These include listings such as local directories, <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px;\">such as Yelp.com, YellowPages.com, and SuperPages.com.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px;\">Also, citations can be found on other types of websites such as local blogs, <\/span><span style=\"font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px;\">news<br \/>\nwebsites, employment sites, Social Media sites, government sites, the <\/span><span style=\"font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px;\">Chamber<br \/>\nof Commerce sites, and anything else that may mention your company. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px;\">Even if<br \/>\nthe mention has no link to your company\u2019s website and only your <\/span><span style=\"font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px;\">company\u2019s<br \/>\nname is mentioned, it is still considered a citation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"font-effect-shadow-multiple\" style=\"font-family: 'Carter One'; font-size: 22px; color: #3366ff;\">However, the more information included, the better.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wp.me\/P7PMmJ-93\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-51331 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/wby.30a.myftpupload.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/directories.jpg\" alt=\"get found with citations for your business\" width=\"565\" height=\"378\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.imjusticemarketing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/directories.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.imjusticemarketing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/directories-300x201.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 565px) 100vw, 565px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"font-effect-shadow-multiple\" style=\"font-family: 'Carter One'; font-size: 32px; color: #3366ff;\">Why Citations Are Good<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Any online exposure for your company will bring attention to your products and services,<br \/>\nwhich you can obviously benefit from. Exposure opens you up to potential customers that<br \/>\nmay have previously passed you by; and citations play a vital role in helping you connect<br \/>\nwith these potential buyers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">In addition to that, citations are critical for search engine optimization today.\u00a0 Google and<br \/>\nother search engines use citations to rank your business. The more citations you have,<br \/>\nthe higher your website will list in the search results. A higher ranking means more web<br \/>\ntraffic, which in turn equals more business for you.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><em>So what is the key to getting more citations for your business? <\/em><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><em>While there are a variety of ways to accomplish this, it all boils <\/em><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><em>down to building more of a presence online.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>However, several factors should be considered when building these citations.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 32px;\"><span class=\"font-effect-shadow-multiple\" style=\"font-family: 'Carter One'; color: #3366ff;\">Tips for Citation<\/span><span class=\"font-effect-shadow-multiple\" style=\"font-family: 'Carter One'; color: #3366ff;\">s<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">At the very least, your citations should mention your company\u2019s formal name, your<br \/>\nphysical address, and your local phone number (also called NAP for \u201cName, Address,<br \/>\nPhone Number\u201d) &#8211; and anything else that tells a search engine or a customer exactly<br \/>\nwho you are.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Even more important is that all of your citations are consistent and contain the exact<br \/>\nsame information.\u00a0 Using different addresses and phone numbers (except in the case<br \/>\nof multiple locations) could actually hurt your ability to gain any benefits from them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Finally, a citation is most effective when it is accompanied by as much information<br \/>\nabout your business as possible. So be sure to include your hours of operations,<br \/>\npictures, videos, details about your products and services, and any other helpful<br \/>\ninformation you think your potential customers would like to have.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><center>[contact-form][contact-field label=&#8221;Name&#8221; type=&#8221;name&#8221;  required=&#8221;true&#8221; \/][contact-field label=&#8221;Email&#8221; type=&#8221;email&#8221; required=&#8221;true&#8221; \/][contact-field label=&#8221;Website&#8221; type=&#8221;url&#8221; \/][contact-field label=&#8221;Message&#8221; type=&#8221;textarea&#8221; \/][\/contact-form]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wp.me\/P5IUoa-36p\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-50374\" src=\"https:\/\/wby.30a.myftpupload.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/main-website-signature-blue-1.png\" alt=\"Dave Smith and IMJustice Marketing\" width=\"730\" height=\"173\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/center>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Especially covering Brevard County Towns such as:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Melbourne, Melbourne Beach, Sebastian, Merritt Island, Palm Bay,<br \/>\nCocoa, Cocoa Beach, Cape Canaveral, Titusville, Rockledge, Mims,<br \/>\nIndialantic, Indian Harbour Beach, Satellite Beach, Malabar, Grant,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Usually when you hear that you have received a \u201ccitation\u201d it is a bad thing, but in the Online Marketing world, the opposite is true.
