Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about our citation services.
What are citations and why are they important for my business?
Citations are online mentions of your business that include your name, address, and phone number (NAP). They're important because they help search engines verify your business information, which improves your local search rankings. Consistent citations across the web also help customers find accurate information about your business, increasing trust and reducing confusion.
How many citations does my business need?
The number of citations your business needs depends on your industry and local competition. Generally, we recommend securing citations on 30-50 high-quality directories and platforms relevant to your business and location. Quality is more important than quantity—citations on authoritative sites specific to your industry or location in New Jersey will have a greater impact than numerous citations on low-quality directories.
How long does it take to see results from citation building?
Most businesses begin to see improvements in local search visibility within 4-8 weeks after implementing our citation services. However, the full impact typically becomes apparent after 3-4 months as search engines index and process the new citations. We provide regular progress reports so you can track the growth of your citation profile.
What if my business has incorrect citations already?
Our citation services include a thorough audit to identify and correct existing inaccurate or inconsistent citations. We'll work to update or remove incorrect listings and ensure that all new and existing citations contain accurate, consistent information. This citation cleanup process is crucial for maximizing the effectiveness of your local SEO efforts.
Do I need citations if I already have a Google Business Profile?
Yes, absolutely. While a Google Business Profile is essential for local SEO, citations on other platforms complement and reinforce your GBP listing. Citations from various authoritative sources signal to search engines that your business is legitimate and established, which can significantly improve your local search rankings beyond what a GBP listing alone can achieve.
