CitationHQ submits your business to 55+ UK directories using our submission service - saving hours of manual form-filling and building you the citation profile Google needs to rank you locally.
Business name, address, phone, website. Filled once, used everywhere with consistent NAP formatting.
We filter directories to match your business type. A law firm gets different listings to a trades business.
Screenshots of every filled form before submission. You stay in control. Verification emails handled automatically.
When a listing already exists, we claim and update it rather than create a duplicate. Google penalises inconsistent duplicate listings - we prevent that from day one.

CitationHQ works for any UK business with a physical address or service area. We support 12 industries with curated directory sets - from trades and legal to health and retail.
