How Many Local Citations Does Your Business Need?

There is no single right number. The best answer depends on your industry, your city, and how many listings your competitors already have.

What changes the number

• Competition. A dentist in a large city needs more than a plumber in a small town.
• Existing listings. If you already have many accurate ones, you need fewer new ones.
• Locations. Each location needs its own set of consistent listings.
• Industry. Some industries have many relevant directories, others only a few.

Quality beats volume

Fifty accurate listings on relevant directories help more than two hundred sloppy ones. Wrong details or duplicates can work against you.

A simple way to decide

1. Look at three to five competitors that rank well.
2. Note which directories list them.
3. Cover those directories first with your own accurate details.
4. Expand to niche and local sites over time.
