Local Citation Services & Local Listing Management With Hexxen

Our local citation management process is designed to deliver optimal results for your business. We follow a systematic approach to ensure your citations are accurate, consistent, and effective in improving your local search rankings.

Our Proven Process for Local Citation Management

We offer a step-by-step approach to improve your local SEO.

Initial Consultation and Information Gathering

We start with an in-depth consultation to understand your business needs and gather essential information. This helps us create a customized citation strategy tailored to your specific goals and industry requirements.

Comprehensive Citation Audit

Next, we conduct a thorough audit of your existing citations. This audit helps us identify where your business is listed, assess the accuracy of the information, and pinpoint any discrepancies, duplicate listings, or outdated information that could negatively impact your local SEO.

Strategic Plan for Citation Building and Clean-Up

Based on the audit results, we develop a strategic plan for citation building and clean-up. This plan outlines the steps we will take to correct inaccuracies, remove duplicates, and build new, high-quality citations that enhance your local SEO performance.

Implementation and Monitoring

We then implement the strategic plan, ensuring all citation submissions are accurate and consistent. Throughout the process, we monitor your citations to identify new opportunities and make necessary adjustments to maintain accuracy and consistency.

Reporting and Analysis

Finally, we provide detailed reports and analysis of your citation performance. These reports include insights into traffic, call volume, and keyword ranking, helping you understand the impact of our citation management efforts on your local SEO strategy.


Key Local Citation Sources

Not all local listings are created equal. To maximize the impact of your local citations, it’s important to target the right sources. At Hexxen, we focus on key citation sources that provide the most value for your local SEO strategy. Here are the essential types of citation sources we leverage:

Top General Business Directories

General business directories are foundational to local SEO. These platforms have high authority and are widely recognized by both search engines and users. Key general business directories include:

  • Google My Business Citations: As the most influential platform, it significantly boosts your local search presence.
  • Bing Places for Business Citations: Microsoft’s equivalent to Google My Business, enhancing visibility on Bing.
  • Yelp Citations: A popular review site that helps build credibility and trust through customer reviews.
  • Facebook Citations: Facebook pages provide a social aspect to your business citations, reaching a broad audience.
  • Apple Maps Citations: Ensures your business is easily found by users of Apple devices.

Industry Specific Directories

Industry-specific directories are tailored to particular sectors, providing targeted exposure to your niche market. These directories enhance credibility within your industry and attract a more relevant audience. Examples include Justia for lawyers and law firms or Angie for home services.

Local Directories

Local directories focus on specific cities, regions, or localities, making them essential for boosting your presence in local searches. These directories help you connect with the community and improve your visibility among local customers. Examples include:

  • City-Specific Directories: Such as local chambers of commerce websites.
  • Regional Business Listings: Covering larger areas but still focusing on regional audiences.
  • Community Websites: Local blogs, news sites, and community boards.

Local citations come in various forms. There are two main types of local citations:

  1. Structured Citations: Structured citations are the most common type of local citations. They include your business’s NAP information in a consistent format across well-known directories and business listing websites. Examples of structured citations include listings on platforms like Google My Business, Yelp, Bing Places for Business, and other business directories. These citations are crucial for establishing your business’s legitimacy and improving your local search rankings.
  2. Unstructured Citations: Unstructured citations, on the other hand, are mentions of your business that do not follow a consistent format and can appear on various types of websites. These can include mentions in blog posts, news articles, social media posts, and other online content. While unstructured citations are less formal, they still play a significant role in building your online presence and credibility. These citations help search engines recognize the relevance and popularity of your business within the local community.

Best Practices for Local Citation Management

Adhering to best practices for local citations is crucial for maximizing their impact on your local SEO strategy.

Consistency and Accuracy

Maintaining consistent and accurate NAP (Name, Address, Phone Number) information across all citation sources is essential. Any discrepancies in your business information can confuse search engines and potential customers, negatively affecting your local search rankings. We ensure that your NAP information is uniform across all directories and platforms, enhancing your credibility and search engine trust.

Utilizing High-Quality Directories

Choosing reputable and high-quality directories for your citations is vital. Not all directories are created equal, and submitting your business to low-quality or spammy directories can harm your local SEO efforts. We prioritize top-tier general business directories, industry-specific directories, and local directories that provide the most value and authority for your citations.

Regular Monitoring and Updating

Local citations are not a set-and-forget aspect of local SEO. Regular monitoring and updating are necessary to maintain their accuracy and effectiveness. We continuously monitor your citations to ensure they remain up-to-date and correct any changes in your business information promptly. This proactive approach helps prevent outdated or incorrect citations from negatively impacting your local SEO.

Leveraging Rich Media

Incorporating rich media, such as photos and videos, into your citations can significantly enhance their effectiveness. Rich media makes your listings more engaging and informative, attracting more potential customers. We utilize platforms that support rich media citations to broaden your reach and improve your online presence.

Tailoring Citations to Your Industry

Different industries have specific requirements and standards for local citations. Tailoring your citations to meet these industry-specific needs ensures they are relevant and impactful. We customize our citation building and management services to align with the unique demands of your industry, providing targeted exposure and credibility.
