What is citation sync?

A “citation” is any mention of your business name, address, and phone number (NAP) on the web. Inconsistent citations — where your address appears differently on Yelp vs. Google vs. Bing — hurt your local SEO rankings. NearIQ checks your NAP data across:
  • Google Business Profile
  • Yelp
  • Bing Places
  • Foursquare
  • TripAdvisor

​
What it checks

For each directory, NearIQ verifies:
FieldWhat’s checked
Business nameExact match vs. your GBP name
AddressStreet, city, state, zip
Phone numberFormatted consistently
WebsiteURL matches your GBP website

​
Interpreting results

A green checkmark means the data matches your Google Business Profile (the source of truth). A yellow warning means a partial match — often a formatting difference (e.g. “St.” vs “Street”). A red error means the data is missing or significantly different. This actively hurts your local rankings and should be fixed directly on the directory’s site.

​
Fixing citations

NearIQ surfaces the inconsistencies but doesn’t auto-fix them — each directory has its own claiming and editing flow. For bulk citation management at scale, consider a dedicated citation service alongside NearIQ.
