NAP Citation Checker
Check 10 core citation sites (Yelp, BBB, Facebook, Apple, Bing) for your business in one click.
Questions about this tool
What is NAP?
Name, Address, Phone. Google cross-checks these across the web to confirm your business is real. Inconsistent NAP (different phone on Yelp vs Facebook) hurts your local ranking.
Which directories matter most?
Google Business Profile is #1 by a mile. Then Yelp, Facebook, Apple Maps, Bing Places, BBB, and the Yellow Pages family. Industry-specific directories (Angi for home services, Avvo for legal) matter for those verticals.
How do I fix inconsistencies?
Claim the listing on each directory, update to match your GBP exactly, save. For listings you didn't create (auto-aggregators), use a tool like Yext or just manually claim them.
Do I need dozens of citations?
No. Quality over quantity. 10 high-authority, perfectly consistent citations beat 100 sketchy ones. Focus on the big ones in this checker first.
What if my phone is different on purpose?
If you use a tracking number for ads and a real number on GBP, that's fine on the ad landing page. But every citation (Yelp, BBB, etc) should show the same phone as your GBP.
Does this cost money?
No. This checker is free forever. Getting listed usually is too, except BBB which charges for accreditation (listing is free).
How often should I audit citations?
Every 6 months, or any time you move, change phone, or rename the business. The big platforms can take weeks to propagate changes.
