Google My Business / Bing, Apple Maps & Facebook Local Listing Optimization
We update pages for local search by adding your local contact address and telephone number in an address tag. This helps to optimize a site well in local searches and we create an hCard markup that is supported by local search engines and add it to your contact page.
A citation is an online reference to your business’s name, address and phone number (NAP). Like links to your website, Google uses them when evaluating the online authority of your business. For a citation to help with your local SEO strategy, it’s important that it exactly matches the NAP on your website and on your Google+ Local page.
Along with links and reviews, citations are a primary factor that Google uses when deciding on which order to rank businesses in their local search results.
Google uses citations to verify the accuracy of the contact details in their local business listings too. Citations help to improve your business’s rankings in local search results, they increase general awareness of your business and provide more ways for people to find you online.
