Directory listings: add-on, priced on a call

Local citation services: listed everywhere, kept in sync

MapBoost's local citation service is an add-on: our team lists your business on the other directories customers and search engines check, such as Justdial, Bing and Apple Maps, and keeps every listing in sync with your Google Business Profile.

When your hours, phone or address change, we change them everywhere, so no customer calls a number you gave up last year.

Illustration of how our weekly work moves a profile up.

What is a local citation?

Any mention of your business's name, address and phone number on another website: a directory such as Justdial, a map app such as Apple Maps, a search engine's own listings such as Bing Places, an industry site. Each one is a place a customer might find you, and a signal that your details are real.

N, A, PName, address and phone. The three details that have to match on every listing, letter for letter, for citations to help instead of confuse.

How do our local citation services work?

  1. We find where you are listed today

    Old listings, duplicates and half-filled pages are common, especially after a move or a new phone number.

  2. We fix and add listings

    Existing listings are corrected to match your Google profile, and missing ones on the directories that matter for your industry and city are added.

  3. We keep them in sync

    When something changes on your Google profile, the same change goes out to your other listings.

Why do consistent listings matter for Google?

Google builds part of its picture of a business from the rest of the web. When every directory agrees on your details, that picture is clear. When they disagree, customers get the wrong number and Google gets a mixed signal.

"Information from across the web"is part of how Google judges prominence for local results, including directories.

Who needs directory listings?

Businesses that have moved, changed their phone number or name, opened a second branch, or simply never looked at what Justdial and Apple Maps say about them. It is also a sensible first step for a new business that wants its details right everywhere from day one.

Directory listings are an add-on to the managed service, priced on a short call once we have seen where you stand.

Frequently asked questions

What are local citation services?

Work that lists a business on other directories and websites with the same name, address and phone number, and keeps those listings correct. At MapBoost it is an add-on to the managed Google Business Profile service, done by our team, and priced on a call. See the pricing page.

Do I need citations if I already have a Google Business Profile?

The Google profile matters most, but customers also look you up on Justdial, Apple Maps and Bing, and Google reads the web too. Listings that disagree with your profile, such as an old phone number, cost you calls and trust. Start with the free audit.

Which directories do you list businesses on?

Justdial, Bing, Apple Maps and more, chosen for your industry and city, and kept in sync with your Google Business Profile. When something changes on your profile, our team makes the same change on the other listings. See the what we do answers.

What is a citation builder?

It is a service that creates listings for a business across many directories. At MapBoost our team does the listing for you as an add-on, chooses directories that fit your industry and city, and fixes listings that are wrong. You do not fill anything in yourself. See profile optimization.

Is directory listing included in the monthly price?

No. It is an add-on, priced on a call after we have seen where you are listed today. The core service covers your Google Business Profile, where most customers find you first. India: ₹2,499* per location per month. Europe: €49 per location per month + VAT where applicable. Rest of the world: $49 per location per month. See pricing and billing.

What happens to my listings if I change my phone number or address?

Tell us once. Our team updates your Google Business Profile and, with the listings add-on, the same detail on every other directory we keep for you. Old numbers on forgotten listings are a common reason a customer calls the wrong place. Contact us to start.

Are there local citation services near me?

Our team does the work online for businesses in India, so you do not need a nearby office. We find your existing listings, fix them and add the ones that fit your industry and city. See which industries we serve.

What is NAP consistency in local citations?

NAP is name, address and phone. Consistency means those three details match, letter for letter, on every listing. When they disagree, customers get the wrong number and Google gets a mixed signal. Our team makes them match your profile and keeps them matching. See local SEO.

Can I buy local citations in bulk?

We do not sell them by the pile. Our team picks directories that fit your industry and city, corrects existing listings and keeps them in sync with your profile, which is more useful than a long list of listings nobody uses. Priced on a call. See the about page.

Is there local citation software I can use myself?

Software exists, but you would still have to run it, check the results and fix mistakes. With MapBoost you do not operate anything. Our team does the listing work for you as an add-on and keeps it current. See how we compare.

How do you fix duplicate listings of my business?

Our team first finds where you are listed today, including old listings and duplicates left behind by a move or a new phone number. We then correct them to match your Google profile. We cannot promise every directory will accept every change. See the free audit.

Do local citations help my Google Maps ranking?

They can help. Google says information from across the web is part of how it judges prominence, and consistent listings give a clearer picture of your business. We cannot promise a position. Our team checks your Google Maps ranking every week. See rank checks.

What is a GMB citation?

It means a listing of your business outside your Google profile, which was once called Google My Business. It repeats your name, address and phone number on another site. Our team keeps those details the same as your Google Business Profile. See profile optimization.
