“While your phone book might be collecting
dust, consumers still have a need for the
type of information it contains. But in
today’s digital world, they’re more inclined
to look for it on the Web ... a whopping 85
percent of consumers find local business
information online, where reviews, store
hours, deals and maps are just a click
away.”

Consumer Generated Content
“We have officially lost control of when
and where our messages are being
consumed – a fact that would be obvious
if we looked at our own behavior. With the
ubiquity of social media and the instant
access provided by the Internet,
consumers are now in control of how
they interact with your brand.”
- Forbes, May 2013

“This is generally considered one of the toughest tasks in
the SEO (search engine optimization) field. You're not only
fighting for rankings on (up to) 10 different sites/pages or
more, you're also competing against what many feel is a
strong algorithmic component in Google's engine -
QDD (Query Deserves Diversity).
“QDD is believed to impact the types of results Google
prefers to show ranking in the top 10, and biases away
from strict algorithmic "strength" and towards showing
a variety of different pages (positive and negative
sentiment analysis is suspected by some to be a
component here, hence the potential impact on reputation
management campaigns).” - SEO Moz

You Want Citations
• “Citations are "mentions" of your business
name and address on other webpages, even if
there is no link to your website.
• “Citations are a key component of the ranking
algorithms of the major search engines. Other
factors being equal, businesses with a
greater number of citations will probably
rank higher than businesses with fewer
citations.” – GetListed.org
