Local Citations and NAP Consistency: A Bellingham Primer

A 'citation' is any online mention of your business name, address, and phone number — on directories, maps, social profiles, and your own site. When those details are consistent everywhere, Google trusts them; when they conflict, it hesitates to rank you.

Where inconsistencies creep in

• An old address or phone number left on a directory.
• Different name variations (LLC vs. no LLC, abbreviations).
• A tracking number on one listing and the main line on another.
• Duplicate listings you forgot you created.

Clean it up once, benefit for years

Pick one exact format for your name, address, and phone, then make every important listing match it. It's tedious but powerful — consistent citations are foundational to local search.
