search engines. Google cross-references your NAP data across hundreds of sources to verify your business. When it finds mismatches — an old phone number here, a misspelled street name there — it loses confidence in your listing.

That uncertainty translates directly to lower local rankings. Citation building isn’t just about being listed in more places. It’s about being listed consistently and accurately everywhere that matters.

NAP consistency is one of Google’s top local ranking factors.

Businesses with consistent citations across 40+ directories rank significantly higher in the local pack.

Frequently asked questions

The specific directories depend on your industry and location, but every package includes core directories (Google, Yelp, BBB, Yellow Pages), data aggregators (Foursquare, Data Axle, Localeze, Neustar), and industry-specific platforms relevant to your business. We prioritize directories by domain authority and relevance.

We create full listings — business name, address, phone, website, hours, categories, description, and photos where the platform allows it. Every listing is optimized, not just a basic NAP submission.

You receive a spreadsheet with every directory name, the URL of your live listing, login credentials (where applicable), and submission status. You own this data and can update listings yourself anytime.

Before we submit new listings, we scan for existing duplicates. Any duplicates found are flagged in your report with instructions for claiming, merging, or requesting removal. This is included in every package.

Citations are a long-term ranking signal. Most businesses see local ranking improvements within 4-8 weeks as directories index the new listings and data aggregators propagate your info. The impact compounds over time as consistency builds across more sources.
