Local Business Citation Service Done-For-You.
100% manually submitted with a full submission report.
Local Citations are multiple consistent mentions of your business information on website directories and other properties found on the internet. Search engines like Google use these mentions as a trust signal and consistent NAP citations of your business will help you to rank within local Google search results.
This is a submission only service with downloadable submission report. We create a new email address used for all citation submissions. Service is limited to 100 citations max per business address. You’ll be provided with any login information for each business citation.
The Foursquare Directory
Foursquare is both an app and a website, and directs users to local businesses through the foursquare search feature. Customers can read reviews posted by friends and experts for each search result. When user visits a business, they can check in via foursquare to let their friends know where they are. Then, they can leave tips for future customers. The system is as much social media as it is search directory, and word of mouth rules on foursquare.
Foursquare welcomes small businesses to participate and has a simple, free system to manage listings. Your business may already be on foursquare; perform a search, and if your name appears, look for the words “Do you manage this location?” to claim your page. If your business hasn’t made it to foursquare yet, you can add it at no cost.
Once you’ve staked your claim, it’s important to update your profile regularly. People who have checked in with you will automatically see your updates on their smartphones, as will anyone viewing your page. Updates can include deal information, special menu items or any other news.
One advantage of foursquare is that you can create customized deals to reward people for checking into your business. For example, you may offer a free beverage or discount on retail items. That extra incentive could push some new customers through the front door. Plus, your most loyal customer—the one who checks in most often—is rewarded with the title of “mayor.”
Foursquare also provides a free analytics tool to help you track new and returning customers, allowing you to easily gauge the success of any coupons or other marketing strategies.
Foursquare is one of the bigger names in local search, and the site essentially offers small businesses a free arena for advertising. As with Facebook and Yelp, a foursquare presence is practically a must these days if you want to compete.
