Top Citation Sites for Car Dealerships

Published: July 1st, 2022

Last Updated: October 25th, 2024

Building citations on a wide selection of authoritative business listing sites is an important process for car dealerships to undertake. Maintaining a positive reputation is essential for businesses of this type, and this begins with developing a consistent presence online.

As you continue to create listings on a variety of different citation sites relevant to your industry, search engines and consumers will place more trust in your car dealership. This can lead to more clicks and more auto sales.

While you’re making your way through this list, it’s wise to check the ‘country’ column so you’re only registering on the most relevant websites. You’ll also see that there’s a column explaining which sites you’ll have to pay for and which ones are free.

Below the niche list, we’ve also gathered the top general citation sites that most businesses should try to get listed on.
