Building citations on the top Canadian business listings websites should be an early stage of your search engine optimization (SEO) strategy. 

By developing a consistent presence on these citation sites, you naturally make it easier for potential customers and clients to find you, while also enhancing the online visibility of your business website. 

The most popular Canadian directories are powerful sites to get your business listed on—and this is true regardless of the industry you work within. Below you’ll find a list of the best directories to consider for your citation-building campaign. While creating this list, we decided to only feature business listing sites that have a high domain authority. This helps you to get the most SEO value from the listings you create!

How do I list my business?

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 creating an account on each site and uploading your business details, one by one, 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.

Sounds good, right? Take a look at our local citation service to find out more.
