What Are Local Citations and Why They Matter
Local citations are online mentions of your business name, address, and phone number (NAP) across various business directories, websites, and platforms. These citations serve as crucial trust signals for search engines like Google, helping establish your business's credibility and local relevance.
Citation consistency across all platforms is essential for effective local SEO. When search engines find consistent NAP information across multiple business directories, they gain confidence in your business's legitimacy and are more likely to display your business in local search results and Google Maps.
Citations impact your local search optimization by influencing ranking factors such as proximity, relevance, and prominence. Businesses with more accurate and consistent citations typically rank higher in local search results, leading to increased visibility and customer acquisition.
