Citations, in plain English

Think business directories, map listings and specialist directories for your trade.

Local SEO people call them “citations”, but a local business owner will usually recognise them as business directory listings: pages that show your company name, address, telephone number, website, category and other business details.

The strongest campaign is not about dumping the same information onto 120 random websites. Established high-authority directories can be useful, but so can smaller industry-specific and genuinely local directories because they reinforce what your business does and where it operates.

We therefore combine authority, relevance and consistency, and we check for an existing listing before making another one. The goal is a wider, cleaner business footprint, not duplicate clutter.

The kind of places we look for

Familiar UK directories, map data sources and niche business directories.

Examples of established UK citation sources highlighted in current industry research include the names below. Your exact campaign is selected around your business type, location, eligibility and existing listings, so no individual directory is guaranteed.

YellBing MapsYelpFoursquareHERETomTomKompassHotfrogFreeIndexBrownbookCylexProvenExpert
High-authority opportunities

We consider signals such as Moz Domain Authority (DA), crawlability and overall site quality. DA is not a Google metric, so authority is used alongside relevance rather than treated as a magic ranking score.

Niche + local relevance

A relevant trade or location directory can be valuable even when it is smaller, because it reinforces your category and the area you serve.

Duplicate checked first

Before a new listing is submitted, we look for an obvious existing presence so we do not deliberately create a second competing version of the same business.

Directory examples are illustrative, not a fixed submission list. Directory acceptance rules and eligibility change over time.

What you get

120 carefully worked listings, not 120 random submissions.

Each purchased location receives a manual directory-submission campaign built around one agreed version of your core business information, with duplicate checking before new listings are created.

120 UK directory submissions

We work through a curated mix of established general, UK, locally relevant and niche directory opportunities appropriate to the business.

Manual submission

A person works through the campaign so obvious duplicates, bad formatting and mismatched details can be spotted rather than blindly pushed out.

NAP consistency checks

We use the agreed business name, address and phone number consistently wherever the directory allows those fields.

Duplicate check before submission

We look for an obvious existing listing first. Where a usable presence already exists, the aim is to record or work with it rather than deliberately create a duplicate.

Detailed completion report

You receive a clear record of the sources worked on, submitted listings, live listings, pending approvals and anything that still needs action.

No recurring citation fee

The citation-building job is a one-off service. You are not signing up to an ongoing listings subscription with us.

Skip the repetitive work

Want us to build all 120 directory listings for you?

Give us one agreed set of business details and we will check for obvious duplicates, work through the directory campaign manually, keep your core details consistent and send you the completion report.

Simple process

Order today. We collect the details. Then we do the repetitive work.

01

Place your order

Choose the number of business locations and complete the secure checkout.

02

We confirm your details + check duplicates

We collect the exact NAP and supporting business information to use, then look for obvious existing listings before new submissions are made.

03

We build the listings manually

We work through suitable general, local and niche directory opportunities one by one. The manual submission work normally takes around 5–7 days.

04

You receive the report

We send the completed report showing what was worked on, what is live, what remains pending and any directory-specific follow-up.

Important: 5–7 days is our typical completion time for the submission work after we receive the information we need. Individual directories control their own review and publication times, so a submitted citation may take longer to appear publicly.

Different providers use different models, so this is not a claim that every package below is identical. It shows current published pricing examples from well-known listing and citation services compared with our focused one-off service. The packages are not identical, but it helps put the manual workload and one-off price into context.

Before ordering

What citation building can and cannot do.

Good local SEO is broader than directory submissions. Citations can strengthen data consistency and create extra discovery points, but they work best alongside a well-built Google Business Profile, a useful website, genuine reviews and other local prominence signals.

What is a citation in plain English?

It is usually a business directory or listing page that mentions your business name, address, phone number and often your website, category and other details. You do not need to know SEO jargon to use the service.

What information will you need from me?

After payment we email you for the exact information required to build the campaign. This normally includes the official business name, address, phone number, website, core category and any additional business details needed by individual directories.

Are the 120 directory listings created automatically?

No. The campaign is worked through manually. That lets us notice obvious duplicate listings, inconsistent formatting and mismatched business information instead of simply pushing the same data through an automated blast.

Will all 120 listings be live within 5–7 days?

The manual submission work is normally completed in around 5–7 days after we receive and confirm the information we need. Individual directories control approval and publication, so some submitted listings may remain pending for longer.

Do you check for duplicate listings?

Yes. We look for an obvious existing business listing before submitting a new one. Where a usable listing already exists, we record or work with that presence where practical rather than deliberately creating another competing profile.

Do directory listings guarantee higher Google rankings?

No. Business-directory citations are one part of local SEO and no legitimate provider can guarantee a particular map-pack or organic position. Their value is supporting a broader, cleaner and more consistent business footprint, with relevant listings that can also create extra discovery points for customers.

Is there a monthly fee?

No. This is a one-off citation building service. If you later want ongoing Google Business Profile, review and local visibility management, Review Flywheel offers separate managed services.
