How Does It Work?

You send us a filled order form, and we take it from there.

Step 1

We sweep the directories and locate your current citations to avoid duplicates.

Step 2

We analyze your competition to find some great listings that you might be missing out on.

Step 3

We then create a country-specific target list and get your citations done manually.

Step 4

You can view all your citations in our submission report, which includes live listings and screenshots of submissions.

Manual citation building Versus Automated Listing Management Tool

Businesses and agencies tend to use automated listing management tools to get the job done in less time and with minimal effort. Despite the ease and convenience that automated tools offer, agencies like DWS believe in 100% manual citation building. Here’s why:

Unlimited Reach

With an automated listing tool, there’s a limit to how many directory sites you can access for submissions.

On the other hand, manual citation building allows you to create and claim citations on as many directory sites as required.

Personalization

Personalization is an opportunity for you to stand out from the crowd. With manual citation building, you can personalize each listing according to the target directory. Besides basic NAP details, you can provide additional information to make your listing more relevant to your prospects.

There’s no such provision in automated tools. They feed the same NAP details across all directories, making your listing look borderline SPAM.

Forever Citations

When we manually create and claim a citation on a directory site, it is going to stay forever, with or without us. But that may not be the case with an automated tool.

No Duplicacy

Automated tools may be fast, but they are not smart enough to locate duplicate listings that have a slight variation. With our manual citation building process, we scan each target directory manually to avoid duplicates and fix incorrect listings..

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What are local citations?

    What are the different types of citations?

    Depending on the website that hosts your listing, a citation can be of three types.

    Structured

    Targeted at local businesses, structured citations are the ones that are submitted on directories like Google Maps, Yelp, Yellow Pages, JustDial and even Facebook. With these citations, you have complete control over what information you want to provide and modify as and when required. Online users use these citations to locate a business in their proximity.

    Unstructured

    This type of citation shows up on any website or app that carries your business information, although not intended to create a listing. For instance, somebody mentions your business name in a news article, blog post or social media post. These citations appear in SERPs on a keyword merit basis, which is determined by the search engine algorithm.

    Industry-specific

    These citations appear on niche-relevant websites, directories or aggregator sites. Having an industry-specific citation makes it easier for your prospects and peers to find your business information online.

    Is building citations important for local SEO?

    Building local citations ensures that your business NAP is consistent across the Internet. Having a citation on multiple directories means having multiple touchpoints for customer interactions. This also means multiple traffic sources for your website and hence, better ranking.

    How important is NAP data for SEO?

    It is important to have consistent NAP data across the Internet, or else search engine algorithms will not consider your listing a legitimate business. On the other hand, when you have consistent NAP data, search engine bots will prioritize your business in the SERPs.

    Will all citations include NAP information?

    The short answer is yes. We will obtain these details from you at the beginning of the process and submit them as is.

    What if my business is already listed in a directory?

    Following a manual citation building process, we will locate all your current citations and make sure there are no duplicates going forward. As part of the service, we will also fix listings that are incorrect or misleading.

    What information do I need to provide?

    We are going to need your business name, address, phone number, website, email address(optional) and a brief description of what you do.

    Will I be able to see all of my listings once they go live?

    Yes. You will be provided with a final report including screenshots of all the submissions.

    How many submissions will result in live placements?
