Citation building and listings cleanup for Indianapolis small businesses. We fix wrong and duplicate listings and add the core ones, so Google and AI tools see one set of facts.
02
Old addresses and duplicate listings quietly cost you calls.
- Every directory that shows an old phone number or a past address sends a customer to a dead end. It also gives Google and AI tools two versions of your business, and they trust neither as much as they should.
- Old address still listed
- Wrong phone numbers out there
- Duplicate listings competing

What our citation building covers
Listings audit
We find where your business is listed and where the name, address, phone or website is wrong or out of date.
Duplicate cleanup
Second listings for the same business, often from an old address or a past owner, merged or removed where the site allows.
Corrections
Wrong details fixed at the source, starting with the directories Google and customers lean on most.
New core listings
Your business added to the main directories and the ones that matter for your industry, where it is missing.
Data aggregators
Your details sent to the data suppliers that feed many smaller sites and apps, so fixes spread over time.
Your logins
Every listing set up under your business email, with logins you keep. Nothing is held hostage.
Local citation building, explained
Citation building is listing your business with the right name, address and phone on the directories Google and AI tools check, and fixing the listings that are already wrong. A citation is any mention of those details online, like your Yelp page, Bing Places listing or an industry directory. When they all match, Google can be more confident about where you are and what you do. Our guide to NAP consistency explains why that matters.
Listings feed more than Google Maps. ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google’s AI features build answers partly from directory data, so a wrong phone number on a popular site can end up repeated in an AI answer. Clean listings help your map rankings and help AI tools describe you correctly. Our list of local citation sites shows where most small businesses should be listed.
Cleanup matters most after a change. If you have moved, rebranded or switched phone numbers, old details can linger for years. Our guide on how to change your business address covers the order to update things. Citation work is also one part of our wider Indianapolis SEO service, alongside your Google Business Profile, reviews and website, because listings work best when the rest of your local presence agrees with them.

Citation building questions
Can you fix our business listings?
Yes. We find listings with wrong or old details, correct them where the site allows, clean up duplicates and add the core listings you are missing. Some sites are slow to update, so a few fixes take longer than others.
What is citation building?
It is getting your business listed with the right name, address and phone on the directories Google and AI tools check, and fixing the ones that are wrong. Matching listings help Google trust your details.
How long does listing cleanup take?
Many fixes show soon after they are made, but data aggregators and the sites they feed can take weeks to a few months to update. Ranking gains from local SEO usually build over 3 to 6 months.
Who owns the listings you create?
You do. Listings are set up under your business email wherever possible, and you keep the logins. If you ever stop working with us, everything stays with you.
