Why Local Citation Is Important?
Local citations are important in displaying your business in local search results. A citation is linking your business name, address and phone number (NAP) across different sites, including online directories, review sites, and local business listings.
When your business NAP is accurate and consistent across each platform, it tells Google you are a legitimate business that can be trusted. This will offer more value to your local search rankings on Google and Google Maps.
Search engines use these local citations as a way to verify that your business is a legitimate business location. The more quality citations there are and quality backlinks (especially local ones), the more trust Google builds in fulfilling local search queries.
Local citations can also provide direct traffic from directory websites, as well as making it easier for customers to get in contact with you. If your details are wrong or missing, it can confuse both Google and potential customers.
That’s why our Local Citation Services at Know How focus on building strong, accurate, and consistent listings — so your business gets found by the right people in the right place.

You first want to submit your business to major directories – like Google, Yelp, Bing Places, and Justdial.

You also want to pay attention to consistency and if listings are up to date.
To build your local citations, start with a consistent NAP format. After that, list your business on responsible local directories, niche sites, and blogs that are industry, and location based. You may either do it manually, or have tools like BrightLocal or Whitespark make bulk submissions for you.

Just make sure to check the settings on the specific directory before you submit to them.
