An experienced Atlanta SEO company understands how to optimize citations in ways that drive more relevant customers to your website and locations. Here’s everything you need to know about citation optimization.
The Impact of Data Aggregators
The four most popular data aggregators are Localeze, Infogroup, Acxiom, and Factual. Search engines crawl these companies’ databases when trying to provide information to a searcher. This is where most online citations come from, and each aggregator has significant influence on determining local organic rankings.
Essentially, the more citations your local company has, the more likely you will appear in the top five positions on Google and other search engines. These aggregators provide data that help businesses appear within:
- Google Maps
- Bing Local
- Yahoo Local
- Apple/Siri
- Yellow Pages
These platforms are just a few of the sources that receive information from data aggregators. By not optimizing your online citations, you run the risk of not being identified and sought out by relevant online consumers.
