The short answer

A citation is any listing of your business name, address and phone number on another site, like Yelp, Apple Maps, Bing Places or Facebook. This tool builds those listings on more than 100 directories. It finds and fixes listings with wrong details, and removes duplicates. It keeps watching after that, so a listing that gets changed or dropped is put right automatically.

What it is

What is citation management?

Your business details live in more places than you remember. Directories, map apps, industry sites. Each one is a citation, and search engines read them to confirm you are real and where you are.

Sometimes these listings do not match. One site shows an old address, another shows a phone number that no longer works. Then search engines trust your details less, and real customers call the wrong number.

By hand, this means logging into dozens of directory sites every month. The software submits the listings, corrects the wrong ones and monitors them, all from one dashboard.

02 · Fixing

Wrong details found and corrected.

The software scans your existing listings and finds the ones that are outdated or wrong. An old address, a former phone number, a misspelled name.

It then corrects the data across the directories, so every listing says the same thing your profile says.

03 · Duplicates

Extra listings removed, and kept away.

Duplicate listings divide your reviews between two pages and confuse both customers and search engines. The software removes them or hides them from view.

Removed duplicates often come back, so the software scans again every month and fixes new ones when they appear.

04 · Watching

Monitored around the clock, restored automatically.

Directories and data companies sometimes replace your correct details with old information from their own records.

The software watches for changes at all hours and puts the correct data back. If a listing gets dropped completely, it is caught and submitted again.

FAQ

Questions people ask

What is a citation?

Any listing of your business name, address and phone number on another website. Yelp, Apple Maps, Bing Places, Facebook and industry directories are all citations.

Do citations still matter for local SEO?

Yes. Matching listings help search engines trust that your details are real. Wrong ones do the opposite, and they send customers to numbers that no longer work.

Which directories does it cover?

More than 100, including Google, Bing, Yelp, Apple Maps and Facebook, plus directories specific to your industry and area.

What happens when a directory changes my details?

The monitoring catches it and restores the correct data automatically. If a listing is dropped, it gets submitted again.

Why do duplicates keep coming back?

Many directories copy their information from the same shared databases, so a duplicate you removed can appear again months later. That is why the software scans again every month.

Can agencies use this for clients?

Yes. Locations upload in bulk, everything is managed from one dashboard, and reports carry the agency brand.

An old number on a directory sends your callers nowhere.

Submit once, get corrected everywhere, and let the monitoring keep it that way. from $5.33 per location each month, three day trial.
