Last Updated: September 23rd, 2024

Getting your business listed on the most popular UK citation sites should be a key component of your search engine optimization (SEO) strategy.

Without a presence on a wide variety of UK business listings sites, you’ll likely find it harder to get noticed by potential customers and search engines!

The top citation sites for UK businesses receive millions of views every month and this means that countless local consumers could discover your business. This high level of traffic is one of the reasons that these sites are seen as authoritative and trustworthy in the eyes of Google. By creating citations for your business on several of these sites, you’ll see some of this authority and trust passed along to you.

The following list includes the best citation sites that you’ll want to create listings on. In putting together this list, we only chose sites that have a high domain authority to help maximize the results you enjoy from your efforts.

How do I list my business?

Building local citations is a time-consuming process that usually takes 15-20mins to do per site—but it doesn’t have to be this way.

Rather than spending hours creating an account on each site and uploading your business details, one by one, our team of citation specialists can do all the hard work for you. They deliver over 100,000 citations for 1,500+ businesses every month, so you’re in trusted hands. From just $2 per site, they’ll make sure your business appears in all the right local listing sites and directories.

Sounds good, right? Take a look at local Citation Builder to find out more.
