Google Maps citations refer to the mentions of a business’s name, address, and phone number (NAP) on other websites. These citations can be in the form of a directory listing, a review, or an article that mentions the business. The more citations a business has, the more likely it is to show up in Google Maps search results for that area.
Google Maps citations are an important factor in Google’s algorithm for determining the online authority and relevance of a business. By citing a business’s NAP on their website, other websites are effectively vouching for the business and its location.
