SEO Citation Rules

Be consistent

Use the exact same NAP everywhere. No variations in abbreviation, punctuation, or word order.

Pick a primary category

On Google, pick one primary category (e.g., "Junk Removal Service") — don't spread across too many.

Add photos

Every directory that supports photos — add them. Photos improve click-through rates significantly.

Respond to reviews

Reply to every review — positive and negative. Google sees this as engagement and it boosts rankings.
