I have been using Whitespark pretty often over the last few months to help me build out additional local citation for some of my clients, and every time I am thrilled with the customer service I receive. Isha and the rest of the Whitespark team have been a pleasure to work with. They are always available to answer my questions and they respond very promptly. I would highly recommend using their citation services. I can already see a difference in my clients online presence.Samantha S

Life saver, time saver, and gets results. Whitespark's citation submission (very) noticeably improved ranking for both my website and my client's sites. Also excited to try out their ranking tracker to provide more detailed keyword reports to my clients. Both Whitespark's tools/services are awesomeSee all Google Reviews -
Whitespark does what they say they are going to do...with excellence. I have used other citation builders in the past. The citations are incomplete and there are mistakes. Clean, concise, "powerful" listings. Would also like to mention that their customer service is great! They (Isha specifically) are kind and professional. Highly recommend. Highly trust. -
I can't think of a bigger "no-brainer" local optimization service to utilize than Whitespark's Citation Building Service. Just do it! There's no possible way you can lose. The value/reward ratio is unbeatable. In fact, you're losing out by not using this fantastic service! It's the first thing I tell any local business to do if they're trying to improve their local SEO. -
Whitespark is professional and takes the time to make sure the profile you build matches your Google Listing. My clients consistently get to page one for local search when I employ their services.

How We Build Citations
Building citations for local SEO is a time-consuming process. Years of experience have taught us the tricks of the trade. We follow a careful process with each citation building project.
Review the supplied information
We always check if the provided information is accurate and complete. If we find any inconsistencies between the information you supplied and what’s online, we’ll get in touch to sort it out. We ask for as many details as possible, because complete and comprehensive listings will improve your local rankings.
Check for existing citations
First, we identify your existing citations with the Local Citation Finder. Then — as we’re building citations — we check each site individually to ensure we never create duplicate listings, and to look for any NAP inconsistencies.
Create a local citations list
After we get a list of your existing citations, we prepare a list of new citation opportunities using our huge database of business listing sites. We start with the highest quality sources and work our way down the list. If you already have a listing in a high priority source, we will check if it is up-to-date and if it is not, we will update it in the “Build Citations!” phase.
Build citations!
We list your business on the citation sources BY HAND and we make sure to include as much information as possible. The more complete and comprehensive the citations are, the more they benefit your local rankings.
Send you a report
Once we have completed the job, we’ll send you a detailed report with a list of URLs to all of the listings we created, the status of each listing (approved, pending, already existed), usernames and passwords for the sites, and any comments. This report is unbranded so SEO agencies can simply pass them on to their clients without modifications. Your work will be completed and you’ll have your report within four weeks of placing your order. (Please note: due to overwhelming demand, we are currently delivering projects within 6 to 8 weeks.)
NAP Changes? No problem, we can update your citations
In the future, if your business moves, gets a new phone number, changes it’s name, or any business data changes, we can help you refresh the citations we built. Businesses are dynamic, and it’s important that your business information is too. For a one time fee of $2 per citation we can refresh any previous citation building order. Contact our support team to order a refresh or if you have any questions about it.

For any citation(s) that we’re not able to update, we can either replace them with brand new citations on different directories or credit your account for a future citation order, or refund you.
