Top Citation Sites for Hotels

Top Citation Sites for Hotels

The hotel industry is incredibly competitive, so you’ll naturally want to take every opportunity to stand out. These days, most people will look online when they want to book a hotel room and this is why having a powerful search engine optimization (SEO) plan in place is essential.

Building citations on business listing sites is foundational to an effective SEO strategy and this is a process you can easily undertake yourself.

Although building citations isn’t a complicated task, it does pay to know which listing sites you should focus your efforts on. That’s why we’ve created the following table of key information, including which sites are free to use, which ones you’ll have to pay for, and which sites operate in the country or countries where your hotel business is located.

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

Please note: Local citation sites listed here aren’t necessarily ones we can submit to using Citation Builder. Click here for more information.
