The Objective Was Not Simply More Listings

Avalonn Ink wanted to establish a stronger citation presence across the Netherlands and relevant industry directories.

The objective was not simply to create a large number of listings, but to build citations that were relevant to the business location, industry, and target market.

  • Building Netherlands-specific citations

  • Finding relevant tattoo and permanent makeup niche citations

  • Building citations on global high-authority directories

  • Maintaining consistent business information

  • Avoiding unnecessary duplicate listings

  • Manually creating and submitting citations

  • Providing a detailed report of the completed work

Our Citation Building Strategy

At Citation Forge, we don’t use the same citation list for every business. Our team researches citation opportunities based on the country, location, industry, and broader online presence of each business.

For Avalonn Ink, we used a three-layer citation strategy:

1

Specific Country Citations

We first researched Netherlands-specific citation opportunities to establish Avalonn Ink's presence across relevant Dutch directories and business platforms. These citations were selected specifically because the campaign was targeting the Netherlands market.

Country Relevance + Industry Relevance + Broader Directory Coverage

Our Manual Citation Building Process

Once the citation opportunities were researched, our team manually worked through the selected platforms.

1.

Business Information Review

We reviewed Avalonn Ink's business information before beginning the submissions to ensure accurate and consistent information was used throughout the campaign.

2.

Citation Research

Our team researched citation opportunities based on the client's country and industry.

3.

Manual Submission

Each citation was manually created or submitted according to the requirements of the individual platform.

4.

Duplicate Awareness

We reviewed existing listings where possible to help avoid unnecessary duplicate submissions.

5.

Quality Review

The submitted citations were reviewed and their status was recorded as part of the campaign reporting process.

6.

Final Reporting

After completing the campaign, we provided the client with a detailed report documenting the citation work.
