Can I use my own list of preferred citation sites in Citation Builder?

We have worked hard to compile a list of over 1,500 citation sites that we can submit through Citation Builder (CB) and update business data for. To achieve this, we have a team of citation researchers who constantly review the sites we work with to ensure they are fully functional and identify new sites to add to our database.

A strict set of criteria is applied to these sites. We do this to ensure that all the citations we submit add genuine value to your local SEO.

When you set up a Citation Builder campaign, we will filter our database at Step 2 of the setup process to return only sites relevant to the business and location. We filter out sites that do not cover the industry or the town or city where the business is located. 

At this point, you will be able to pick the required number of sites for your campaign from this selection.

Using your own site list

We regret that you're unable to upload your own list of sites to submit to in a Citation Builder campaign; however, you can request that we add new sites to our database.

You can do this by contacting our Customer Support team via the 'Contact Us' page, mentioning the sites you'd like us to add.

Our citation research team will review these sites to determine whether we can submit to them and update their data by:

• Checking the quality and speed of the site
• Completing a test submission to determine how long it takes for the listing to go live
• Discovering if the site's editorial team are helpful and responsive to emails

Please note: It typically takes us between five and seven days to determine if a site is usable before we add it to our database, so please be patient while we do a thorough site check.
