Questions about backlink sites for local businesses

What is a local citation?

A citation is any mention of your business name, address and phone online, with or without a link. Consistent citations help search engines trust your location.

Where should a local business start?

Start with the free, quick listings at the top of this list: they are sorted best first. Then work down to the slower ones (articles, reviews, launches), which take longer and usually count for more. A few listings a week, kept up, does more than a hundred in one day.

Backlink sites by goal

The same directory cut another way, or every kind of site with how many places each one holds.
