Business listings across online directories

Business citations are listings of your business name, address and phone number across the web. Catapult Local builds and manages them on the directories that matter, keeping every detail consistent, as part of every program.

The Problem Most Businesses Have With Citations

Inconsistency

Your business shows up as "ABC Electrical" on one site and "ABC Electrical LLC" on another. Inconsistencies confuse Google and AI tools.

Incomplete profiles

Listings missing phone numbers, addresses or website links waste valuable ranking signals.

Duplicate listings

Multiple listings for the same business split your authority across profiles.

Time-consuming upkeep

Building and maintaining citations by hand takes dozens of hours, and it’s hard to know which directories matter.

FAQ

Citation Questions

What are business citations?

Business citations are online listings that show your business name, address and phone number (NAP) on directories, review sites, social platforms and local websites.

Why do citations matter?

Search engines use citations to confirm your business is real, where you operate and how trustworthy you are. AI assistants also cross-check these sources before recommending a business, so consistent citations help in both Google and AI search.

Which directories do you use?

We focus on directories Google trusts and customers use, such as Google Business Profile, Apple Maps, Bing Places, Facebook, Yelp and the BBB, plus industry directories for your trade.

Are citations included in my program?

Yes. Citation building and ongoing management are included in every program at no extra cost.
