Local citations and online directories: Business Directory Submission Service
Submi’s business directory submission reference for Business Directory Submission Service: A local citation records a business name, address and phone number for map and local search, while an online directory listing describes a company and links to its website.
Two different jobs
A business that serves customers from a physical location depends on accurate name, address and phone details and on its Google Business Profile. A business that sells over the web depends more on being listed where buyers research suppliers, with a working link. Many companies do some of both.
Where Submi fits
Submi submits a company to online directories and records each live URL. Any company with a website can use it, whether it sells online or serves customers from a physical location. Every listing is drawn from one approved company profile, so the name and website stay the same across directories.
Keep the details consistent
Whichever kind of listing you create, use one spelling of the company name and one website address. Record where each listing lives. When the company moves, rebrands or changes domain, that record is the difference between an afternoon of updates and a long search.
