Australia Local Citations
on Top Australian Business Directories

What Our Australia Local Citations Cover

Many Australians search Australian business directories for a plumber, a vet or a café. Google also reads these sites to learn which firms trade in each area. Therefore, a wide range of accurate listings makes your business easier to find.

A citation is any web page that lists your business name with its address and phone number. With our local citations Australia service, we create these citations for you, one site at a time. Then we put every live link into a single Excel report.

All listings share one fixed set of details, known as NAP. As a result, buyers see the same facts about your business on every site. For local SEO in Australia, this matters a lot, because big cities like Sydney and Melbourne have many firms with similar names.

What Each Australia Citation Plan Includes

The list below shows what each plan includes. You can find the price and delivery time of each plan in the packages above.

• Basic: 40 local citations in 2 days, a solid first set of listings.
• Standard: 200 local citations in 3 days, for wide coverage.
• Premium: 300 local citations in 4 days, our largest set.
• All plans: listing submissions from an Australian IP, a citations and directories review, one exact NAP and an Excel report.

Why Australian Business Directories Still Count

A business directory lists companies by industry and location. Australian business directories such as TrueLocal, Yellow Pages and Hotfrog take this idea online. On top of that, Yelp and Foursquare add user reviews and map data.

These sites help you in two ways. Firstly, real people use them to find a service nearby. Secondly, Google says in its local ranking guide that it gathers business facts from many places on the web, directories included. However, citations are only one of the factors Google uses to rank local results.

How We Review Directories Before We Submit

We start every plan with a review of the citation sites we will use. Some listing sites have no value for you. The best Australian business directories are current, actively used and visited by people. Therefore, we do not use spam lists or dead sites.

The table below lists the main types of sites we use. In the end, the final list depends on your industry and your city.

Your State, Postcode and ABN

In Australia, every address ends with a short state name and a postcode, such as “Sydney NSW 2000”. Each Australian postcode has exactly four digits. So a single wrong digit could send someone to a different suburb.

Some Australian business directories also ask for your ABN, the 11-digit Australian Business Number. If you have one, please add it to our order form. We then use your ABN only when a directory asks for it.

Keep Your Name, Address and Phone the Same

First, pick one version of your company name and use it everywhere. For example, “Harbour Plumbing Pty Ltd” on one site and “Harbour Plumbing” on another may look like two separate businesses. The same rule applies to your phone number and your address.

Your phone number needs care as well. Sydney landlines start with 02, while mobile numbers start with 04. Therefore, we format your number once and use that format on every site. All details come from one master sheet, which keeps every listing the same.

Why We Use an Australian IP

Some Australian business directories check where a new listing comes from. If an Australian firm signs up from outside Australia, the site may see this as unusual. In that case, it could hold the listing for a manual review or reject it.

Therefore, each plan sends its listings from an Australian IP address. As far as the site can tell, the sign-up comes from inside Australia, where you run your business. This applies equally to Basic, Standard and Premium.

However, an Australian IP does not mean every directory will approve your listing. Each directory has its own rules and its own review time.

TrueLocal, Yelp and Foursquare in Plain Words

TrueLocal is an Australian directory where people look for trades by suburb. Yelp and Foursquare are global apps; however, both hold many Australian listings and user reviews. In addition, many other apps and maps use Foursquare’s data.

When your business category fits one of these sites, we submit your business to it. However, each site has its own review process, so the site decides when your listing goes live.

Service Areas and Firms Without a Shopfront

Many Australian trades go to the customer, so they have no shopfront. If you run a business like that, let us know in the form. Then we set a service area wherever a site allows it, rather than showing your home address.

Some directories require a street address. On those sites, we follow their rules and note in your report exactly how your address appears.

A Review of Listings You Already Have

Some of your current listings may show old contact details, such as an outdated phone number or a former address. Therefore, every plan begins by finding these existing listings.

Your report lists every old listing we find, along with the wrong details on it. As a result, you know which pages to claim or correct. After that, we create the new listings with your current name, address and phone number.

An Excel Report of Every Live Link

You receive an Excel file with one row per listing. Each row shows the site name, the direct link to your listing and whether it is live. So you can open those links and check our work in a few clicks.

Keep in mind that some directories approve new businesses by hand. So on delivery day, one or two listings may still be waiting to go live. The report marks those rows, so nothing is left out.

Local SEO Australia Basics: Your Website

Your website should show the exact same NAP as your listings. When a page title includes your city, it also tells people nearby that you serve their area. This one simple change gives your local SEO in Australia a real boost.

Australia Local Citations: What We Cannot Promise

First, we want you to know exactly what to expect. No one can promise you first place on Google Maps or a set number of phone calls. Many things affect where a business appears, and the distance between the searcher and you is one of the biggest.

Directories also set their own rules, and they may edit or remove a listing later. What we promise is careful work, matching details and working links you can open. Denwix is an independent team, and we are not part of Google or any directory.

Who Our Australia Citation Plans Suit

Any firm with an Australian address can use these plans. Here is a quick guide:

• Basic: sole traders and new firms that want their first 40 listings.
• Standard: growing firms that want 200 listings across many sites.
• Premium: firms in crowded markets that want 300 listings in one order.
