Top Citation Sources for Plumber & Plumbing Contractors

As I have described in my posts on Google Places Optimization Fundamentals & Advanced Google Places Optimization Strategies there are 3 major determinants to placement on the Google Map 1. Proper Claiming & Optimization of your Google Places Listing 2. Having a Consistent N.A.P (Name, Address, Phone Number) Profile across the web via Citation Development (getting listed on all the major online directory sites with the same name, address & phone number) 3. Reviews & Google’s Confidence in your True Service Area (see my post on Google Places Optimization Black Belt Technique for more on this). On this post I want to address #2, establishing your NAP Profile across the web via Citation Development. Below is a list of what I have found to be the most important places to ensure that you company is listed in with the same Name, Address & Phone Number.

Using information pulled by GetListed.org via their Whitespark’s Local Citation Finder they searched Google for the most common keywords within 70 local search categories across 53 large US cities, 20 medium-sized cities, and 20 smaller cities. They then scored the sites inversely based on ranking position combined with overall number of occurrences. The sites that appeared most often and with the highest rankings were deemed “best.”
