🔗 Citation Building

Citation building for renewable energy installers

Consistent business listings across directories tell Google you are a legitimate, established local business. Essential for local rankings.

Overview

What's involved

A citation is any online mention of your business name, address and phone number (NAP). Consistent citations across authoritative directories are a key signal in Google's local ranking algorithm — they tell Google that your business is real, established and located where you say it is.

Most installer websites have inconsistent or incomplete citations — wrong phone numbers on some directories, old addresses on others, missing from key directories entirely. We fix all of this.

🔍

Citation audit

We first audit your existing citations — finding inconsistencies, duplicates and gaps across all major directories.

✏️

NAP correction

Every inconsistency corrected — ensuring your business name, address and phone number are identical across every listing.

New citation building

Your business listed on every relevant directory — Yell, Thomson Local, Bing Places, Apple Maps, trade directories and local business directories.

Quality over quantity

We focus on authoritative, relevant directories — not hundreds of low-quality spam directories that can hurt more than help.

🔄

Ongoing monitoring

New citations appear and existing ones change. We monitor and maintain your citation profile as part of monthly management.

Questions

Common questions

How many citations do I need?
Quality matters more than quantity. Being listed accurately on 30 to 50 authoritative directories is more valuable than being listed on 200 low-quality ones.
How long does citation building take to affect rankings?
Citation building is a slower-moving ranking signal than GBP optimisation. Expect to see its impact over 2 to 4 months as directories index your listings.
What if I've moved address?
Old address citations are a common problem and actively hurt local rankings. We find and correct them as part of the citation audit — this is often one of the most impactful quick fixes we make.
