Citation & Business Listing Services for Small Businesses
If your business has ever moved to a new location, or changed phone numbers, you know that keeping your business information updated online can be a never ending battle. It’s time to take control.
50% of local searches don’t occur on search engines, but on the countless directories and apps that seem to pop up every other day like Yelp, Google My Business, Facebook, Yellow Pages, and more. Making sure that you are in control of your business’ information on these important directories, or “citations”, has never been more important.
BizIQ’s local search optimization services help local businesses claim their pin on the worldwide map. We provide the tools and resources small businesses need to make sure that potential customers can find you and reach you, no matter where they’re searching. Our team of local search experts work with you to create a profile that places your business’ most important information front and center, and ensures that search engines view your business as credible so you can continue to gain important search engine rankings and visibility.

What are Local Search Citations?
There’s a reason the internet is often called “the web.” A small business’ online presence is made up of a complex network of mentions of a business’ name, address, and phone number (“NAP”) known as citations. These citations include business directories, local maps, and many other listings that can be generated either manually or automatically. Google uses this information to determine whether the information on a business is consistent across the web – an indication that your business is valid, trustworthy, and open for business.
Unfortunately, something as simple as an old phone number or change in address, if not handled correctly, can spawn a host of duplicate listings and perpetuate errors that can do serious damage to your business’ bottom line.
