What Are Local Citations and Why Do They Matter for SEO?
A local citation is any online mention of your business's Name, Address, and Phone number (NAP) on a website, directory, or platform other than your own. Citations appear on business directories like Yelp, Yellow Pages, and BBB, on social platforms like Facebook and LinkedIn, on map services like Google Maps and Apple Maps, and on industry-specific sites like TripAdvisor, Zillow, or Healthgrades. Search engines — especially Google — use these citations as trust signals to verify that your business exists, is legitimate, and is located where it claims to be.
According to Moz's Local Search Ranking Factors, citation signals account for approximately 13% of the local pack algorithm. This includes citation volume (how many directories list you), NAP consistency (whether your business information matches across all sources), and citation quality (whether you're on authoritative, relevant platforms). Businesses with more consistent, higher-quality citations consistently outrank those with fewer or inconsistent citations in the Google Local Pack and Google Maps results.
Our free local SEO citation checker scans 110 of the most important directories, data aggregators, social platforms, maps, and review sites to show you exactly where your business is listed and where it's missing. Pro users can unlock our premium citation database — an additional 110 exclusive directories spanning niche business networks, regional directories, and specialized listing platforms. Combined, that's 220 directories total for the most comprehensive citation audit available. This gives you a clear action plan for building new citations and fixing existing ones — the foundation of any effective local SEO strategy.
