Read This Next Line Carefully About Citation Websites!

Having your chiropractic business listed on citation sites is a core component of any good online marketing and SEO strategy. BUT, it's important to understand that you may not need to go through the following list of local citation websites and pay for every—or any— of the paid directory listings!

Finding the right mix of citation listings will vary from practice to practice based on location, competition, and more. You can certainly set up a 1-on-1 call with us to discuss what could be right for you. We're happy to simply offer you our professional suggestions.

What Are Citations?

Citations are mentions of your business name, address and phone number (NAP) in an online directory. Even if there is not a direct link to your website. These citations act as your unique business digital fingerprint. This makes it possible for search engines such as Google, Bing, and Yahoo to find you.

Why Do I Need Citations?

Citations become your online calling card. If Google, Bing, and Yahoo are finding you easily...that is because someone is looking for a chiropractor in your local area. It would be great if the practice they find is yours. In short, citations are a powerful way for you to attract more patients to your chiropractic practice.

What Do I Need to Keep in Mind When Setting up Citations?

  • Keep all of your Name/Address/Phone (NAP) listings consistent. 100% consistent. NAP Discrepancies are one of the top 2 reasons businesses suffer in their local search rankings.
  • Practices with more citations will usually rank higher than those with fewer citations. More exposure to more online eyes = more patients.
  • The more 5 star reviews you are able to generate on these listings the higher you will rank in local search.
  • Remember where you have listed your business and check back regularly to check reviews and to make sure things are up to date.
  • Algorithms (Google's especially) change constantly, making staying on top of SEO trends overwhelming for many. You can always touch base with us to ask questions about what you should do regarding citations and other components of an online marketing strategy that are critical to any chiropractor.
