Citations are those types of website/directories on the internet that shows basic information about a business. Like Yelp, Yellowpages and Manta. These types of citation websites are special inside Googles algorithm. But instead of signing up for every single one that you find, there are special ways to find the most relevant and most meaningful business directories that you can.

One of the biggest things to note is that there are already a few citation based sites being used inside the Core Profiles (Yelp being one) that you only want to build a directory to ONCE! These citations are similar. You'll notice that a lot of the Core Profiles will be seen in the scans we'll be doing, but it's important to start to distinguish social platform from citation.

I have notes all around the training showing which ones to avoid building duplicate listings to, just be careful with those and you'll have no problems.

Beyond using the Top 50 citations you'll then want to investigate what your competition is doing. This method means you could be building out additional social platforms that were not being used in the Core Profiles or the GEO Tag Profiles. This encompasses citations, directories, local based websites and the addition to possibly other types of social profiles. If you learned how to properly create the Core Profiles you'll have little difficulty figuring out how to build these other websites. Since the possibilities are endless we can not do a training on all these other types of sites. If you need help you can e-mail or message us on Facebook.

Or you can hire us to build your citations for you.
