Local SEO Intelligence
Everything you need to know before you order
Straight answers about our citation building, Google Business Profile optimization, and local SEO services — no fine print, no runaround.
General
What exactly does 360 Citation Builder do?
We build competitor-informed, 100% manual local citations, optimize Google Business Profiles, and run full local SEO — all designed to rank your business higher in the map pack and organic search. Every deliverable is transparently reported and available white-label.
How are you different from bulk citation services?
Bulk services blast the same recycled directory list to everyone. We start by analyzing your top 5 competitors, fix your existing NAP inconsistencies, then manually build only the citations proven to matter in your niche and location.
Do you work with businesses outside the U.S.?
Yes. We build region-specific citations in 60+ countries — including the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
Citation Building
What is NAP consistency and why does it matter?
NAP stands for Name, Address, and Phone number. Google uses it to verify your business is legitimate. Inconsistent NAP confuses search engines and splits your ranking power. We guarantee 100% consistency across every citation we build.
How many citations do I need?
It depends on your competition. That’s why we analyze your top competitors first. Most businesses see strong results from 50–300 citations; competitive markets need more. Our free audit gives you a specific recommendation.
What directories do you submit to?
We build on the directories actually driving results in your niche — Yelp, BBB, Yellow Pages, Foursquare, Apple Maps, Chamber of Commerce, and industry- and location-specific platforms identified through competitor analysis.
Do you offer citation cleanup?
Yes. We manually fix inconsistent NAP, remove duplicates, and reclaim lost listings. Cleanup starts at $59 per 50 directories and is included in our Growth and Elite packages.
Are the submissions manual?
100%. Every citation is built by a real person and verified for accuracy. We never use automated submission tools.
Google Business Profile
Can you optimize an existing Google Business Profile?
Yes. We audit your current profile against competitors and optimize every field — categories, services, description, media, posts, and Q&A — to maximize map-pack visibility.
Do I need GBP optimization if I already have citations?
They work best together. Your GBP is the #1 local ranking factor, and your citations reinforce it — but only if the NAP matches perfectly across both. We align them.
Do you manage reviews?
They work best together. Your GBP is the #1 local ranking factor, and your citations reinforce it — but only if the NAP matches perfectly across both. We align them.
Local SEO
How is local SEO different from regular SEO?
Local SEO focuses on ranking for location-based and “near me” searches — the map pack, Google Business Profile, and local organic results — using signals like citations, reviews, and proximity that traditional SEO doesn’t prioritize.
How long does local SEO take to show results?
Most clients see local-pack movement within 4–6 weeks, with full impact building over about 3 months as citations get indexed. Timelines vary with competition.
Do you handle everything or just citations?
Both. You can order a single service (like citations) or our full local SEO system covering GBP, on-page, reviews, and competitor strategy.
Pricing & Billing
Is this a one-time payment or a subscription?
One-time. Unlike Yext or Moz Local, you pay once and your citations stay live. No renewals, no recurring fees. (GBP Monthly Management is the only optional recurring service.)
Are there any hidden fees?
None. The package price is the price. Add-ons are clearly listed, and we confirm everything before you pay.
What payment methods do you accept?
[CONFIRM payment methods — e.g., major credit/debit cards and secure online checkout via your payment provider.]
Do you offer refunds?
Because work begins immediately with research and manual submissions, we focus on our 30-day replacement guarantee rather than refunds. If a listing is removed within 30 days, we replace it free.
White Label
Will my clients know you did the work?
Never. All deliverables are 100% unbranded, and we never contact your clients. You can add your own logo to every report.
Do you offer bulk or agency pricing?
Yes — volume discounts and recurring-order pricing for partners. Contact us for a custom quote.
How fast is turnaround?
7 days (Starter), 10 days (Growth), 14 days (Elite), and 3–5 days for GBP optimization. Rush options are available.
Guarantees & Results
Do you guarantee #1 rankings on Google?
No ethical SEO company can guarantee #1. What we guarantee is a proven, data-driven strategy that has improved rankings for 500+ businesses — plus transparent reporting on everything we build.
What is the 30-day replacement guarantee?
If any listing we build is removed for any reason within 30 days of your report, we replace it with a new one at no cost.
How will I know it’s working?
You get a full report with live URLs and status for every citation, plus measurable local-pack and visibility improvements you can track over the following weeks.
