## What this tool does
Citations are simply mentions of your business details on other sites. They matter less than they did a decade ago and are still worth having correct, mostly because the wrong ones actively cost you.

The useful output is not a count. It is the list of places where your details are wrong, because those are sending real people to an old address or a disconnected number.

## How to use it
1

Enter your correct details first. Decide the right version before checking.

2

Run the check across the directories that matter in your sector.

3

Fix wrong listings before chasing missing ones.

4

Recheck later. Directories copy from each other, and errors return.

### Worth knowing
Chasing a higher citation count is mostly wasted effort. Correcting the listings that contradict you is not, and it is usually a much shorter list.

## Questions

### How many citations do I need?
There is no number. Being correct on the ones people use beats being present on hundreds nobody visits.

### Do citations still help rankings?
Less than they once did. Consistency still matters, and wrong details still cost you customers directly.

### Should I buy a citation building service?
Be careful. Bulk submissions to low quality directories create work later and rarely produce anything worth having.
