Directory plan
Recommendations ranked by fit, not just directory count.
Curated and AI-discovered sources are separated so the buyer can see what is recommended and why.

Directory coverage
BuildCitations.ai uses a 600+ directory database, but the useful question is not how many directories exist. It is which ones fit the business, location, and category.

Recommendation logic
The directory plan explains why each source was selected, whether it is free or paid, and what review steps may be needed.
Directory plan
Curated and AI-discovered sources are separated so the buyer can see what is recommended and why.

Known sources are ranked by type, relevance, quality, and fit for the business profile.
Additional candidates can appear when category and market signals point to sources outside the catalog.
Some directories reject businesses by geography, category, paid policy, or review rules. Those outcomes stay visible.
What matters
Each page has a specific job, but the same standard applies: show the buyer what was found, what changed, and what still needs attention.
Core listings like Google Business Profile, Apple, Bing, Yelp, Facebook, Yellow Pages, Foursquare, and BBB-style sources when eligible.
Industry directories that make sense for the category, such as legal, healthcare, home services, restaurants, real estate, and more.
City, county, state, chamber, association, and regional publisher listings where they are relevant to the business location.
