Our 100-city citation research, organised by state — see which states hold the deepest free directory opportunities and jump to their city lists.
Local search is organised by city, but businesses plan by state — a contractor licensed across Texas, a law firm serving all of Florida, a chain with locations from Ohio to Arizona. This page reorganises our 100-city citation research by state, so you can see at a glance which states hold the deepest free citation opportunities and jump straight to the city lists that matter to you.
Every state below is covered by the national United States citation list — the heavyweight directories that list businesses in all fifty states. The states with cards on this page hold one or more of the 100 largest US cities, and with them an extra layer of city-specific directories on top of the national sources.

See the City ListsSmaller states — Vermont, Wyoming, the Dakotas and others — have fewer city-specific directories, which is normal: their local search runs mainly on the national platforms plus state and regional sources. A business there still needs the full national layer built accurately, and in less competitive markets that alone is often enough to dominate the map results. Our citation building service covers all fifty states.
Build in this order: the national list once, then the city layer for each location, state by state in the order your locations earn revenue. It is the sequence our multi-location campaigns follow, and it keeps one consistent business record across every state you trade in.
One team, one master record, every location — live links reported state by state.
