The Vendasta team is thrilled to announce the evolution of our "Listing Distribution" product into "
Citation Builder
," effective February 3rd, 2025. This transition represents more than just a name change — it’s a significant step forward in our commitment to helping you and your SMB clients achieve greater success in building their online presence. With exciting new features, enhanced reporting, and a valuable partnership with TransUnion (owners of Neustar Localeze), Citation Builder is designed to deliver even more value and transparency.
What’s New with
Citation Builder
?
  • Streamlined Reporting:
    All citation and data aggregator insights will now be accessible in a consolidated "Citations" tab, simplifying usability and saving you time.
  • Deeper Integration with Neustar Localeze:
    Our enhanced partnership with TransUnion provides richer, more transparent data for citation insights.
  • Retirement of Data Axle Integration:
    Citation Builder will no longer sync with Data Axle for new activations after February 1, 2025. Existing customers will continue to benefit from Data Axle submissions until their renewal period ends (January 31, 2026).
Why the Name Change?
The new name, "Citation Builder," better reflects the product’s purpose: building citations to enhance local search visibility. This change also eliminates confusion between "Listing Sync Pro" and "Listing Distribution," making it easier for partners and clients to understand the unique benefits of each tool.
How Will This Transition Benefit You?
  1. Enhanced Usability:
    Vendasta will be unifying the "Listing Distribution" tab in Local SEO with the "Citations" tab, simplifying reporting to more easily show the positive impact the product has on citations growth over time.
  2. Improved Transparency:
    Detailed insights from TransUnion's Neustar Localeze empower you to demonstrate value to clients effectively. Below is a mock of how this will look for customers
