Local SEO – Looking for expert opinion

[venkatweetz]

Dear Forum members,

My clients are asking me to optimise their location on Google map. I'm trying to find a good citation building/maintaining service and a good white label SEO reseller. I'm considering between whitespark, brightlocal or Yext to do business with. But the problem is the mentioned services are not working Indian based local business. Do you have any option / alternative for citation building?

What do you mean by the business listing?
To list a business according to the prescribed location; like if the business is in India then find the business listings that accept the India local business.

There are listing websites that only work for the particular country like some listing only work for the USA regions so it is not possible to list there the Indian local business.

But the digital marketing service providers have clients from the USA then how to submit the listing to the USA citations which don't accept the Indian IP?
For them use the proxy services to get the website access or find a professional from the USA region who submit the business listing. or search there are so many service providers, even in the BHW you can post query in the section "Hire a freelancer".

if you have your Indian business then search "business listing websites in India" in the Giant search engine, you can get the huge number of business listing websites that accept the local listings, even many USA citations companies accepting any business listing from around the world.

Just go to BrightLocal and sign up for Citation Burst, it's gonna be $3 per citation, $2 if you buy $1,000 worth of credit. Their citation syndication to the big data outlets is another $55 for all 4. Usually there's around 100 citations to create (avg 1st ranked business has 87) plus the syndication so it's around $355. If you need to clean up their citations or listings, it will cost 10% of the total cost of the citations purchased. If you're looking for extra citations, look to Whitespark, get a 1 month subscription and find out what they are and fill them out yourself.

This is the best, and most sure fire way to accomplish citations/business listings. Don't overpay or get crappy business descriptions from foreign writers that aren't optimized for your business keywords or locations...

A cheaper way would be to write the citation language yourself to incorporate locations, niches and/or specialities - then hire the citation work out to a data entry person from upwork for $2-$4 per 50 citations.
