How would you explain local citation to a client?

i've only been doing this a few months, so local citation is new to me. it looked like it was working for about two weeks and then flattened out. what is it actually for?

Any place online that lists the business name, address and phone number - directories, Yelp, the local chamber of commerce, Apple Maps. Google uses them as a sanity check that you're a real business at a real address. The part clients actually need to hear: they have to match. An old address sitting on a dozen directories does more harm than having fewer listings.
