Increase your local search rankings

Discover citation opportunities

The Local Citation Finder identifies all the citations for your top ranked competition and compares them against the citations you already have to reveal the exact citation opportunities you’re missing out on. A single search uncovers hundreds of opportunities that you can get to improve your local search rankings.

Find ALL your citations

Unlike other tools that only scan for listings on specific sites, the Local Citation Finder scours the entire internet to find all the places that your business is mentioned: directories, blogs, newspaper sites, government sites, etc. You’ll finally get a comprehensive list of all your citations.

Make citation building easy

Your results are automatically sorted by “submittability”, so you can go straight to the sites that will let you quickly and easily submit your business to get a new citation and link for your business. Nice!

Analyze your competitors citations

Quickly see at a glance how your citations stack up against the competition, and see the specific citations of each competitor. Download the chart in PDF or CSV formats.

A Citation is any mention of your business on the web, with or without a link. It is any combination of your company name, phone number, address, zip or postal code. Citations can also be structured or unstructured.

  • Structured citations are the most common form and can be found on business listing sites.
  • Unstructured citation sources are mentions of your business on blogs, newspaper websites, event listings, job databases, government websites and so on.
