Free NAP Checker
Check your business Name, Address & Phone for consistency across local directories. Run a free citation scan in seconds and see exactly where your NAP is listed, missing or wrong, then fix it before it costs you local rankings.
What this free NAP check covers
This is a genuinely free tool: no account, no credit card. It runs a live citation scan against the business directories we can read anonymously: OpenStreetMap (which feeds maps and apps worldwide) plus a growing set of international business directories. For each source it checks whether you’re listed and whether the listed phone and address match what you entered, so you get an honest answer to “check my citations: where is my NAP wrong?”
Coverage is worldwide through OpenStreetMap and expands as we add more international directories.
What is NAP consistency?
NAP stands for Name, Address and Phone. NAP consistency means those three details appear identically on every directory, citation and listing that mentions your business. A free NAP consistency checker like this one surfaces the small mismatches that quietly pile up (an old phone number, a moved address, “St.” vs “Street”, a missing suite number) because each inconsistency splits the local-search authority that should be pointing at one business.

Why NAP consistency matters for local SEO
Search engines corroborate a business by matching its NAP across the web. When the details agree everywhere, you earn trust and a stronger shot at the local map pack; when they disagree, rankings and customer calls leak away. Consistent local citations are one of the most reliable, controllable local SEO signals you have, and the easiest to get wrong at scale.
How to fix inconsistent citations
Choose one canonical version of your NAP, then update every listing to match and remove duplicates. You can do it by hand, or let Citation Builder build and continuously monitor consistent citations across the best directories for your market, with proof of each live listing, so your NAP stays correct everywhere as you grow.

Yes, the scan is completely free and needs no signup or credit card. It checks the public directories we can read for free (OpenStreetMap and curated local directories). You only sign up if you want us to fix and build consistent citations for you.
What does the free citation scan check?
It checks whether your business is listed on each source, then compares the listed phone and address to the details you entered, flagging matches, mismatches and missing listings. Coverage is global through OpenStreetMap plus a growing set of international business directories, and it expands as we add more sources.
What is NAP consistency and why does it matter?
NAP consistency means your Name, Address and Phone appear identically across every directory and citation. Inconsistent NAP (an old phone number, a moved address, an abbreviation mismatch) splits your local-search authority and confuses both customers and search engines, which can cost you map-pack rankings.
