About Citation Builder

Citation Builder is a global local SEO citation builder built by IT DEV, a digital agency that ships local-search automation. We started by building citations for our own clients (by hand, market by market) and turned that hard-won playbook into a product.

Why we built it

Building local citations manually is slow and repetitive: finding the right directories for each country and industry, formatting every submission, verifying listings, and tracking what actually went live. We did it for years for our own clients. Citation Builder is that process, automated and made global, so any business can get the same foundation in minutes instead of weeks.

What we do

The platform ranks the best citation sites for 50 developed countries and 45 industries, then builds your optimized citations for you, with screenshots and NAP-consistency checks as proof of each live listing. The universal must-have directories are surfaced for every market, layered with the national and niche directories that actually move local search rankings.

What makes us different

The citations Citation Builder builds are permanent and owned by you. No recurring syndication fee pulls your listings down if you pause, unlike Yext-style tools. What you subscribe to is the ongoing work: building new citations as you grow, keeping your NAP accurate across directories, and tracking every listing, so you’re paying for continuous local-SEO progress, while the foundation you build stays yours. See how that compares to Yext, BrightLocal and Moz Local.

Who it's for

From a single local business going global to agencies managing citations for hundreds of clients, Citation Builder scales from your first market to every market you serve. New to citations? Start with what local citations are or jump straight to how to build them.
