Hi thanks for reply, I've googled about citations.

quote from a website


6. Build Local Citations, and Ensure Consistency

Citations are huge when it comes to success with local SEO. A citation is when your business name, address, and phone number (NAP) are listed on the web. Citations from authoritative places help boost your visibility in Google Maps and local search results, and the more of these you have, the better you can expect to perform. In this way, they serve a role similar to links.
It's important to ensure that your listings are consistent. Inconsistent listings can hurt your visibility in the search results, or even mess up your location in Google Maps.
It's worth investing in a tool to help you build citations. Here are four worth investing in:

  • Moz Local(formerly GetListed)
  • Whitespark's local citation finder
  • Yext
  • BrightLocal

Are these method works? should I spend my money on these? is it worth? Are there any better method?

thanks

Whitespark local citation finder is good for helping you find where your competitors are listed so you can also get listed. In my experience, Google likes to see a good number of quality citations that have the same name, address and phone number listed so they can get the sense that your company is indeed a local one and worthy of being promoted in the local listings. If you want a Whitespark local citation finder report but don't want to subscribe fully, I have a gig on fiverr. Look up xoziggieox on Fiverr.
 
Did you add your website to Google webmaster? It yes, go to site setting and change your website location.
 
Yup. I have the same issue on 1 of my sites. It ranks nationally on page 1 for a 22,000 SM keyword but the problem is I only service New Jersey.

So the site gets a bunch of garbage traffic from states we don't even serve. That's why anytime we get calls from area codes we don't know, we just don't answer the phone.

And FTR, I have TONS of citations, reviews, geotargeted content and I'm in GWT.

I will tell you what I think the problem *might be*, and I'm just experimenting with it. But one thing I noticed was my homepage was extremely overoptimized, as in I had the keyword "service + state" about 14 times on my homepage. I did not keyword stuff, I just used my main phrase wayyy too much.

I use to actually rank #1 for that keyword, but then Google deranked me for my main local keyword and ranked me nationally instead.

The ONLY thing I can possibly think of is Google applied some type of penalty on my site for that specific phrase. I know that sounds crazy but I can't think of anything else that makes sense. I really don't think it's my links are anchor text because my anchor text is perfect. It has to be something about the way my on page was done.

A few days ago I reoptimized my site, so I'm just gonna wait and see what happens. For all I know, this could just be some random glitch in Google that is out of my control. Because you're like the 10th person I've heard saying this.

You can change your website location and try again. Let me know what have you found?
 
It could also be the location of your incoming links? This also has an impact.
 
If you want to target your country then add your site in to webmaster tool, or just do local backlinks to get rank in your location easily
 
I have a competitor for local KWs who is stuck on #6 although his site is a PR4 and he has a very powerful BL profile. Im sure that the reason for that is his onpage overoptimization. Especially with onpage, you want to be very natural. So get that fix and Im sure your rankings will be back.

Sometimes, even penalized sites get on top of the Local panel, however, they don't stick there for long.

On-site signals plus citations are the most important factors
 
Because the local google will not rank your site at the high level while, Google.com will rank your site all over the World. That will be more beneficial for you and your site.
