Local SEO | GMB & Local Citations Expert | Link Building
I am a superb specialist in local SEO, local citations, citation audits and citation cleanup, citation building, Google My Business optimization and link building. I do work manually and provide high authority, top local citations for local businesses located anywhere. I have been working as a citation builder for the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Spain, Germany, Ireland, Singapore, the Netherlands, France and also other countries. I can solve any problem that has to do with Google local citations. On Upwork, I have successfully completed more than 17,600+ hours of work and 120+ projects 😲🏆 Here's how I approach managing local citation projects: Step 1: 👉Citation Audit: Consistency in local business citations might help or hurt your local SEO efforts. If you create a Google My Business listing or local listing for a business that already exists on that website (such as a closed company with the same name, address, or other information), you’ll start creating duplicates that will make all your work useless. So have to work first on these: Search for existing citations. Firstly, I use several search engines, online business directories and social media platforms to see where your business information appears. Search with your (NAPW information) company name, address, phone number and website individually and in combination. If I find matches, I will collect those links in a spreadsheet. Identify inconsistent or duplicate citations. After finding existing listings, I pay close attention to finding inconsistent or duplicate local SEO citations. Also, I will keep those links in the spreadsheet. Step 2: 👉Create an industry-specific and location-based business directory: I will submit your business information to niche directories and location-based directories that help search engines associate your business with specific industries. Step 3: 👉Create new citations: I create new local listings manually that do not already exist. I use 100% accurate NAP on all directories, which enhances your Google business listing's online presence, local ranking positions, and Google trust. I include all important information like business name, business address, phone number, website, description, relevant category, keywords, business hours, payment methods, establishment year, photos, videos, social media links, and other details that would be useful for potential customers. Step 4: 👉Competitor Citations: I will research your competitor’s citations in the top directory listing to understand their approaches and determine what works and what doesn't for your target audience. To rank for the extremely competitive keywords that drive sales, you need to know what the top competitors in your niche are doing and go above and beyond. This is why, I find the top five competitors in your niche and show their number of citations, domain authority (DA), number of reviews and photos. Step 5: 👉Citation Clean-up: In Step 1, I have already identified inconsistent or duplicate citations. So this time, I claim/update incorrect nap citations and remove duplicate listings. Step 6: 👉Detailed reporting: I will give you a spreadsheet with detailed reporting where you will get live URL of all submitted links, login details (username, email, password) other important notes. I am strongly experienced in Brightlocal , Whitespark , Yext , Ahrefs, Semrush and Moz tools. I only use these tools to do rank tracking, competitor analysis, and find new resources. Familiar with Asana, Trello, Monday.com, Slack, Smartsheet and more.
