Ensure business listings are accurate across the web with local listing services & management

Business listings that are inconsistent can easily spread on the web through major online directories like a disease which directly impacts search engines that are in control of all local search results. The fact is, 40% of local business listings are littered with errors and 73% of consumers quickly lose trust in brands with incorrect business listings (Search Engine Land).

Would you like to take a guess at where those consumers end up going instead of your business? Well, you are correct – they head straight to your competitors because they are more discoverable.

We start with a full citation audit

When starting a local business listings campaign, the first step is always a full citation audit. This will allow us to see exactly where your business citations are currently, correct citations, incorrect citations and more.

The most critical part of any Local SEO campaign is to ensure consistency, which is why every single campaign we provide begins with a full business listings audit.

Without this crucial first step (that most cheap competitors skip), you’d be throwing money straight down the drain. We will not let that happen.

Every campaign is put through this detailed, time-intensive process. We catalog correct and incorrect citations, circumventing any duplication of efforts.

This process results in a complete report full of details, most importantly, a clear road map on how to repair incorrect citations in the most effective way.

Let Ascendance provide the best citation audit and get your business listings where they need to be so you can enjoy the benefits!

The Best Citation Audit

Before we begin creating any local listing citations, we always check to see what already exists online for your business.

This helps make sure we’re not duplicating any listings that are already correct, and also let’s us know if there are any incorrect or inconsistent business listings online that can hurt your ability to rank!

With the Business Listing audit, we’ll manually scrub the web to find exactly where your business stands and deliver you a beautiful transparent report with:

Citation Audit Report

All NAP Variations: We manually find all the different variations of your current citations profile (if any) and determine what may be hurting your local rankings.

Existing Correct Citations: We’ll also show you where you have business citations that are correct.

Incorrect Citations: We’ll then show where you have incorrect business citations that need to be fixed, if any.

Aggregator Citations: We’ll check all the crucial aggregators and let you know if any of them have incorrect data.

Local Citations Building

Local directory citations are the bread and butter of local SEO.

With our careful, manual submissions, we ensure your business is in the BEST directories for your niche and market.

This is not simply a standard list of business directories. Every individual campaign is unique and we leverage 3 local citation strategies for determining which business directories to submit to for each particular client.

Local Citations Strategy & Execution

Local Citation Strategies

Strategy 1: Ego directories – The most popular, traffic dense, authority directories.
Strategy 2: Competitor directories – We take your specific keywords and find out what citations are important for your industry as well as your specific SERPs. (search engine results pages)
Strategy 3: Competitor review directories – We scrape competitor review directories to find Google’s most trusted directories.

Local Citation Execution

We claim all the most valuable directories where possible, and provide detailed step-by-step instructions for all others that need to be verified by you (some require a phone call for verification or other methods). We provide a transparent report with all login info.

We’ll execute 2 rounds of manual outreach to build the citations. If there are citations that don’t reply back to our 2 rounds of manual outreach, we will provide you with the email logins we created if you’d like to carry on with the creation process.

Citation Audit

Every order begins with a complete audit of ALL existing citations. We don’t just fix a standard list of sites, we actually audit your ENTIRE citation profile and find every single incorrect citation online and document it.

Manual Outreach

Since every citation source is different, we crafted an internal Standard Operating Procedure for each citation site so we know the best protocol for correcting your citations. We run 2 rounds of manual outreach via email and create an email on your behalf to document all communications.

Correct Citations

Using the information you provide us, we update all citations we have access to. We then manually reach out via email to the rest of the directories and submit requests on your behalf to have the information on each directory be consistent with your correct NAP.This definitely a process, but worth it!

Deliver Report

In the end, we will provide a complete and transparent report with all the citations that we corrected, along with any parting recommendations that you can do personally for your citation profile moving forward.

Why Citation Remediation?

After reviewing 1000’s of Local SEO Campaigns, we’ve the same tings time and time again: The largest factor that holds businesses back from getting amazing results in local SEO is having incorrect or inconsistent citations. This is the #3 negative ranking factor according to David Mihms (SEOMoz) most recent ranking factors survey.

This can happen for numerous reasons:

  • You move and get a new address
  • You get a new phone number
  • You have variations of your name
  • Aggregators simply pick up incorrect information on your business and show the incorrect NAP.

This often results in big problems and immobilized rankings. Every citation you have is a “vote” for your business to rank higher.

If your votes are going to contrasting NAP combinations, it is not possible to collect the juice needed to rank higher

These must be fixed, and Ascendance is going to do it for you!
