  1. Are You Falling for These Local Citation Myths?

  2. Why Are Local Citations Important? A citation, as you know, is any mention of any business offline and online. While we all love when a citation includes the address, phone number and website link alongside the business name, this isn’t always the case. Inaccurate local citations damage both consumer trust and the trust search engines have in a business. This bad data is causing consumers to get lost, call bad numbers and ultimately choose the competition – you know, the competitor that actually has their local business data listed correctly on the web.
