Why Niche Citations Matter
Why bother with niche citations? Not only do niche citations provide a valuable backlink to your site, they also further strengthen the association between your business and your business category. That way, when search engines look at the local ecosystem of your business, it’s easier for them to understand that your business is related to your main business category, such as doctor or lawyer. When your business is categorically relevant to searchers, there’s a much greater chance users will both find you online and choose your service!
Additionally, customers want to view information specific to the business or service they are seeking. This type of citation source makes it easy for potential customers to see and compare all the lawyers, for example, in their area without having to sort through movers and plumbers as well.
