The directories where your competitors are, and you aren’t
Citation PRO analyzes the businesses already ranking for your service in your city and finds where they’re listed. And it checks whether your details add up wherever you already appear.
Discover directories by analyzing the businesses already ranking for your service in your city.
Every directory, scored with score, domain and page authority, type and price.
An audit of your details: it tells you whether your name, address and phone number match in every mention.
Competitor comparison: how many directories each one is in, and how many you’re in.
A prioritized to-do list, with what you’ve already done kept apart from what’s left.
Your business is in more places than you think
And not always with the right details. An old phone number here, half your name there, your address from before the move somewhere else.
Google gets suspicious
When it finds three different versions of your phone number, it can’t tell which one is right. And when in doubt, it shows whoever has clear details.
Your customers get lost
They call a number that no longer exists or go to an address you’ve moved out of. They don’t write to let you know: they go to someone else.
Nobody checks
It’s tedious, repetitive work with no visible short-term payoff. That’s why almost no business does it, and why doing it sets you apart from your competitors.
How Citation PRO works
You choose the keyword and the city. The tool does the rest of the analysis.
Tell us what you do and where
You pick a keyword and a location. Citation PRO suggests keywords based on the services in your own Google Business Profile, so you don’t have to make anything up: “locksmith”, “locksmiths madrid”, “lock replacement”.
It analyzes who’s already on top
It finds the businesses ranking for that keyword in that area and tracks down where they’re listed. The result isn’t a generic list of directories: it’s the directories that actually work in your industry and your city, because your competitors are using them.
It checks where you appear, and with what details
At the same time, it finds your current mentions (including the ones you didn’t create) and compares name, address, phone and website with the official details on your profile. It doesn’t just say “there’s an error”: it tells you which one.
You get the list of what’s missing
The directories you’re not in yet are grouped as opportunities, sorted by score. You check off the ones you complete and dismiss the ones you don’t care about, so the list shrinks instead of growing.
The ones that matter, not all of them
Being in a thousand irrelevant directories gets you nowhere, and signing up for all of them takes weeks. That’s why every directory comes with its own scorecard, and you decide where to start.
Score
The directory’s overall score: how much being there is worth to you.
DA and PA
Authority of the domain and of the specific page where your listing would end up.
Type
General, niche for your industry, local to your area, or social network.
Price
Free, freemium or paid. You know the cost before you sign up.
Signup effort
Low, medium or high, so you can start with what takes five minutes.
Category
Whether the directory is general or specific to your line of business.
Anything that doesn’t fit goes to the ignored list and stops showing up. The idea is for the list to empty out, not to overwhelm you.
It doesn’t just tell you something’s wrong: it tells you what
For every mention it finds, Citation PRO compares name, address, phone and website with the details on your profile, and writes up the diagnosis in plain language. No code tables.
All four details match your profile. Nothing to fix here.
The name appears abbreviated and the address is shown in a slightly different format, but the location and phone number clearly match.
The street and number match, but the postal code differs from the one you provided.
It also counts your social profiles and groups all the URLs from the same site, so you can see at a glance how many of your listings are floating around out there. And if you know of one it hasn’t detected, you can add it by hand.
Step back and see the whole board
The competitors tab lists the businesses that show up for your keywords in your area, with their rating and, above all, the number of directories they’re listed in. It’s the fastest way to see whether whoever is ahead of you got there through work or luck.
How many directories each competitor is in, and how many you’re in.
Which keywords each one shows up for, including their secondary categories.
Authority potential: what you can gain compared with what your competitors already have.
A competitor’s summary card: how many directories it’s in and how many times it has come up in your analyses.
How many credits each analysis uses
Tracking down the competitors for a keyword in a specific area has a real cost, so Citation PRO runs on credits. No fine print:
100
credits per analysis
One analysis is one keyword in one location. Results stay saved: you don’t pay to look at them again.
100
per month per location
On every plan. Each profile has its own balance: it isn’t shared with the others or moved from one to another.
↻
renewed every month
Included credits don’t roll over: each profile’s balance starts fresh every month. The ones you buy separately do stay, because they never expire.
In other words: one analysis a month on each of your profiles, without paying anything extra. And the work that comes out of a single analysis adds up to weeks of signups. If you want to run more analyses on the same profile or unlock the more advanced features, you can buy extra credits: one-time payment, no subscription and no expiry.
More citations, more trust
In a real analysis of locksmiths in Madrid, the leader was listed in 21 directories. Most of its competitors weren’t in any.
Directories you end up listed in. It’s the least glamorous work in local SEO and one of the most rewarding, precisely because almost nobody does it.
