Should citations include all your address? What is most important?

[SEM_at_Lees]

Hi

I am looking to rank highly in local search for the city we are based in and I will be creating some citations so that we can rank for a city but have a problem.

Our website lists us as being located in the Wirral which is a borough but Google + requires you to add a county for this line so could add either Merseyside or Cheshire. Should I leave this part of the citation out - i.e. Wirral or Merseyside.

We are ranking well for the term Wirral and do not want to effect this.

Could anyone advise me here so that we can start to rank better for the city Birkenhead?

The Wirral is a peninsular as can be seen on Wilipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolitan_Borough_of_Wirral

Hi Stephen!

Thank you for posting in Q&A! It looks like this question is very similar to this one you posted yesterday:
