Hi 1akal,
Drilling further down into the GetListed.org page vzPRO linked to, you will find two sections that will help you:
https://getlisted.org/static/resources/local-citations-by-city.html
https://getlisted.org/static/resources/local-citations-by-category.html
I also recommend that you check out the Local Search Ecosystem 2013 infographic to understand the relationship between data providers:
http://moz.com/blog/2013-local-search-ecosystems
Adam Steele wrote a very good post on US citations earlier this year:
http://www.leanmarketing.ca/lean-top-50-best-local-citation-sources-in-the-usa/
However, if you are not located in a major city, you may not find a lot of preexisting lists of things like classified, local blogs, news sites, etc., for your city. You will likely need to do your research beyond the broad data provided by resources like the ones I've linked to, above. In that event, you will need to learn how to judge the quality of a citation. There is no standardized way to do so, but I really like Darren Shaw's article on this topic:
http://www.whitespark.ca/blog/post/12-how-to-identify-quality-citation-sources
Hope these resources help you!

I've linked to a basic version of one I've built and use for my clients. It's not ALL of them but the ones listed are free. You'll still need to find directories in your local area that will help them but it's a good starting point.
You can also use a service like Yext.com for more but there is a fee to use them.
Also, here is some resources for citation building best practices. These are from getlisted.org a company owned by Moz.com:

Blog article split into a few pages
Hi, I came across multiple websites where blog articles are split into multiple pages and once you reach the end of the page, you need to click 'Next' or '2/3' to continue reading. Is this a good practice? I understand you keep clicking through multiple pages instead of reading an article only on one page, but you also split the strength of the targeted keyword between multiple pages. Can anyone advise? Thanks Katarina

Does Moz have any tools to see the amount of traffic certain keywords bring us in search? Does anyone know any tools that give the actual traffic numbers?
We're looking for numerical data on the amount of traffic that keywords receive, regardless of their rank in Moz. Thanks!

.com vs. .us for the same company in the US?
How does google react when there is a .com and a .us in the same geographic area as with the United States? Wouldn't google prefer the .com over the.us? Even with different content on the site, I would think google would choose one over the other. Would you have to use a 301 redirect or would just geotargeting do it? I'm not interested in using both just to use them, there is discussion between a US corporation and it's US region.

404 : Errors in crawl report - all pages are listed with index.html on a WordPress site
Hi Mozers, I have recently submitted a website using moz, which has pulled up a second version of every page on the WordPress site as a 404 error with index.html at the end of the URL. e.g Live page URL - http://www.autostemtechnology.com/applications/civil-blasting/ Report page URL - http://www.autostemtechnology.com/applications/civil-blasting/index.html The permalink structure is set as /%postname%/ For some reason the report has listed every page with index.html at the end of the page URL. I have tried a number of redirects in the .htaccess file but doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions will be strongly appreciated. Thanks

Batch lookup domain authority on list of URL's?
I found this site the describes how to use excel to batch lookup url's using seomoz api. The only problem is the seomoz api times out and returns 1 if I try dragging the formula down the cells which leaves me copying, waiting 5 seconds and copying again. This is basically as slow as manually looking up each url. Does anyone know a workaround?
