Let’s get real: if you’re not being found online, you’re not in the game. Business listings—also known as citations—might not hold the same SEO weight they once did, but they’re still a huge piece of the puzzle when it comes to local visibility. If people can't find your business, guess what? They’ll find your competition.
So, what’s the play here? Making sure you’re listed on every relevant directory out there—especially the niche ones your customers trust. And that’s where Citation Tracker from GMB Fox comes into the picture.
We’ll walk through how you can use Citation Tracker to uncover hidden listing opportunities that’ll skyrocket your business's online presence. Spoiler alert: we’re talking more eyes on your business and more cash in your pocket.
1. The Power of Key Citations
You know the big players: Yelp, Google My Business, Tripadvisor. But there’s a whole other world of niche directories you might not even know exist. Enter Citation Tracker’s Key Citations tab. Once you run your report, this tab will show you the major citation sites you’re already on and, more importantly, the ones you’re not.
Not listed on a key site? No sweat. Citation Tracker gives you a simple “+” icon next to any missing listings. Click it, and boom—you’re taken directly to the site to add your business. No more playing detective, trying to track down where your business needs to be listed.
As one of our users said, “It’s like having a treasure map, but for business listings.”
2. Competitor Citations: Out-Hustle the Competition
Think you’re already covered? Not so fast. Citation Tracker goes a step further, letting you peek into your competitors’ backyards. The Competitor Citations tab shows where your competition is listed—and where you’re falling short.
Here’s how you use this feature like a pro:
Open your Citation Tracker report.
Check out the Competitor Citations tab.
See all the citations your top competitors have that you don’t.
Citation Tracker even highlights the sites worth going after by showing Citation Authority and Citation Value. Translation: it helps you zero in on the sites that’ll give your business the biggest local ranking boost.
Pro tip: Prioritize citations with the highest authority scores first. It’s like playing the stock market, but way less risky.
The Bottom Line
Here’s the deal: Citation Tracker isn't just about filling in the blanks—it’s about taking your business from being “just another listing” to being the listing everyone finds. And in a world where most customers won’t go past the first few results, that matters. A lot.
In a digital world where visibility is everything, GMB Fox ensures your business isn’t just online—it’s the first choice customers make. Let us handle the complexities of digital marketing, so you can focus on what truly matters: growing your business.
