A decade ago, consumers used hundreds of different sites to discover businesses.
But now, just a handful of sites dominate consumer engagement.
Sites where consumers discover, evaluate, and engage with your brand.
These sites are your most important digital storefronts. Regular maintenance and protection from rogue edits are crucial for safeguarding your reputation and delivering a superior customer experience.
Google | Apple Maps | Facebook | Bing
Sites that build authority with search engines.
Customers rarely look on these sites, but accuracy of basic business information (Name, Address and Phone) is key for gaining trust and authority with search engines.
Sites like: Manta | Merchant Circle | Tupalo | Hotfrog | Superpages
Other solutions still treat listings in the Engagement and Authority layers the same (they’re not!)
You’re left paying a premium to ‘rent’ your listings on their one-size-fits-all networks.
But it doesn’t have to be that way…
Citation Builder is our trusted, managed service for the Authority Layer. Our team of experts will build and fix listings on the most relevant, authority-boosting sites.
No renting your listings. No recurring fees. You own your listings, forever.
