11. Building online “votes” for your business
CITATION BUILDING
A citation is like a “vote” for your business when
Google crawls other websites and finds your
business name, address and phone number (NAP).
The more “votes” Google finds, compared to your
competitors, is part of Google’s decision making
process to determine which website is ranked
higher in search results.
Each month our Local Search Specialists generate a report with the your
current local search ranking position and total Google citation count.
From that report, we evaluate the top ten competitors in your market
and analyze their citation profiles. We then add your business profile
to the search portals where your competitors are found and many more
where they are not.

running my business rather than figuring out how to do it myself.”

presence and now we are on the first page of Google.”
