What are Local Citation Cleanup Services?

These services ensure that your business information is accurate and consistent everywhere, helping you improve your local search engine rankings and providing a seamless experience for potential customers.
What You Can Expect From Local Citation Cleanup Service

When customers can easily find and contact you, it builds confidence in your brand. Accurate citations make your business look reliable and professional. - Improve Local SEO Rankings
Search engines reward businesses with consistent NAP information by ranking them higher in local search results. This means more visibility and traffic for your business. - Strengthen Your Reputation
Consistency signals professionalism. Accurate citations ensure your brand’s image stays strong and trustworthy, online and offline.
Why Accurate Citations Matter
Accurate citations are the foundation of your local SEO strategy. Think of them as digital signposts that guide potential customers straight to your business. When your Name, Address, and Phone Number (NAP) are consistent across the web, search engines and customers know exactly where to find you. But when these details are wrong or inconsistent, the consequences can ripple through your rankings, reputation, and revenue.

Our 6-step citation cleaning Process
Cleaning up citations isn’t for the faint of heart. It’s manual, meticulous, and (for us) oddly satisfying. Here’s our step-by-step approach:
We start with a deep dive into your online presence, identifying every place your business is listed. This includes major directories, niche platforms, and even hidden listings. During the audit, we look for:
- Inconsistent Name, Address, and Phone Number (NAP) details.
- Duplicate listings that confuse search engines.
- Outdated or incorrect information.
Once we’ve mapped your citations, we prioritize what needs fixing. We first target the most impactful directories using metrics like Domain Authority or organic traffic. Our goal is to focus on what matters most to your SEO success.
Here’s where the real work begins. Unlike others who rely on automated tools, our team manually contacts directories to update your information. This ensures:
- Personal, human-driven communication for better results.
- Follow-ups with stubborn directories that need extra nudges.
- Accurate and timely updates across all platforms.
Duplicate citations dilute your online authority. We identify and remove these listings to consolidate your presence and enhance your credibility.
You’ll stay informed throughout the process with bi-weekly progress reports. At the end of the campaign, we provide a detailed, white-labeled report summarizing all updates made.
The internet never sleeps, and neither do we. Even after cleanup, we offer monitoring services to keep your citations consistent and accurate. This ensures that new errors or changes don’t undo the hard work.

FAQs
You can clean up your citations by starting at the root source, such as a government source, phone company, or utilities. Then, you can log in to your account, find the settings for editing business info, and edit the info with the correct information. If the site doesn’t have features for editing your business profile, you can contact them to report the incorrect information
Inconsistent citations confuse search engines and customers. Search engines might penalize your rankings, and customers may show up at the wrong location or call outdated numbers. Cleaning up your citations enhances your credibility and boosts your online visibility.
The process starts with a comprehensive audit of your existing business listings to identify errors or duplicates. We then manually contact directories to update or remove incorrect information. Progress reports are provided throughout, and a final report summarizes all corrections made.
A typical citation cleanup campaign runs for about six weeks. This timeline ensures we have enough time to:
Audit your citations thoroughly.
Reach out to directory platforms (often multiple times).
Allow for updates to be processed by the directories.
Some directories respond quicker than others, so we account for delays to ensure accuracy without rushing the process.
Yes, we may need your email address to verify or update directory listings that require owner authentication or communication.
We recommend reviewing your citations at least once a year or after major business changes (like a move, phone number update, or rebranding). Regular monitoring helps keep your business information accurate.
