If your local business doesn't appear among the top 3 Google results, you're losing sales every day.
One of the most underrated yet powerful factors to improve your local ranking is this:
Having a presence on sites that Google trusts to validate your existence, reputation, and location.
Today, I'm sharing my list of 25 sites where you should register your business in Panama if you want Google to see you as a legitimate entity and recommend you when customers search for what you offer.
Why Do These Citations Increase Your Local Authority?
By 2026, Google and AI models no longer settle for a well-done profile. They need multiple and consistent evidence that your business exists, operates, and is trustworthy.
When you're listed on multiple platforms with the same data (Name, Address, Phone, and Web), you're telling Google:
“This business is real. It's active. And it has a presence across the entire digital ecosystem.”
This process is called Citation Building and, according to the 2026 SEO Guide, it's one of the keys to transforming your business from “invisible” to AI-recommended entity.
Are you out of the local top 3? This might be the cause
Even if:
You have good service
You already have a Google Business Profile
You have a professional website
…you may not be appearing on Google's local map simply because Google still doesn't trust you enough.
And if you're not in the top 3, customers:
Don't see you
Don't call you
Go to your competition
