I have been working on citations for about 9 years now, and when I started I was a grocery store cashier. It started basically as data entry, without a firm grasp on what exactly I was doing. Over those years my department has seen people come and go, but I have managed to stick around with an actual interest in this field. I have done a lot to learn more specifics than just "copy and paste the info into Brownbook" and such. Everything I have learned over the years has been through independent research and forums like this one.
I had a client recently asking about all of our employees credentials and I was like... well I am Google Ads certified! But that didn't apply specifically to citations. As someone basically self taught, I tend to have imposter syndrome even after nearly a decade, so this kind of things keeps me... well keeps me online after already putting in 10 hours!
So are there sources that stay on top of SEO trends regarding citations specifically? Are there "courses" similar to the Google Ads certification that are legit and valid and provide more insight? How do you guys keep up on the changes and know what the best course of action is when it comes to citations?
