Links and citations FAQs

What is a citation?

A citation is a listing of your business name, address and phone number on another website, such as a directory.

What is link building?

Link building means earning links from other websites to yours. Links from trusted, relevant sites help Google see that your business is real.

Why does NAP consistency matter?

NAP means name, address and phone number. When these details match everywhere, Google trusts your business more. When they differ, Google gets confused.

What kinds of links do you build?

We look for local links from community, business and industry sites, and links that come from real outreach. We avoid link schemes.

Do you use paid or automated links?

No. We use manual, white-hat methods only.

Is there a long-term contract?

No. Plans run month to month.
