Local Citation Submission Guide
Use the exact NAP data below when submitting to each directory. Consistent Name, Address, and Phone across all platforms is a direct local ranking factor. Copy-paste — do not retype.
Why This Matters for Rankings
- →Google cross-references your business info across the web. Inconsistent NAP (even "Pkwy" vs "Parkway") dilutes your local authority and suppresses your map pack ranking.
- →Each citation platform is a backlink signal. More consistent citations = stronger local SEO trust score.
- →Apple Maps, Bing Places, and Foursquare feed dozens of downstream apps — fixing them here fixes your presence on Siri, Cortana, Snapchat, and Uber simultaneously.
- →After submitting, send your listing URLs to your developer to add them to your site's
sameAsJSON-LD — this closes the loop with Google.
