Get Found on Google Maps. Rank Higher in Local Search. Win More Perth Customers.
Your business deserves to show up when Perth customers are searching. If your local citations are missing, inconsistent, or inaccurate Google doesn’t trust your listing enough to rank it. We fix that.
At Imran Solutions, we help Perth businesses with citation building. We do full citation audits and NAP cleanup. We also submit to top Australian and Perth-specific directories.
The result? Higher Google Maps rankings. Better visibility in the Map Pack. More customers finding your business first.
A local citation is any online listing that includes your business name, address, and phone number (NAP). Think Yellow Pages, True Local, Yelp, Google Business Profile, and hundreds of other directories.
Google uses these citations to verify your business is real, local, and trustworthy.
When your citations are accurate and consistent, Google gives you a boost. This helps your local rankings. It works best when your citations are in trusted directories. When they’re inconsistent, outdated, or missing your rankings suffer. Quietly. Consistently. Expensively.
This is why businesses in Perth with great websites and good reviews still don’t rank in the top 3 on Google Maps. Their citation profile is broken and nobody’s told them.
Before we build anything, we find out exactly where you stand. Our detailed citation building perth audit checks every major Australian directory. It also looks at Perth-specific platforms and niche sites. This way, we find where your business is listed and where it should be.
What you get:
Full NAP inconsistency report
Duplicate listing identification
Missing citation gap analysis
Priority fix recommendations
Competitor citation comparison
This audit gives you a clear, honest picture of your local SEO foundation and a roadmap to fix it.
If your business has been operating for any length of time, chances are your citation profile is a mess. Old addresses and wrong phone numbers can hurt your Google Maps rankings. Outdated trading names and duplicate listings do the same. These issues drag you down every day.
Our citation cleanup service corrects every inconsistency manually, across every directory that matters. No automated tools that create new errors while fixing old ones. Real human work, properly documented.
We fix:
Incorrect or outdated addresses
Wrong or changed phone numbers
Business name variations and inconsistencies
Duplicate listings on the same platform
Missing or broken website URLs
Wrong business categories
After cleaning your existing citations, we will strategically create new ones. We focus on platforms that matter most for local search in Perth.
Each listing is created by hand. It is fully optimized. This includes NAP, business descriptions, categories, photos, service areas, and website links. All links point to important pages on your site.
We build citations on:
Tier 1 — High-Authority Australian Directories
Google Business Profile
Bing Places for Business
Apple Maps
Yellow Pages Australia
Hotfrog Australia
Yelp Australia
Aussie Web
Tier 2 — Perth-Specific & WA Local Directories
Perth Now Business Directory
StartLocal Perth
WA Business Directories
City of Perth listings
Local Perth community platforms
Tier 3 — Industry-Specific Directories
Relevant to your niche whether you’re a tradie, dentist, lawyer, real estate agent, or retailer. We submit to the directories your competitors are ignoring.
Citations drift over time. Directories scrape data from each other and re-introduce old errors. Your phone number changes. You move premises. Someone submits incorrect data about your business.
Our citation management service tracks your citation profile. It fixes issues before they hurt your rankings. It also keeps your NAP data accurate on every platform. You won’t have to worry about it.
Your Google Business Profile is the single most important citation your business has. We don’t just claim it. We fully optimise it to maximise your visibility in the Perth Map Pack.
Includes:
Complete profile setup or audit
Category optimisation
Service area configuration
Business description with strategic keyword placement

Q&A optimisation

If you are in Joondalup, Fremantle, Subiaco, Scarborough, Cannington, Midland, or the Perth CBD, citation quality is key. It affects how many local customers see you.
Here’s the reality most Perth businesses don’t realise until they get a proper audit:
The average established Perth business has 30–60% of its citations containing at least one error.
That means right now, dozens of directories are sending Google conflicting signals about your business. Google’s response? It reduces its confidence in your listing and ranks you lower than businesses with cleaner data.
Problem Impact
Old address in 40+ directories confuses Google and hurts rankings.
Phone number inconsistency treats records as different businesses.
Mixing trading and registered names causes NAP mismatch, reducing trust.
Duplicate listings on the same directory dilute citation authority.
Missing from key Tier 1 directories loses ranking signals.
Wrong business category leads to irrelevant ranking signals.
Every one of these is fixable, and fixing them has a direct, measurable impact on your local search rankings.
We don’t outsource. We don’t use bulk submission tools that create as many problems as they solve. Every citation we build or fix is handled by our local SEO team manually, methodically, and properly documented.
Step 1 — Discovery Call We learn your business: correct NAP data, service areas, business categories, and ranking goals.
Step 2 — Full Citation Audit We scan every directory and platform where your business appears and map every inconsistency, duplicate, and gap.
Step 3 — Audit Report Delivery You receive a clear, plain-English report showing exactly what’s wrong, what’s missing, and what we recommend.
Step 4 — Citation Cleanup We correct every inconsistency on every priority directory — manually, one by one.
Step 5 — New Citation Building We build new listings on the Australian and Perth-specific directories where your business should be but is not.
Step 6 — Full Optimisation Every listing gets fully optimised not just NAP, but descriptions, categories, photos, and service areas.
Step 7 — Documentation & Reporting You receive a complete record of every citation built or corrected — full URLs, login details (where applicable), and status.
Step 8 — Ongoing Monitoring (management clients only) Monthly checks to catch and correct any new inconsistencies before they impact rankings.
Citation building is not an overnight fix. But it is a reliable, durable one.
Timeframe: What Happens
Week 1–2: Audit complete; full picture established.
Week 2–4: Citation cleanup goes live in key directories.
Week 3–6: New citations are built and indexed.
Week 4–10: Google re-processes your citation signals.
Week 8–16: Improvements in Map Pack rankings become visible.
Week 16+: Rankings keep consolidating and strengthening.
These are honest, realistic timelines based on real Perth campaigns. The results are durable — because they’re built on accurate data, not tricks that wear off.
Quality and consistency matter more than volume. Many Perth businesses gain a lot from 50 to 100 strong citations. These should be from trusted Australian directories and niche sites. More is not always better accuracy is always better.
You need a full citation cleanup urgently. Every directory with your old address hurts your local rankings. It also sends customers to the wrong place. We can prioritise this scenario and work through it systematically.
Yes — and increasingly so. Google AI Overviews and AI search tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity use structured business data. They answer local queries. Now, consistent citations help with AI discoverability. This matters, not just for Google Maps rankings.
Citations are NAP mentions in directories. They build local trust and confirm your business location. Links are hyperlinks that pass domain authority. Both matter for local SEO, but citations are specifically what drives Map Pack rankings. We offer both as part of our broader local SEO services.
Yes. But thoroughness matters enormously. Missing a high-authority directory is common. DIY fixes can create new inconsistencies while trying to solve old ones. Businesses that depend on local search for revenue often see better ROI with professional management. It helps them succeed more.
It depends on your starting point and scope. We have fixed-price audit packages. We also offer one-time cleanup services and build campaigns. Plus, we provide ongoing monthly management. Contact us for a tailored quote. We’re transparent about pricing and there are no lock-in contracts.
Where possible, we claim and correct your existing listings directly. Where we can’t access existing accounts, we create corrected listings and flag duplicates for removal.
Yes. We work with businesses across Western Australia, including regional WA. Citation building principles are the same; the directory mix may vary slightly for regional areas.
We specialise in local SEO — it’s not a side service we bolt onto website packages. Citation building, Google Business Profile optimisation, and Map Pack rankings are what we do every day.
We work manually — no bulk submission tools, no automated fixes that introduce new problems. Every citation is handled by a real person.
We’re transparent — you receive full documentation of every listing built or corrected. You always own your listings. There’s no dependency on our tools or subscriptions.
We understand Perth — the local directories, the competitive landscape across Perth suburbs, the industries where local search drives the most revenue. This isn’t generic local SEO advice applied to Perth. It’s Perth-specific strategy.
We deliver results that last — because we build on accurate data, not shortcuts.
