Http or https for citations and link building

[fencepencil]

I'm wondering what version of my website I need to use on Google My Business and link building etc.. I have setup https and am using a 301 redirect for all http traffic. My question now is, do I need to go to all of my current citations/links and update them to https?

I would think the citations/links in-place will hit the 301 and it won't matter what I set. Duplicate content isn't a problem since the canonical version of the page is https.

I can't get a clear answer on the web and can't find anything on Google's site that suggests one way or the other. I'd just like to have some feedback from my fellow Moziopians

I believe it won't matter that much, but would go ahead and use the https for all citations you build moving forward. As of last year, 301 redirects no longer lose any "link juice". See https://moz.com/blog/301-redirection-rules-for-seo by Cyrus Shepard.
