Google and local search
A citation is a mention of the business. It only helps if the name, address, and phone match.
Mismatched Yelp, Facebook, and the site split the entity. Paid citation blasts are often junk. We will not run a directory mill for $12. Someone offered 500 citations for $49 after they published a slug. If it looks like a scheme, it is. Same rule as spam backlinks.
Put the same name, address, and phone on Google Business Profile, the Bizzit site, and any directory you actually use. Do not buy a citation blast. Do not invent extra suites.Pro is $12 a month. Citations are not a Bizzit SKU.
Who this is for
Someone offered 500 citations for $49 after they published a slug. If that is not you, a different Bizzit guide will fit better, do not force this URL.
The actual answer
Mismatched Yelp, Facebook, and the site split the entity. Paid citation blasts are often junk. We will not run a directory mill for $12. If it looks like a scheme, it is. Same rule as spam backlinks. The short version is still the one in the box at the top of this page. The rest of the article exists so you do not have to guess the limits.
Do this in order
NAP first. Then claim the few profiles you will actually log into.
- Lock NAP with the formatter
- Claim GBP
- Update the directories you actually use
- Skip the 500-pack email
- Fix mismatches when you move
What not to do
Do not create duplicate listings to "own more of the SERP." Do not doorway. That is the usual way a useful page turns into a doorway, a fake comparison, or a brief Cipher cannot honor.
How this shows up on Bizzit
We host the page directories should copy. We do not submit you to 400 sites.
Fewer true listings beat a dump
A Facebook page with last year's phone is worse than no Facebook page. Delete or fix. Overnight jobs will not log into Yelp for you.
Limits
Do not create duplicate listings to "own more of the SERP." Do not doorway.
Limits and caveats
Do not create duplicate listings to "own more of the SERP." Do not doorway.
If a sentence would require a competitor SKU we have not verified, or a statistic we did not measure, it does not belong here.
What to do after you read this
If this page answered the query, open Create with the nouns from your own business, not a slogan. If it did not, you are probably in the wrong cluster: go back to the blog hub or Google and local search. Do not spin a second URL for a synonym. One intent per page is the whole point of this library.
Tools that actually do this job
These are public pages. Use them when the job is this job. They are not a second product you have to buy.
Questions people actually ask
Is Apple Maps a citation?
It is another profile to keep consistent if you use it. Follow their tools. We do not invent their SKU.
Data aggregators?
Follow Google's help. We will not sell a submission package we cannot prove.
Rankings?
Not a product we sell. Hygiene is the work.
When the domain changes?
Update the website field everywhere after Pro is live and 200.
