Your business details, right on every listing
An old phone number on Yelp or a wrong address on Apple Maps can send customers to a competitor. Local citations are the places your name, address and phone appear online. We fix the wrong ones at the source and build the ones that matter.
What a listings check finds
A sample check for a made-up business. NAP consistency means your name, address and phone number (NAP) match everywhere. Every mismatch here could cost a call.

How we clean up your listings
Audit
We find where your business appears and what each listing says about your name, address and phone number.
Fix the source
Data suppliers feed many other sites, so we correct them first. That stops old details from spreading back.
Add what’s missing
Only listings that matter: Apple Maps, Bing, the main review sites, your trade’s directories and local sites across the US and Canada.
Clear up duplicates
A second listing for the same business splits your reviews and confuses customers. We report duplicates so the right one stays.
Keep a record
You get a list of every change, with links. On a monthly plan, we keep watching for new errors.
More listings isn’t the goal
Be wary of anyone selling you hundreds of citations. What matters is that your details are right on the sites people, and AI tools, actually use.
Do listings matter for AI answers?
It looks that way. In Whitespark’s 2026 survey, experts put listing factors in 3 of the top 5 spots for AI visibility, and in BrightLocal’s 2026 study, Yelp was about 9.5% of the sources AI cited. That’s expert opinion and correlation, not proof, but it’s a good reason to keep your details right.
How is this sold?
As a one-time listings cleanup, or as part of our Liftoff, Orbit and Escape Velocity plans. Either way, the price is agreed in writing after your free Maps report.

Ask a questionWhat are local citations, and do they still matter?
A local citation is any place online that shows your business name, address and phone number: Apple Maps, Bing, Yelp, directories and local sites. Accuracy matters more than volume now. Wrong details cost calls and confuse search engines, and Whitespark’s 2026 survey puts listing factors in 3 of the top 5 spots for AI visibility.
How do I get my business on Apple Maps?
Claim it through Apple Business Connect, Apple’s free tool for businesses. Search for your business, claim it or add it, and verify that you run it. Then match your hours, photos and categories to your Google profile. It’s worth doing: Apple Maps’ share as a review source rose from 14% to 27% in a year, in BrightLocal’s 2026 survey.
How do I list my business on Bing?
Use Bing Places for Business, Microsoft’s free listing tool. If you have a verified Google Business Profile, Bing Places can import it, which saves time and keeps your details consistent. Otherwise, add the business and verify it there. Bing listings also feed Microsoft’s own search and AI tools, so it’s worth the few minutes even if few customers use Bing.
What is NAP consistency?
It means your business name, address and phone number, or NAP, appear exactly the same everywhere: your Google profile, your website, Apple Maps, Bing, Yelp and directories. Small differences, like an old suite number or a different phone line, confuse customers and the data suppliers that feed other sites. We pick one correct version and work to make every listing match it.
Do you cover Canadian directories?
Yes. We cover the main Canadian directories and data suppliers as well as US ones, plus local and trade sites in your area. Some directories only exist in one country, so your list is built for where you actually operate, not copied from a template.
Do I need a paid listings subscription?
Usually not. Google Business Profile, Apple Business Connect and Bing Places are free, and most directories let you claim a listing at no cost. Some paid tools push your details to many sites at once, but with some services the listings can revert when you stop paying. We fix details at the source, so they’re more likely to stay right. Our fee is for that work.
