Citation Audit & Cleanup
Your business is already listed in dozens — sometimes hundreds — of places across the web. Some of those listings are wrong. Wrong address, old phone number, dead website, inconsistent business name. Every one of them is actively hurting your rankings.
We audit every listing that exists, flag every inconsistency, and fix them. If you've been in business more than two years, moved, rebranded, or changed phone numbers — this is the single cheapest way to recover local rankings.
Why Inconsistent Listings Kill Rankings
Google cross-references your business information across every listing it can find. When the name, address, and phone match up, Google's confidence goes up. When they conflict, Google gets confused — and Google hedges against confusion by ranking you lower.
It's worse than having no citations at all. Ten perfect citations beat fifty inconsistent ones every time. If your listings disagree with each other, Google doesn't know which version to trust — so it trusts none of them.
This is the #1 reason long-established businesses get outranked by newer competitors with cleaner listing profiles. And it's completely fixable.
This Is For You If You've...
Four situations cover almost every business that needs an audit. If any of these describe you, inconsistent listings are almost certainly costing you rankings.
Moved addresses
Old address still lives on Yelp, Bing, Apple Maps, and 40 other sites you've never heard of. Customers drive to the wrong place.
Rebranded or renamed
New name on Google, old name still listed on dozens of sites. Google splits trust between the two and rankings slip.
Changed your phone number
Calls still going to the old line on old listings. Unknown how much business you're losing to a number you don't own anymore.
Inherited a mess
You bought the business. Or you replaced a marketing agency that spammed your listings. Either way, it's a mess now and you need it cleaned up.
Our Process
Deep Scan
We scan every directory, data aggregator, and industry site for your business. Not just the obvious ones — the obscure ones, the old ones, the forgotten ones.
Inconsistency Report
You get a complete spreadsheet: every listing, every inconsistency, every duplicate, every orphan. Before we change anything, you see exactly what's wrong.
Cleanup & Corrections
We log in and fix every listing we can reach. For listings that require manual support, we handle the outreach and escalation. No listing gets left inconsistent.
Before/After Report
Final deliverable: a clean report showing every listing touched, every issue resolved, and what your citation profile looks like now — clean, consistent, and ready to rank.

New business? Skip the audit.
If you're a new business or never built citations before, a cleanup doesn't apply — there's nothing to clean up. Instead, start with our Local Citation Services to build 340 consistent listings from scratch.
Established business with existing listings? Audit first. We'll tell you whether cleanup alone fixes the issue or whether you need cleanup plus new citations.
