Service · Citations & listings
Citations and listings for commercial contractors
A citation is any place on the web that lists your business name, address and phone number: directories, map platforms, data aggregators, trade associations. Google and every AI engine cross-check you against them. If the details differ from one listing to the next, trust leaks, and the machines are not sure you are one business. We find every listing, fix every mismatch and fill the gaps that matter for your trade.
Foundations
One identity, everywhere the machines look.
Who it is for
Who this is for, and who it is not for.
- You have moved, changed your phone number or renamed the company, and the old details are still out there.
- Your name is spelled three different ways across directories.
- You have duplicate Google or Yelp listings.
- You are starting local SEO or AI search work and want the foundation right first.
- Anyone who wants hundreds of junk directory listings. Volume does not help; consistency does.
- Residential-only companies.
- Businesses that cannot settle on one exact name, address and phone. We need one record to copy everywhere.
The service
What is included.
- ✓Listing audit — every place your business appears today, with what is wrong on each
- ✓One canonical record — exact name, address, phone, hours, categories and website, agreed with you once
- ✓Core platforms — Google Business Profile, Bing Places, Apple Business Connect and Yelp matched character for character
- ✓Data aggregators — the sources that feed hundreds of smaller sites and the AI engines, corrected at the source
- ✓Trade and local listings — the associations, supplier directories and local sites that matter for your trade and your area
- ✓Duplicate removal — duplicate listings merged or closed so reviews and rankings are not split
- ✓Quarterly re-check — listings drift; we re-scan every quarter and fix what moved
- ✓Your logins — every listing claimed in your name, with the logins handed to you
How it works
How it works, week by week.
Find every listing
A scan of where you appear and what each listing says. You confirm the one correct record.
Correct the core and the aggregators
Google, Bing, Apple, Yelp and the data aggregators corrected; duplicates merged or closed.
Add what matters for your trade
Trade associations, supplier directories and local sites that count for your trade and area.
Catch the drift
Re-scan every quarter. Fix what moved. Report what changed.
What it costs
Pricing follows the audit.
What this costs depends on your market, how many cities you serve and which services you take. We do not publish a price list and we do not quote before we have looked. The free visibility audit comes first; it shows what needs doing, and the quote follows from that. Ask about pricing through the same form.
Straight answers
Questions owners actually ask.
Are citations still worth doing?
Yes, as a foundation. They matter less for ranking than they did ten years ago, and more for AI engines, which license directory data and cross-check it. Wrong or inconsistent listings make the machines unsure you are one business.
How many listings do we need?
The ones that matter for your trade and your area, not hundreds of junk directories. The core platforms, the data aggregators, and the trade and local listings a buyer or an engine would actually read.
We moved offices. What now?
Every listing gets the new address, the old one is closed or redirected, and Google is told about the move properly so you keep your reviews and history.
Do you use a listings service?
Where it helps, yes, for the aggregators. Everything that matters we claim and fix by hand, in your name, so it does not disappear if a subscription ends.
