CITATION BUILDING

In the early years of Google, the quantity of links built determined how well a website would rank. In the past few years of local SEO, the number of citations was more important than the quality, but that is no longer the case. When building local citations in 2015 you want to focus on respected citation sites and niche specific citation sites. Here is a list of general sites that are still worth building local citations on:


•2findlocal – no-follow

•411 -follow

•8coupons -follow

•ABLocal – no-follow

•AirYell – citation and follow link to video

•AmericanTowns - follow

Maybe that 3-400 isn't such a bad deal after all. Ha!
