Local citations are multiple consistent mentions of your business information on website directories and other properties found on the internet. Search engines such as Google use these mentions as a trust signal, and consistent NAP citations of your business will help you to rank higher within local search results.

With our Citation Building service, we manually submit your business info to trusted local business directories to ensure that accurate and consistent data relating to your business can be found easily online. Citation services are particularly beneficial for local businesses with a physical location who are looking to improve their local SEO.

Local citation building is great for local rankings because it helps to ensure that consistent data relating to your business can be found across the internet. Having accurate business information spread across a magnitude of business directories and local business listings help to ensure that internet users will be able to find your business when completing local searches.

If your website doesn’t seem authentic to search engine bots, you won’t be prioritised in the SERPs. Consistent NAP data (name, address and phone number) boost legitimacy and improves your online visibility for local searches.

For this service, we require all of your basic business information such as your business Name, Address and Phone Number. We also need your website URL and a short description summarising your business. You must provide this information so that we can ensure that your NAP data is consistent and accurate.

Yes, when placing your order you’ll be requested to complete all the fields we require for constant NAP information and we’ll submit it exactly as you order.

Our production team ensures that we’ll never duplicate citation listings by checking for your business details in each directory before we submit them. Sometimes your business will already have listings in some of the 100 directories on our approved list. If this is the case, as part of our local citation service, we’ll provide a partial refund for the amount we can’t do.

Yes. Our citation building team will screenshot every single local directory submission at the final stage so you have peace of mind knowing your citation has been submitted. This report will be accessible from the order in your dashboard and you can download an unbranded white label CSV report.

Upon completion, you can expect around 25% of the local directory submissions to result in instant live listings. Different business directories will have different rules regarding acceptance and you may be subject to a longer review process which may also include the directory verifying business details with the owners via phone, email, or letter. This will of course increase the length of time a placement may get accepted and will also require the full cooperation of the business owner (i.e you or your client). We simply don’t guarantee all submissions will result in a live placement because of these variables but we do provide you with a full submission report which shows screenshots of any submission that may not have resulted in an instant live placement.

Currently, no. We provide all the login information we used to create your listing account in your report. You can then access and make any changes you need to.

We can build citations in the UK, US, Australia, and Canada.

Some directories will probably want to verify your listing by calling your business number or emailing your email account at a later date. These submissions are usually the ones that are not instantly approved. For agencies, it’s advisable to let your clients know this so if they do receive a call, it’s usually simply just to verify the business exists and the information is correct about them.

Not all citations allow website links (less than 50%) and the ones that do may be nofollow. The value of this service is ensuring a consistent NAP mention of your business as search engines may use this to verify the location of a business.

Our local citation building service is completely manual, and for websites that don’t auto accept we take a screenshot of the submission page to show the submission on your report.

Expect sites like Yelp, FourSquare, HotFrog, Scoot, and Brownbook. See more examples above!

We guarantee that 25% will be indexed within two weeks as a minimum with natural pick-up and additional indexing over time beyond that. We do expect that all citations can index and only work with healthily-indexing directories, but due to natural variances some may take longer to be picked up.

Our Blog Content Plan service will provide you with up to 2 years’ worth of ready-to-write blog post briefs.

Simply give us your website or some overarching topics you’d like to cover, and we’ll conduct thorough keyword research and competitor analysis.

We’ll intelligently cluster similar keywords together and create ‘topics’ that can be covered in a blog post. For each blog post topic, we’ll give you an SEO-optimized title, the suggested word count, a suggested brief, and secondary semantic keywords.

The plan is designed to be ready to pass directly to your writing team.

Without a content strategy, you could be writing the wrong topics. Without a content strategy, you can’t project your traffic out into the future. Without a content strategy, you’re forced to come up with new ideas every week.

With our Blog Content Plan, you have an exhaustive list of topics that will solidify your topical authority in your niche. We ensure you have a breadth of topics to write about that cover all parts of the funnel from top to bottom.

You’ll see the traffic potential and keyword difficulties to prioritize the topics you want to attack first. You can use the traffic potentials to project out an estimate for your traffic increases years into the future.

In each Blog Content Plan, you’ll receive up to 100 topics, completely ready to hand to your writing team.

Each blog topic will include the following:

• An SEO optimized title

• Topic search volume potential

• Suggested word count

• Keyword difficulty

• Secondary semantic keywords

• A structured content brief

You’ll only need to tell us your website or a few seed topics you’d like to go deeper on. It’s your call.

If you have a completely new website and need to go broad on all topics, we will comprehensively cover all subtopics. If you have an existing blog and want to go deeper on one particular topic, you can give us 1-5 seed keywords.

It can also help to provide details about your client’s target audience, but the simpler and more specific your seed keywords are, the better the results will be. For example, “content marketing” is a clear topic that can then be broken down into blog topic suggestions.

You can use this white-label content strategy to give your writers a plan for the next 2 years’ worth of blogs (yes, up to 100 topics!).

You can use this to get an exhaustive ‘topic menu’ to give your client the choice of which topics they’d like you to get written.

An SEO content strategy should be comprehensive, covering as many potential angles as possible.

It’s possible we will include topics you don’t feel are relevant to your client’s business goals or their target audience. In some cases, we may include topics you’ve already written about, but with Pro orders, we check for duplicated keywords (cannibalization) to ensure we aren’t targeting keywords you already rank for.

It’s best to review the topics or have your client review them before handing them over to be written, and remember to treat this document as a ‘menu’ of blog ideas.

Sure! Our Blog Content Plan is built specifically to be resold as your own content strategy service. Each report is completely white label so your clients will never know that we were involved!
