A local citation is any online mention of your business name, address and phone number, often called NAP.
Directories, chamber listings, review sites and data aggregators all publish your NAP. When those listings disagree, search engines and AI tools become less confident about which details are correct, which can weaken local rankings.
Pin Tip
Keep a simple spreadsheet of every listing you control with its login, then review it twice a year.
Where to List
Start with Google, Apple Business Connect, Bing Places, Yelp, Facebook and the local directories that serve your area. Quality and accuracy matter more than sheer volume.
