This is the freshest citation-building resource for anyone looking for local business listings or local directories.

These local citation sites were included based on a range of criteria:

  • Domain Authority (their ranking power)
  • Generic inclusion (businesses in all categories can get listed on them)
  • Activity (they’re still in business)
  • Accepting new listings (not closed business lists)

How do I get my business listed?

Building local citations is a time-consuming process that usually takes 15-20mins to do per site—but it doesn’t have to be this way.

Rather than spending hours doing it yourself our team of citation specialists can do all the hard work for you. They deliver over 100,000 citations for 1,500+ businesses every month, so you’re in trusted hands. From just $2 per site, they’ll make sure your business appears in all the right local listing sites and directories.
