From £300 for 50 citations · Covering the UKLocal Citation Building
Citations are mentions of your name, address and phone number on directories and other sites. Google cross-checks them against your profile. Consistent, accurate citations on the directories that still matter in the UK are a foundation for map-pack rankings.
We'll call you within one working day to confirm a couple of details, then your audit lands in your inbox within 48 hours. Nothing else to do for now.
The service is filled in for you. Add your business type, budget and postcode and we'll audit this first.
What's included
- 50 citations on UK directories and data aggregators, built by hand
- Name, address and phone formatted identically everywhere, matching your Google profile
- Category, description, hours, logo and website added where the directory allows
- Apple Business Connect and Bing Places included
- Login details and a full spreadsheet of every listing handed over
- Industry directories relevant to your trade included where they exist
What we check first
- What do your existing citations say, and do they agree with each other?
- Which directories do your map-pack competitors appear on that you don't?
- Is your address formatted the same way on your website, profile and Companies House?
- Are there old addresses or phone numbers still floating around?
- Which trade or industry directories carry weight in your niche?
These are the questions your free audit answers before we quote.

Testimonials
What clients say
Reviews are quoted with permission and attributed by business type and area rather than by name.
“We went from nowhere to the top three on the map for “emergency plumber” in our town inside four months. The phone tracking was the bit that convinced me it was working, not just the ranking screenshots.”
Plumbing company Lancashire“Our Google profile had been suspended for weeks and two other companies couldn't get it back. These guys had it reinstated in nine days and then tidied up every listing we had online.”
Dental practice West Midlands“Honest about what would and wouldn't move the needle. They told us not to bother with two things we'd been paying another agency for. Bookings from Google are up about a third year on year.”

Local Citation Building: questions people ask
Anything else, use the contact form below and we'll answer the same working day.
Do citations still matter?
Less than they did, but yes. Consistency across the major directories is a trust signal, and inconsistent listings are still one of the commonest things holding new businesses back.
Why not use an automated submission service?
They're fast and cheap, and they create duplicates and errors that take longer to clean up than building by hand. We've spent more time undoing automated citations than building them.
Do I need more than 50?
Most single-location businesses don't. The next step is usually industry directories and local links rather than volume.
What if I move premises?
Every listing needs updating. That's what the citation cleanup service is for, and it's why we hand over the spreadsheet of logins.
