How do I create citations for my Google Business Profile?

Creating citations for your Google Business Profile is important to listing your business online and increasing its visibility. Citations are mentions of your business across the web, including your name, address, and phone (NAP) information. When your business information is consistent across the web, it speaks positively to the search engines and increases your visibility.

Steps to creating citations

  1. You can see new citation opportunities within the 'Directories' section of the platform (this can be found under the Local tab).

  2. Identify the citations you wish to build / update by looking at the sections named 'Listings have errors' and 'Not listed yet'.

  3. Followed the third-party website's steps, and build the citation.
