Form Fields And Descriptions​

• Primary Category *

  Categories describe your business and connect you to customers who search for the products or services you offer.

  For example, if your primary category is “Pizza restaurant,” Google may show your business in someone’s local search results when they search for “Restaurants,” “Italian restaurants” which would be your secondary, and additional categories.  

• Business Name *

  We know that this seems like common sense, but Your business name needs to be the same across the web.  Since we did “Citation Vault” everywhere online and not “Citation Vault llc” That is what we used for our listings.  

• Tag Line *

  A Tagline represents a short description of your business.

  At Citation Vault we used: 300 Local Citations | Business Listings That Matter

• Business Description *

  Your Business Description should highlight what makes your business unique. You can use this field to provide useful information on services and products offered, as well as the mission and history of your business. You don’t need a long article here… 300 words max get the job done nicely. 

  You should be clear and concise, focusing on content that is relevant and useful to your customers to understand your business. 

  Our platform will take your business description and rewrite it for each of the websites in our network.  This ensures Unique Content.  

• Hours *

  First, choose your time zone.  Then if the business is open 24 hours, check that box and the days that they are open.  Otherwise, simply pick the days and hours that the business is open.  It is important that your hours of operation are consistent everywhere online.  

• Logo Image (Max: 1MB)

  It does not matter what size or shape your logo is, our only limitation is the size cannot be larger than 1MB.
