Questions about Local Citation Builder
What does the Local Citation Builder do?
It audits your business listings across more than 50 directories and fixes inconsistencies in your name, address, and phone number, so your local search visibility is supported by consistent data everywhere it appears.
What does NAP consistency mean, and why does it matter?
NAP stands for name, address, and phone number. When these details match exactly across every directory, search engines treat your listings as more trustworthy, which supports stronger local search visibility.
How does the audit identify citation problems?
The audit checks your business information against the directories it covers and flags where your name, address, or phone number doesn't match what you've designated as correct.
Which directories does the tool cover?
The tool audits and fixes citations across more than 50 directories, covering the listings most likely to influence local search visibility.
How are incorrect citations actually fixed?
Once an inconsistency is flagged, the tool updates the listing to match your correct business information, rather than leaving the correction to you to make manually on each directory.
How do I set up the audit for my business?
You provide your correct business name, address, and phone number as the source of truth, and the tool compares that against your existing listings to find mismatches.
Can I manage citations for more than one business location?
If your business has multiple locations, each location's citations can be audited and corrected separately so the data is accurate for each address.
How often does the tool re-check my citations after the initial fix?
The tool is built to monitor your listings on an ongoing basis so that new inconsistencies, such as a directory reverting old information, can be caught and corrected after the initial cleanup.
What happens if a directory doesn't allow automatic corrections?
Where a directory restricts automatic updates, the tool identifies the issue so you know a correction is needed, even if the fix itself requires direct action on that directory.
How is the Local Citation Builder priced?
Current plan and billing details are available directly from Arising Media.
Is there a trial before I commit to a plan?
Trial availability and plan terms are confirmed at signup; contact Arising Media for current options.
What business data does the tool need, and how is it handled?
It needs your correct name, address, and phone number to run the audit and corrections, and that data is used only to verify and update your citations across the covered directories.
Is my business information shared with directories I haven't approved?
The tool works only with the directories included in its coverage and updates listings using the business information you've provided as correct.
What support is available if a citation isn't corrected properly?
Support is available through Arising Media for citation errors or directories that don't reflect the expected correction.
How is this different from manually checking and fixing citations directory by directory?
Manually checking more than 50 directories for consistency is time-consuming and easy to let slip once it's done the first time. The tool audits and corrects citations across that same set of directories and keeps monitoring for drift, without requiring you to revisit each one by hand.
