Work top-down: Essential first, then Recommended, then the niche sites that match your industry. Use identical NAP details everywhere — check yours with the NAP Consistency Checker.
Citations are mentions of your business name, address, and phone on other websites. They validate your Google Business Profile and are table stakes for map-pack rankings. Quality beats quantity: the seven Essential listings matter more than fifty obscure ones.
Do a handful per week with identical details everywhere, and keep login credentials in one place — you'll need them when anything changes.
