What’s the difference between Active Sync and Citation Builder, and which one is right for me?

Active Sync and Citation Builder are two BrightLocal tools that can help you to build an accurate listings profile for any business. Here's how they are different:

Citation Builder

Citation Builder helps you to build listings from scratch and fix existing listings on authority-boosting sites. It’s a pay-as-you-go service where you choose the sites from our database you want to be listed on and the details you want to be listed with, then we do the hard work for you, ensuring they are complete, accurate, and widely displayed.

Active Sync

Active Sync helps you to keep your business’s most important listings, such as Google Business Profile, Facebook, Bing, Apple Maps, and Yelp (US and Canada only) accurate, shield them from external edits, and push out updates when you need to.

If you want to quickly update and push out the information in a business’s Google Business Profile, Facebook, Bing, and Google Maps listings, and shield them from external edits, then Active Sync is the tool for you.
