Citation
An important local SEO factor for local maps and organic search.
What are Citations?
Citations are an online mention of your business. It normally include your business name, address and phone number (NAP). They are like website links because they are used by Google for evaluating the online authority of your business. One major difference between links and citations is that unlike links, citations don’t need to link to your business’s website. Google will give credit to the citation without a link to the site.
