Nice work. Every directory on your list is claimed. Print it for your records or revisit any listing above.

NAP consistency worksheet

Fill this in once. Then copy it and paste the exact same details into every listing above. Identical name, address, and phone (NAP) everywhere is what builds trust with Google and AI engines. This stays in your browser only.

Tip: keep this tab open while you submit each listing.

The directories that actually move local rankings

Citations (online listings of your business name, address, and phone) are one of the oldest and most durable local-ranking signals. The problem is there are hundreds of directories and most are a waste of time. This builder cuts the noise: pick your trade and state and get the prioritized, real list that matters, with a submit link for each and a checkbox so you can work through it without losing your place.

How it works

We start with the universal core every local business needs (Google Business Profile, Bing Places, Apple Business Connect, Facebook, Yelp, Nextdoor, the BBB, Yellow Pages, Foursquare, and the data aggregators that quietly feed dozens of other sites). Then we add the directories that are specific to your trade, the ones your customers actually use to find and vet you. Each row links straight to where you claim or submit your listing, and your checkbox progress is saved in your browser so it is still there when you come back.

Why NAP consistency matters

NAP stands for name, address, and phone. When those three details are byte-for-byte identical everywhere you are listed, search engines and AI engines are far more confident that your business is real and located where you claim. Mismatches (an old phone number on one site, a suite number missing on another) split your signals and can quietly hold you out of the map pack. The worksheet here lets you write your NAP once and copy it into every listing, so nothing drifts.

Free vs the paid citation tools

Whitespark Citation Finder runs about $79/mo, BrightLocal Citation Tracker is $39 to $59/mo, and Yext and Moz Local are subscription products too. They are good at scanning and syndicating. But the part most small businesses actually need first, a clear, prioritized list of where to be, is something we give you free, tailored by trade and state, with submit links and a NAP worksheet built in. When you want every existing listing audited and corrected automatically, that is where a paid service (ours included) earns its keep.

Pro tips

Frequently asked questions

What is a local citation?
A citation is any online mention of your business name, address, and phone number, usually on a directory or listing site like Google Business Profile, Yelp, or an industry directory. Consistent citations help search engines trust that your business is real and located where you say it is.
Which directories should I claim first?
Start with the universal core that almost every business needs: Google Business Profile, Bing Places, Apple Business Connect, Facebook, and Yelp. Then add the trade-specific directories your customers actually use, such as Angi and Thumbtack for home trades or Healthgrades and Zocdoc for medical practices.
Why does NAP consistency matter?
NAP stands for name, address, and phone. When those three details are identical everywhere you are listed, search engines and AI engines are more confident your business is legitimate. Mismatched or outdated listings split your signals and can hurt your visibility in the map pack.
Is this tool actually free?
Yes. The checklist, the submit links, the NAP worksheet, and the print function are all free with no signup. Paid citation tools like Whitespark, BrightLocal, Yext, and Moz Local charge monthly. Our checklist gives you the same prioritized roadmap tailored by trade and state.
Does this scan my existing listings for accuracy?
No. This tool shows you where to list and tracks your own progress with checkboxes saved in your browser. A live audit that checks every existing listing for name, address, and phone accuracy across the web is part of our paid local SEO service.
