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

Hey all good mozzers - For my new publishing company, would you recommend building on a Wordpress Platform or a different CMS? I want it to look great to user and also allow me to fully optimize it for ranking purposes - thanks
Hey all good mozzers - For my new publishing company, would you recommend building on a Wordpress Platform or a different CMS? I want it to look great to user and also allow me to fully optimize it for ranking purposes - thanks. Seems like Wordpress has a ton of possibility and is much cheaper - but I don't want to do all that work if it is not as strong for SEO purposes - I like to use CMS made simple typically because it is exactly what it claims: simple Advise me please - and then let me know who you think might be able to help me build the best professional site? company or individual? thanks ben

How do I delete labels from the list of labels we've used?
How do we delete labels from the pulldown in moz, that we already created, but no longer use. The function "delete labels" only deletes labels off of certain keywords. But we cant figure out how to remove unused labels completely from the list of labels. Thanks, Thanks, Andrew

I want to create a report of only de duplicate content pages as a csv file so i can create a script to canonicalize them.
I want to create a report of only de duplicate content pages as a csv file so i can create a script to canonicalize them. So i get something like: http://example.com/page1, http://example.com/page2, http://example.com/page3, http://example.com/page4, Because I now have to open each in "Issue: Duplicate Page Content", and this takes a lot of time. The same for duplicate page title.

OSE lists dead links
Going over the link profile of a competitor who gets 5x the traffic we do.... of course frustrated that the majority of their links are spam blogs (full of words but don't communicate anything) and forum profiles. Thanks Google for telling me what not to do, then rewarding my competitor for doing it shamelessly. Question regarding sites listed by Open Site Explorer as linking to said competitor, but that don't even load when I visit their url. Some go to a godaddy parked page, like the domain name expired long ago. Is this simply a limitation of OSE, and can I assume Google has indexed differently and therefore awarding no link juice from these urls?

Links listed in MozPro Crawl Diagnostics
Ok, seeing as I'm getting to the end of my first week as a Pro Member, I'm getting more and more feedback regarding the pages on my site. I'm slightly concerned though that, having logged in this morning, I'm being shown 407 warnings for pages with 'Too Many On Page Links.' According to the blurb at the top of the page, 'Too Many' is generally defined as being over 100 links on a page ... but when I look at the pages which are being thrown up in the report, none of them contain anywhere near 100 links. I seriously doubt there is a glitch with the tool which has led me to think that maybe there's an issue with the way my site is coded. Is anyone aware of a coding problem that may lead Google and SEOMoz to suspect that I have a load of links across my site? P.S. As an aside, when this tool mentions 'Too Many Links' is it referring purely to OBL or does it count links to elsewhere on my domain too? Cheers,
