Citations are mentions of your business name, address and phone number on other websites. They're one of the key signals Google uses to decide how to rank businesses on Maps.

A local citation is any online mention of your business name, address and phone number (NAP). These appear on business directories like Yell, Thomson Local, Yelp, Facebook and dozens of other platforms. When your business details are consistent across many trusted websites, Google sees this as a strong trust signal and is more likely to rank your business higher.
Why Citations Matter for Google Maps
Google cross-references your business information across the web. If your details are consistent and accurate on 50+ trusted platforms, Google gains confidence that your business is legitimate and established. This directly impacts your rankings on Google Maps. Inconsistent or missing citations can actually hurt your rankings.
