Local Citation Cleanup Service
Having problems ranking locally? The #1 Problem With Local Campaigns is Inconsistent Citations. We will fix it all for you and get you ranking!
Why Citation Remediation?
After reviewing 1000’s of Local SEO Campaigns, we’ve seen it time and time again: The biggest factor that holds you back from getting awesome results in local is having incorrect or inconsistent citations. This is the #3 negative ranking factor according to David Mihms (SEOMoz) most recent ranking factors survey (1).
This can happen for a number of reasons:
- You move and get a new address
- You get a new phone number
- You have variations of your name
- Aggregators just pick up incorrect information about your business and display the incorrect NAP.
This can result in big problems and paralyzed rankings. Each citation you have is a “vote” for you to rank higher. If these votes are going to different NAP combinations, there’s no way you can collect the juice you need to rank higher
These need to be fixed, and we are going to do it for you!
What We Do
Fixing these issues isn’t an easy ordeal. Every citation source is different and as a result, a lot of manual labor is required to contact each site to correct the information.
This is why we put together our Local Citation Clean Up Service, where you can just push a button and our team of trained experts will:
- Complete A Full Citation Audit For Your Business
- Locate All The Incorrect Information
- Contact Each Citation Source Individually
- Conduct 2 Rounds of Manual Outreach to Fix The Citation Issues
- Deliver Detailed, Comprehensive Report
We do this all to make sure you have the best opportunity to rank (and crush your competitors). We essentially do all the work for you, and give you a pretty report at the end.
How HOTH Citation Cleanup Works
Every order starts with a complete audit of existing citations. We don’t just fix a set list of sites, we actually look at your entire profile and determine every single incorrect citation out there and document it.
Since every citation source is different, we created an internal Standard Operating Procedure for each site so we know the best protocol for getting your citations corrected. We conduct 2 rounds of manual outreach via email, so we set up an email on your behalf and document all communications.
Using the information you’ve provided us, we update the citations we have access to, and manually reach out to the rest of the directories and submit a request on your behalf to have the information there be consistent with your correct NAP.
We’ll deliver a report with all the citations that we corrected, including any parting recommendations.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Am I paying per business or location?
You are paying per location or per NAP.
-
Do you check the data aggregators?
Yes, we visit Acxiom, Neustar Localeze, Infogroup, Factual and even Foursquare!
-
Will you add pictures / change around my existing profiles?
If you have the logins for the properties, we can change them up. The problem is almost no one does. If not, it’s much harder to get the stuff changed, and this obviously what we can do differs per directory so it’s not something that we “sell” as something we do on our sales page for the service. The chief thing that we’re mostly concerned about is the biz name, address & phone which is really what’s going to mess up your results if anything.
-
How do you get around doing phone confirmations?
Relationships mostly. We’ve been mailing directories for the better part of 2+ years. Day in, day out. They have come to recognize us, and are usually pretty accommodating for the most part. A small percent of directories are harder to cooperate with. Usually these types of places aren’t too important anyways in the grand scheme of things.
-
I got my order report back and I see some of the directory listings say “pending”. What does that mean?
For any incorrect citations you have, our team does two rounds of outreach to every directory. After that, it’s up to you if you’d like to continue the outreach process on your own.
