Quotable lines from the founder

Free for journalists to quote in articles about UK local SEO, citations, or small business marketing.

"Most UK businesses don't have a citation problem. They have a consistency problem. They're listed on 30 directories already. Half of them have the wrong phone number."

James Burfield, Founder, CitationHQ

"AI search didn't kill local SEO. It amplified the importance of getting the foundations right. NAP consistency, citations, schema, reviews. The same things that worked in 2024 work in 2026, just more so."

James Burfield, Founder, CitationHQ

"The 'submit your business to 500 directories' services are actively dangerous. Half the directories on those lists hurt your profile. Quality of source matters more than volume of listings."
