Finding citations

[maxweb]

Just starting work on a client providing care services in the local area.  They have a number of local branches in the area, but no Google+ page (which we will sorting shortly).

One of the first things that struck me about the company is the offsite citations are a mess. Their addresses all have different information and they have several phone numbers for each branch. I've been trying to gather a full list so that I can go through them and either change them or ask for log in details if necessary. However, this is time consuming and there is no guarantee that I will get them all.

I know that moz local has a tool to do this quickly, but it the grader seems to only work in the USA, we're based in the UK. I'm also trying to use whitespark to get a list, but this is difficult due to all the different phone numbers being used. Does anyone know of another tool that can speed up this process and ensure that I get all the citations?

Moz Local is only US based at the moment (other country are on the road map though) but you might find a scraper would work for finding info unfortunately scrapers are not my strong point but I'm sure someone can help a bit more (or find a better method)

If there is that many, I'd hire a freelancer to find/organize them all for you. Give them all the names/addresses/phones possible along with a spreadsheet to populate and have them search for and find all of the citation listings.

Hi Mark,

You might check out Bright Local's citation tracker tool. They are UK-based:
