SEO FAQs
What are structured and unstructured citations for funeral homes?
Structured citations are business directory listings, such as Google Business Profile, Yell, or Thomson Local, where your name, address, and phone number appear in defined data fields. Unstructured citations are brand mentions in articles, local news, or blog posts where your details appear in running text. Both count as local trust signals, but structured citations carry more direct weight for Map Pack rankings.
