A local SEO citation is a reference to your business's name, address, and phone number (NAP) in a variety of local directories. You create a citation by registering your business on any number of local directory sites.
Citations are important for search engines because they tell search engines it's safe to trust your business. Citations also make it easier for local consumers to find your business.
