FAQs
How does Citation Builder work?
Citation Builder submits your business information to the main data aggregators: TransUnion’s Neustar/Localeze and Foursquare.
Over time, hundreds of directories will reference these aggregators to collect business data and create accurate listings based on your submitted information. This includes search engines, navigation systems, voice search, mobile apps, and even offline sources like telephone books and government records.
When multiple sources have consistent business data, two outcomes occur:
- Google’s WebCrawler finds the same information in multiple places and adds more confidence to its and your business data
- Good backlinks are created with more referring sources to the business’s website, creating better SEO.
What is a data aggregator?
Data aggregators gather consumer and business data and provide it to hundreds of listing directories, review sites, search engines, and more. They also power sophisticated modern applications such as Apple’s Siri and personal navigation systems.
How often does Real Traffic Productions’ Citation Builder send NAP data to the data aggregators?
When a business’s profile data is created or modified in the Real Traffic Productions dashboard, the information is sent within 24 hours. The data aggregators receive this data and provide Real Traffic Productions with confirmation within 6-8 weeks. Real Traffic Production also refreshes business NAP data once every month to ensure that aggregators always have the most accurate information.
How long does Citation Builder take?
As soon as business information is entered, Real Traffic Productions’ Citation Builder will send it to the data aggregators. It can take 6-8 weeks for them to receive the information and ensure it is correct in their own databases. It is then up to the sites and sources to update their information from the data aggregators. They query them at various intervals—some seek out the information weekly, monthly, etc. Therefore, the timeline for when a source picks up that information will vary greatly depending on their process for updating their data.
Why is Citation Builder a yearly subscription?
Real Traffic Productions’ Citation Builder has a continual process that maintains and builds your client’s web presence over time. Once the data aggregators have correct business information, the rate at which sites reference this information varies. To ensure the widest span of information and amount of listings created, Citation Builder needs to be activated for an extended period of time. Even if your business information is correct, online business data can be eroded over time by user-generated content and other incorrect data. As long as your Citation Builder subscription is active, Citation Builder refreshes your information with the data aggregators every week. Without this, there is a risk of allowing the current public data to change all of the values already established.
How often can updates be made to the business profile?
Your business profile can be updated as much as required while a Citation Builder subscription is active.
What if a business has duplicate listings—how does Real Traffic Productions’ Citation Builder take care of those?
Citation Builder does not delete duplicate listings Instead, sources online that reference the data providers will, over time, ensure that business data is accurate.
