Is citations will helpful to get new customers from google? Share details pls
Depends what you mean by helpful. Citations rarely bring customers directly, and most directory listings send very little referral traffic on their own.
What they do is support the thing that does bring customers, which is your Google Business Profile showing up in the map pack. Google cross-references your name, address and phone across directories to confirm the business is real and where it says it is. When they all agree there's more to corroborate. When they disagree there's less.
They're foundation work, not a lead source. A business with a complete profile, real reviews and consistent citations does better than one with two of the three. But nobody's phone rings because they got listed on a directory.
Two things that matter more than the count. Consistency, meaning identical details everywhere, not just accurate ones. And relevance, meaning directories your customers might actually search rather than whatever a bulk package includes.
If you're starting out, sort the Google profile first. Citations after that.
