Full Citation Audit

Local SEO campaign starts with an audit to ensure consistency and clear and solid objectives.

Every campaign receives a detailed, time-intensive audit and KPI process. Cataloging valid and invalid citations, avoiding duplication citation building efforts.

This process results in a fully detailed report, including a road map on effectively repairing incorrect citations.

Local Citations Building

Local directory citations are essential for local SEO success.

With our detailed, manual submission citations, we ensure you are in the BEST directories for your niche market.

This is not a standard list of local directories. Every campaign is different, and we leverage three strategies for determining which directories to submit to for that particular client.

Tactic 1: Ego directories – The most popular, traffic-dense, authority directories

Tactic 2: Competitor directories – We take your specific keywords and find out what quality citations are influential not only in your industry but your specific SERPs (search engine result pages).

Tactic 3: Competitor review directories – We scrape competitor review directories to find Google trusted guides.

We claim the most valuable directories where possible & deliver transparent reporting, including all login info.

Rich Media Citations

Anyone can make simple directory submissions, but to increase our effectiveness, we enhance them with geo-tagged photos and videos and citation links from rich media sources.

Video

We create short, whiteboard-style video slideshows with music, images, & text. These custom videos are optimized to the fullest extent, including geo-meta-data. We then submit these niche videos to the top video hosting sources, creating high authority, legit backlinks, and business citations.

Images

We optimize, upload, and including geo-meta data, submitting these images to the top image hosting sources, creating high authority, legit links, & citations.

Social Citations

We create detailed, manual submissions, adding all media and content, resulting in high authority, strong links, and citations.
