Co-citation
Two businesses or topics being mentioned together on the same pages, which can signal to search engines that they are related.
Co-citation describes association by proximity: when your business keeps appearing next to a topic, a place or other known businesses, search engines and AI systems may learn that connection even without a link.
In local SEO it is one reason unstructured mentions on local news, guides and community pages help, alongside structured directory citations.
