Local Business Citations
Local business citations are mentions of your business name, address, phone number and web address on web pages other than your own. Google Places is a business citation. Not all listings include a link to your website, however your basic business information can be found and indexed by the major search engines Google, Yahoo! and Bing.A company with a large number of local business citations ranks higher in search engines than a company with a few citations. Also, businesses that have citations from established, trusted and well-indexed directories will have a higher ranking in search engines than businesses with citations from destinations with less traffic, a lower Alexa rating or questionable reliability.
