Citations are online references to your business name, address and phone number. Strong citation work focuses on accuracy and credible sources instead of raw listing volume.

Start with core business data

Choose one approved version of the firm name, office address, main phone number and website. Use the same information across major business profiles and directories.

Fix duplicates and old addresses

Advisory firms move offices, merge brands and change phone systems. Old listings often stay online. Find duplicates and outdated information before building new listings.

Prioritize major and relevant sources

Start with major search and mapping platforms, established business directories and credible industry sources. Local chamber and community listings also support local relevance when they reflect a real relationship.

Connect citations with the website

The contact page and location pages should show matching information. Structured data should reflect the visible office details. Consistency across the site and outside listings reduces confusion.

Audit citations over time

Business data changes. Review major listings after a move, rebrand, merger or phone change. Multi-location firms should keep a separate record for each office.
