Discover and Build High-Quality Citations to Boost Your Local Online Presence
When it comes to improving your local SEO, one of the most effective strategies is ensuring your business is listed in relevant online directories and websites.
These mentions, known as “citations,” help search engines recognize the legitimacy and relevance of your business, giving it a better chance of appearing in local search results.
At SBO, we understand how crucial it is to establish a strong local presence, which is why we’ve developed our Local Citation Finder tool.
This tool is designed to help you identify valuable citation opportunities and build a strong foundation for your local SEO.
What is a Local Citation?
A local citation is any online mention of your business’s name, address, and phone number (NAP).
Citations can appear on websites, local business directories, social media platforms, and even blogs.
These listings act as signals to search engines like Google, confirming your business’s presence and relevance within a specific location.
Having accurate and consistent citations across the web is a key factor in improving your local rankings and visibility.
Why Are Citations Important for Local SEO?
Citations play a pivotal role in local SEO for several reasons.
First, they help search engines verify the accuracy of your business information, which can lead to better search rankings.
Second, they contribute to the trustworthiness of your business. When search engines see that your NAP is consistently mentioned on high-quality websites, they perceive your business as more reliable.
Finally, citations also create opportunities for customers to find your business when searching for relevant products or services nearby.
For businesses in competitive industries or new to the local market, building a strong citation profile is an excellent way to enhance online visibility and build credibility.
However, manually searching for citation opportunities can be time-consuming and tedious.
That’s where the Local Citation Finder tool comes in.

How to use Local Citation Finder:
First understanding what a citation is important. A citation is when another website has a listing for your website on it.
Getting multiple citations will help you pop up higher when people search terms like “x business near me”. For example “Plummers near me”.
After you have listed your website on Google Business Profile please do the following.
1. Go through the list of citations, starting with the ones we have marked most important, and fill in your details. This needs to be a minimum of :
a. Your business name,
b. Your business location (important that every citation has exactly the same location),
c. A link to your website
2. After you have done that, mark your citation as complete using the tick box on the right of the citation on our tool.
3. Continue through the list one by one.
If you are looking for citations you think are particularly relevant you can use the categories drop down on the left at the top of the citation tool.
