Local Citation Checklist

Check business listing consistency, Google Business Profile completeness, local landing page coverage, and review trust signals.

Check what is already true for the business. This is a readiness checklist, not a live directory scan.

Business name is identical on the website, Google Business Profile, and major citations. Address uses one canonical format across the website, Google Business Profile, directories, and map platforms. Primary phone number is consistent and uses the same local or tracking policy everywhere. Website URL points to the canonical local landing page from Google Business Profile and citations. Google Business Profile categories, services, hours, photos, and description are complete. Core citation platforms for the market and industry are claimed or corrected. Local landing pages include unique service area details, NAP, schema, and internal links. Review profile has a steady response process and avoids gating or incentives.

Local citation readiness: 0/100

Start by checking the business identity signals that appear across Maps, directories, and local pages.

How to use this checklist

Local citation work is about consistency and trust. Fix the business identity first, then expand into market-specific citations, reviews, and local landing pages.
