Boosting Local Visibility Through Citation Services
The Client.
Our client, a locally-owned boutique hotel with a unique selection of services, approached us to enhance their online visibility and attract more customers to their physical location.
Local Citation.
We thoroughly audited existing citations across online directories, review sites, and maps. Identifying inaccuracies and inconsistencies, we embarked on a cleanup process to ensure all listings were accurate and uniform.
Post-audit, we strategically created new citations in reputable and niche-specific directories, focusing on those with high domain authority and relevance to the local area and the boutique’s market.
We set up a system for continuous monitoring of the boutique's online citations. This allows us to quickly address any discrepancies and update information as needed, keeping the listings fresh and accurate.
