What you get

Perfectly optimized listings on the most important sites

Careful, manual work is done by our in-house listing experts to rigorously audit, clean up, optimize, and build listings on sites that matter the most to your local search presence. Errors are corrected, duplicates are removed, new listings are built, and existing listings are enhanced with rich information such as photos, categories, descriptions, and more.

Expanded local footprint

We’ll build you new listings over and above the list of sites we do our exhaustive cleanup on — resulting in the maximum number of optimized listings for your business, and improved local rankings. We’ll also keep an eye out for inconsistencies on these sites, and clean up anything we can.

Detailed, white label-friendly report

You’ll receive a detailed report with links to all your listings, usernames & passwords, listing statuses, and notes from the team. The report is unbranded, and easy to pass along as a deliverable to your clients or team members.

Ongoing support (without ongoing fees)

You’ll have access to dedicated support throughout the project and any time after the work is complete.
New phone number? Change of address? No problem — only pay for updates when you need them! Just let us know what changes you need and we’ll manually update your listings quickly and carefully for just $2/listing.

How we stack up

Whitespark vs automated systems
(like Yext, Synup, etc)

Better results
Our competitors’ automated systems often miss many inconsistencies and don’t address duplicates at all unless you’re a large enterprise or agency partner. Our dedicated listing team leaves no stone unturned in the pursuit of perfecting your listings on all the most important sites.
Much lower cost
Whitespark costs less up front and much less over the long term, thanks to our manual approach that doesn’t lock you into a recurring fee.
Do you really need to be paying every year for your local listings?
You own the listings
Listings created with most automated platforms are tied to their system (and your continued patronage). Listings we create are completely independent. You’ll have a username and password for each one — just as if you created them yourself!
If you’re currently using Yext, and looking to get out — our Yext Replacement Service was made for you!

Whitespark vs BrightLocal

Incredible support
Customers who switch to us say they love how responsive and helpful our support is compared to BrightLocal's.
Painstaking cleanup
When you hire us to audit and clean up your listings, we pore over every detail to ensure that all possible duplicate listings are removed and every inaccuracy is corrected.
No corners cut
Customers that switch to Whitespark tell us that they appreciate our attention to detail, and the extra care we take to ensure data accuracy, completeness, and proper optimization on their listings.
Slightly higher cost
Our service is designed to be very affordable — but we’re not the absolute cheapest option. Our offering is also a bit different from BrightLocal’s, which makes simple dollar-to-dollar comparisons a bit tricky. See our pricing.

20K+ customers have used Listings Service to optimize their local footprint, and improve their rankings

Whitespark, specifically James Dreesen, did a great job with our citation cleanup and audit. The customer service was fantastic all around and it was a successful venture. They were easy to reach, very nice to talk with and extremely fast. I have nothing but great things to say about Whitespark.

Whitespark’s citation building service has been a great resource for our citation campaigns. Knowing that their team is trained and capable of producing good work allows us to focus on the hundred other things we need to work on during a local SEO campaign, and helps us produce faster results for our local clients.

Kane Jamison

I started using Whitespark’s Citation Service when it was first introduced and haven’t questioned that decision since. We work with a lot of SMB’s and this service is a perfect compliment to their overall search strategies. Not to mention Whitespark’s customer service, which is impeccable.

Mark Kennedy

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.

Dan Shure
Evolving 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. Plus, the more you use their services, the more discounts you receive. I have been using this service for years and have no plans to stop!

Colleen Wright

What can I say that hasn’t already been said about this fantastic company?! This is my first time using Whitespark for citation building and reporting and I’m already preparing their spreadsheet for our next client! Their process is clear and simple, the communication is timely and helpful, and the work is impeccable. If you’re doing your own Local SEO or you’re an agency looking to outsource work, this is your place.

You probably don’t need to do this very often, which is one of the biggest drawbacks of services with a recurring pricing model. But when you do, we make it easy to get listings updated — be it a new phone number, change of address, or an update to your operating hours. Just let us know which location needs updating, give us the applicable information, and we’ll get your listings updated within 2 weeks. There is a one time fee of $2 per listing to perform these updates. Most businesses don’t change this info very often, if ever, so with Whitespark, you only pay for updates when you need them. To place a listing update order, please contact our support team.

Absolutely. All our reports are delivered unbranded, and we can work through an email account on your agency’s domain. Just select the “white-label” option when you place your order.

This service is ideal for businesses looking to clean up inconsistent and/or listings. There are a variety of reasons why a business may have inconsistent/duplicate listings. If you have changed your business name, address, and/or phone number (NAP), there is a very good chance that you are in need of this service.

Having a consistent NAP across your listings is important when it comes to your local search rankings. If you change one of these elements and don’t update all your listings, new listings will automatically generate with the new business details which will coexist with the old ones. This can ultimately impact your local search rankings, as well as your customers' experience and impression of your business.

If you can’t remember if all your listings were updated after your last location, name or phone number change, just take a few moments to run a search on your business. If your business has inaccurate listings floating around, they will show up in the search results. Also, pay attention to the feedback you get from customers. If clients continually tell your staff that they called several phone numbers before reaching you, or if they were directed by online maps to your old location address only to learn that the business had moved, there is a good chance that you are in need of a cleanup.

When you place an order, you will be prompted to provide us with your business information in your Listings Service dashboard. Your project officially gets added to our work queue when we receive your completed intake data.

We expect to have the project “completed” within 4-6 weeks (or less) from that date. Please note that your project will spend the first few weeks working its way up our queue, so during this time no work will be done on the project.

Yes. The only site included in our service that requires payment is Localeze, when a new account is created for a business. This initial sign up fee is included in the cost of our service.

The Localeze subscription expires after one year but if requested, our team can assist with re-claiming the listing so it is permanently controlled by the business owner. If you do not wish to re-claim after one year, the listing will remain as-is, but you will not be able to submit any future edits without claiming.

Some of your listings may require phone or document verification. Once we reach that point in your order, we will contact you, and provide you with detailed instructions on how to complete the required verifications so that you’re able to complete them. Should you need any help in completing these, please contact our support team, and we be happy to help!
Whitespark builds tools and provides services that help businesses and agencies with local search marketing. We live and breathe local search and we’re known far and wide for writing and speaking on it.
