Every fact on this page names its source and the date it was checked. Where a claim cannot be supported, it does not appear.
AZ Citation Services at azcitationservices.com sells manual citation work to local businesses: consistent business name, address and phone details with a written description, placed across universal, industry and geographic directories. Cleanup corrects inaccurate entries and duplicates on the sites in the package, and existing listings can be updated where AZ created them or the buyer supplies access.
Buyers choose directory types and quantities, but AZ does not share the directory list before posting, and listing logins are handed over only where possible. Each finished order brings an email report with live listing addresses, and there is no customer platform. Orders are one-time purchases the buyer owns, with an explicit promise of no downgrade after the service ends and optional paid refresh work later.
The contact page names AZ Citation Service Inc. of Arlington, Virginia, with a phone number and email address; incorporation and founding year are not published. Ordering takes card payment upfront, and no service terms covering refunds, cancellation or failed-listing cover are published. The public review record is thin: one review on a claimed Trustpilot profile.
Link-building services the company names on its own site, checked 2026-09-05. Catalogues change, so treat the list as dated.

Confirm the buying details before paying. The pages show dollar-symbol amounts per citation type with an optional cleanup add-on, but billing currency, taxes and minimum order are unconfirmed; confirm the total before paying. Payment is taken upfront by card, no cancellation or refund terms are published, and cover for failed listings is unknown. The public review record is a single review, so confirm scope, timing and reporting in writing before ordering.

How the position is calculated: on each eligible ranking, rated providers are ordered by Service Fit Score only. That order is converted to a 0–100 value, and the values are averaged equally across the company's appearances. Rankings that do not include the company are omitted from the average.
Equal Service Fit Scores share the average of the positions they cover. A gap under 0.5 points is a tie: shared rank, alphabetical order, no hidden tie-breaker.
Each fact below comes from a primary source, such as the company's own pages or a public register, and was checked on 2026-09-05.
Operating model
The company's own description of its model: manual creation of structured business listings with name, address, phone, website and written description, in universal, niche and geographic directories chosen per order, plus correction of inaccurate entries and duplicates on the sites in the package. Intake asks for hours, payment methods, social details, logo and photos, with duplicate checks before new directories are selected.
