# Citations & Listings Management

> Citations are listings of your business name, address and phone number on directories, maps and data aggregators. We find every listing, fix the ones that are wrong, remove duplicates, and add you to the directories that matter for your industry and New Hampshire, so search engines and AI tools see one consistent business.

When a business moves from Concord to Hooksett, dozens of listings still show the old address unless someone fixes them.

## Why it matters now
Inconsistent listings confuse Google and AI assistants about which details are current. Clean citations support map rankings and stop assistants from quoting outdated information.

## What is included
- Citation audit across major directories and aggregators
- Duplicate listing cleanup
- NAP corrections after moves or rebrands
- Industry and New Hampshire directory submissions
- Chamber of commerce and association listings
- Ongoing monitoring

## How we do it
1. **Find.** Scan for every listing and variation.
2. **Correct.** Fix details and merge duplicates.
3. **Build.** Add missing high-value listings.
4. **Monitor.** Watch for changes and new errors.

## Deliverables
- Citation audit
- Correction log
- New listings list
- Monitoring report

## Who it is for

## Frequently asked questions
### Do citations still matter?

Consistency matters more than volume. A few accurate listings on trusted sites beat hundreds of low-quality directories.

### Will you create listings on spammy directories?

No. We only use directories that real customers or data aggregators use.
