What this tool does
Citations are simply mentions of your business details on other sites. Individually they are minor. Collectively they are how search engines corroborate that your business exists where you say it does.
The useful output is not a count. It is the gap list — the authoritative directories in your industry that have no record of you, and the ones holding an old address.
How to use it
Enter your business name and location.
Review which directories list you and which do not.
Claim or create the high-authority listings you are missing.
Correct any that hold outdated details before adding new ones.
Worth knowing
Fix before you build. Adding fifty new citations on top of a wrong address multiplies the problem instead of solving it. Correct what exists first, then fill the genuine gaps.
Questions
How many citations do I need?
There is no target number. Coverage of the directories that matter in your industry and country beats volume every time.
Do paid citation services work?
They save time but often create low-quality listings in bulk. A handful of authoritative, accurate listings outperforms hundreds of thin ones.
Do citations still matter?
Less than a decade ago, but consistency across major sources still underpins how confidently search engines treat your location data.
