The Brutal Reality I
The Brutal Reality
Citation building takes 20+ hours per client & mistakes tank rankings.
You need to contact 70-80 directories just to secure 50 live citations. That's 25+ hours of spreadsheet management per client.
01
DIY Is a Time Sink →
Researching directories, 50+ fields per form, image uploads, and email verification. 20–25 hours of tedious manual work per client.
02
Automation Risks →
Automated tools create duplicate listings, NAP inconsistencies, and spam footprints (identical content) — exactly the patterns Google penalises.
03
Hiring Is Expensive →
A specialist costs $40k–55k/year. Full-service agencies charge thousands with 6-month contracts. It doesn't scale across a client roster.

FAQ VIII
Common Questions
Frequently asked
questions.
i.How is this different from automated services like Yext?
Fundamental difference: Manual submission vs. automated distribution. Automated services distribute identical content to a fixed network, often creating duplicates because they don't audit first. Our service includes a comprehensive audit to prevent duplicates, uses manual submission for unique descriptions, and finds competitor sources. Plus, you pay once and own the credentials forever, whereas automated services require a monthly subscription.
ii.How long until we see ranking improvements?
Typical timeline is 30-60 days for measurable movement. Week 1 is delivery. Weeks 2-3 Google indexes. Weeks 4-5 Google validates consistency. By Weeks 6-8, consistent ranking improvements (3-5 positions) are typically visible. Faster results (21-30 days) occur in low competition markets or when major NAP inconsistencies are fixed.
iii.Which package is right for my client?
Basic ($50): Small markets (<30k pop) or supplementing existing profile. Pro ($80): Medium markets (30k-500k pop), most professional services. This is the default choice for 80% of campaigns. Advanced ($150): Major metro areas (500k+), high competition niches (Law, Medical), or if stuck outside top 10.
iv.What information do I need to provide?
Just the basics (takes 3 minutes): Business Name, Address, Phone, Website URL, GBP URL, and Industry. Optional: Hours, Services, Logo. We handle content research, writing, image sourcing, and everything else.
v.Do you claim existing listings?
We focus on building *new* citations. We identify existing/unclaimed listings in our audit and provide guidance, but we do not claim them as part of the standard package because it often requires phone verification with the client.
vi.Can this work for Service Area Businesses (SABs)?
Yes, absolutely. We use the registered business address (which doesn't need to be customer-facing) and define the service area in the descriptions (e.g., "Serving Dallas and surrounding areas"). Results are similar to brick-and-mortar businesses.
vii.Are these permanent or do they require maintenance?
Permanent. No monthly fees, no subscription. You own the accounts. We offer a 90-day replacement guarantee if any citation goes down (rare).
viii.Can you handle multi-location businesses?
Yes. Each location needs its own campaign to ensure geo-targeted citations and unique NAP. We offer volume discounts: 10% off for 5-9 orders, 15% off for 10-19 orders.
ix.Is this white-label?
100% White-Label. Reports have no branding. You can add your logo and present it as your own. We never contact your clients.
x.What happens if submissions get rejected?
We over-submit by 10-15% to account for rejections. If a directory rejects a listing, we submit to a replacement directory until you get the full citation count you paid for (50/100/200 *live* citations).
