Citation Sites for 100 USA Cities https://www.brightlocal.com/resources/top-citation-sites/location/us-cities/ https://www.brightlocal.com/resources/top-citation-sites/location/us-cities/#comments Fri, 01 Jul 2022 07:00:20 +0000 https://www.brightlocal.com/?p=14706 Building and cleaning up local business citations is an essential, ‘table stakes’ task for any business that wants to rank well in local search.

It’s easy to find out which citations have the highest authority, but authority isn’t everything. Local and industry relevance is also very important, but finding these types of citations is time-consuming and repetitive.

To help make the process of finding business listings in USA cities easier, we’ve taken the time to heavily research the market and compile an exhaustive list of local business listing sites for 100 of the largest cities in the USA.

How did we find 500+ citation sites?

Using a variety of sources, including our own citation databases, manual research, and existing online resources, we have compiled this list and manually reviewed each site.

However, we’ve only included sites that:

  • allow a listing for any type of business (rather than a niche industry)
  • are unique to that US city, so they are proper local directories (no Yelp’s, Yahoo’s, CitySearch’s or statewide directories in this list).

All citation sites are listed under their relevant city section and each listing contains the following information:

  • Site name
  • Domain Authority*
  • Is it a free/paid/reciprocal listing?
  • What is the listing page URL/contact form (where available)?

*Domain Authority was recorded using Moz’s Link Explorer tool, which fluctuates over time.

How do I find the city I want?

Click on the ‘Article Contents’ dropdown in the top left (or click the arrow in the top-left on mobile) to see, and navigate to, the full list of cities.

Top Citation Sites in Austria https://www.brightlocal.com/resources/top-citation-sites/location/austria/ Fri, 01 Mar 2024 13:47:06 +0000 https://www.brightlocal.com/?p=118412 Local citations are known to be a top five local search ranking factor. As such, they’re a vital local SEO tool for any local business. They also have the added advantage of reaching consumers who may not otherwise have come across your products and services.  

In addition to their usefulness as a discovery medium and their ability to drive online and physical foot traffic, business listings bolster trust. 

Regardless of your specific industry or sector, multiple individual citations serve to validate the accuracy of your business and location data.

What is a listing?

Often referred to as NAP (Name, Address, Phone Number) a citation is any online mention of your core business information. They can appear in a range of locations and include various other information. 

Why are local Austrian listings important?

Local listings signal that you have a local presence in Austria. That not only helps to boost local search visibility, it also attracts local consumers to your business.

Building Austrian Listings

German might be the official language of Austria, but numerous other languages, including English, Bavarian, Hungarian, Serbian, and Turkish, are all widely spoken. That can make life especially tricky for anyone creating Austrian business listings as you may need to switch between languages when moving from one citation site to the next.

Top Citation Sites in Belgium https://www.brightlocal.com/resources/top-citation-sites/location/belgium/ Fri, 01 Mar 2024 13:43:54 +0000 https://www.brightlocal.com/?p=118414 If you’re serious about growing your business in Belgium, you’ll need to incorporate local citation building into your local search plan. A good spread of business listings, across a wide range of both general and industry-specific citation sites can boost your local search presence. It also makes your business much easier to find, both online and in person, for local consumers.

Multiple listings, with consistent information, create an air of credibility. They also signal to search engines and search users that you’re an active, legitimate local business with a real local presence. Feeding this kind of data to search engines boosts their understanding of which areas you serve, and the products or services you offer. In turn, this will help your business to be returned for more relevant local searches.

What is a local listing?

A local citation is an online mention of your business information. It can take various forms and appear in a wide range of places. 

As a minimum, the mention must include your NAP: business name, address, and phone number.

Why are local Belgian citations important?

Belgian shopping habits changed enormously during the Covid-19 pandemic. It had a relatively small e-commerce market before 2019, but post-2020 local online purchases of non-food items increased by 66%. 

Building local citations allows you to gain visibility with those local shoppers.

Building Belgian Listings

With three official languages (French, German, and Dutch), you’ll need to be something of a linguist if you plan to build Belgian business listings manually. Swapping between multiple languages makes manual citation building more complex and more time-consuming than ever. 

You’ll need to be able to navigate account creation and registration, deal with input forms, and check for completeness. These are all time-intensive and repetitive tasks in their own right. They take up an even greater chunk of resources if you need to switch between three or four different languages and grapple with translation, too.
