If you find yourself doing a lot of research about how to make your business able to be found easier online you’ve probably a lot about “citations”.
Now, I’m sure you’re wondering, “well, what does that mean?”
To say it simply, your citations are your different online records almost like your own online phone books.
Different citations would be like Yellowpages, Superpages, BBB, Yelp, etc.
Anywhere that allows you to insert your business name, address, and contact information.
Simple enough right?
So how do we best use them?
Well, imagine you have a room of mirrors and you want to make a circle out of them so when you look at one mirror it simultaneously points to the next and so on and so forth.
Your online listings (citations) are your mirrors.
So how do we make sure your mirrors are pointing to each other to make that perfect circle?
We confirm that all of the information on those pages above are correct.
Which would be the same as adjusting your mirrors to ensure they all point in the right direction.
Editing contact & business information = adjusting mirrors for a perfect circle.
Did this make sense? We sure hope so.
