Citations could be the secret weapon your business needs for SEO success.

Citations are like people who know you. The more people that know you, the easier you are to find. That may not sound like a good thing but when it comes to your business and SEO, that is exactly what you want.

Citations help google become more confident about the legitimacy of your business.

There’s no such as too many citations but there is such thing as incorrect citations. When you list your site on a new directory you should follow the NAP structure.
- Name
- Address
- Phone number
And these pieces of information should be the same across the board.

As far as where you should list yourself? There are 3 categories of directories you want to be in.

Generic - general listings of businesses
- Yelp, Angie’s list
Niche - directories related to your business niche
- If you run a restaurant, GrubHub would be an example
Geo - Directories made specifically for your area
- Your local Chamber of Commerce

Improving Your Website's Content for Better SEO

Think of the search engine like a library and your site like a book. If someone is looking for a specific thing, your website (“book”) needs to genuinely be the best result for that person.

In the world of SEO its not just about using the right keywords; it's about providing genuinely valuable information that your audience is searching for.

Let's say you're a tax lawyer. Your website should be a top resource specifically about tax law, not just general legal advice. It should explain tax laws clearly and detail the services you offer as a tax lawyer. The goal is to establish your website as the ultimate authority in your field.

- A FAQ section to answer questions quickly
- Individual pages outlining the details about the services you offer
- The difference in the types of lawyers so someone knows if they are in the right spot
- Reviews and Case studies that showcase your results
- Your background as a tax lawyer with certification

Additionally, a blog can be a game-changer for your website. It provides informative, original content and ensures your website stays updated regularly, which are crucial factors for SEO success.

Some other ideas for a blog or other content to have on your site can be

- Things to do in your city
- Gives google more hints to where you are actually based out of
- look at what your competitors talk about
- Blog posts
- New things about your industry
- It pays to be up to date on trending topics within your industry
