Citation Finder FAQ

What exactly are citations and why do I need them? +
Citations are online mentions of your business name, address, and phone number (NAP). They're a top local SEO ranking factor. Consistent citations across authoritative directories signal trust to Google and help you rank in the local pack.
How many citation sources are in your database? +
We track over 14,500 citation directories, including general business directories, niche-specific sites, chamber of commerce listings, and local news sites. The database grows monthly as we add new sources.
Can I find guest post opportunities in my niche? +
Absolutely. Filter guest post sites by niche (marketing, tech, health, food, etc.), domain authority range, and traffic estimates. Each listing includes editor contact info and submission guidelines.
How accurate are the domain authority metrics? +
We pull live data from Moz API, providing current DA, PA, spam score, and backlink counts. Metrics update weekly so you always have fresh authority data.
Can I check if my business is already listed? +
Yes! Use the citation status checker by entering your domain or business name. We'll show you which directories already have your listing and where you're missing.
Is there a limit on how many citations I can find? +
No limits. Search for as many niches and locations as you need. Export unlimited CSV lists. Free forever.
What's the difference between citations and backlinks? +
Citations are mentions without necessarily linking to your site (though many directories do link). Both are valuable. Our tool helps you find citation opportunities AND guest post sites that give follow-backlinks.
How often is the database updated? +
We add new citation sources weekly and remove defunct directories. Guest post sites are vetted monthly to ensure active submission opportunities.
