        That´s not good, you should distribute your backlinks in different urls and not always the home. I would recommend you to start to do it 🙂

          If you are wanting to target multiple keywords then it obviously makes sense to utilize some of your other website pages to rank for those keywords. If one of your other pages answers questions or provides information on a specific topic then I would try to get relevant blogs other websites to link back to that specific page. For example, if your page discusses the benefits of animal adoption, then it would be beneficial if the local Humane Society linked to it.

              Hi Nick,

              Your citations should all list the same URL if you are dealing with a single physical address. Citations may or may not act as followed links for your business, so in building them, earning links is not really the primary goal. Rather, you are building citations to be sure your local business' name, address, phone number and website are consistently distributed across a wide variety of local business platforms.
