Local Citation Cleanup

Why Citation Remediation?

After reviewing 100’s of Local SEO Campaigns, we’ve seen it time and time again: The biggest factor that holds you back from getting awesome results in local is having incorrect or inconsistent citations. This is the #3 negative ranking factor according to David from SEOMoz most recent ranking factors survey.

This happens for a number of reasons:

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

This can result in big problems and unmovable rankings. Each citation you have is a “vote” for you to rank higher. If these votes are going to different NAP combinations, there’s no way you can collect the juice you need to rank higher

These need to be fixed, and we are going to do it for you!
