What You Need to Know About Local Citation Services for Businesses in Portugal
Tumblr media
For businesses in Portugal aiming to improve their local SEO, local citation building services are crucial for boosting visibility in search engine results. Local citations are online mentions of your business, including details like your name, address, phone number (NAP), and website URL. These citations help search engines validate your business and its location, enhancing your chances of being found by potential customers. In this blog post, we’ll explore the importance of local citation services, why they matter for businesses in Portugal, and how you can leverage them to improve your online presence.
What Are Local Citations and Why Are They Important?
Local citations are a vital part of local search engine optimization (SEO). When you submit your business information to online directories and platforms, search engines like Google use these mentions to verify that your business is legitimate and relevant to a specific location. Accurate and consistent citations can significantly improve your ranking in local search results, helping potential customers in Portugal discover your business more easily.
In addition to improving SEO rankings, local citations help establish credibility and trustworthiness for your business. The more places your business appears across trusted directories, the more confident search engines will be in displaying your business in relevant searches. As a result, you can expect to see increased organic traffic, local visibility, and more business opportunities.
The Role of Local Citation Services in Portugal
For businesses in Portugal, the process of building local citations can be time-consuming and complex. It involves submitting your business to a variety of local directories, ensuring that your NAP information is consistent across platforms, and managing reviews and other directory-related tasks. Local citation building services offer a streamlined solution to handle all of these aspects efficiently. These services work to list your business on top Portuguese directories, ensuring that your citations are consistent, accurate, and widespread.
Some of the top directories to consider submitting your business to in Portugal include:

By ensuring your business is listed on these directories, you can significantly improve your chances of being discovered by local customers. Local citation services help manage your listings across multiple platforms, making it easier to keep track of your business’s online presence and reputation.
Best Practices for Building Local Citations in Portugal
When submitting your business to directories in Portugal, there are a few best practices to follow:
Consistency: Ensure your business name, address, phone number, and website URL are the same across all platforms. Inconsistent information can confuse search engines and hurt your SEO rankings.

The hummingbird hawk-moth (Macroglossum stellatarum) is a species of hawk moth found across temperate regions of Eurasia. The species is named for its similarity to hummingbirds, as they feed on the nectar of tube-shaped flowers using their long proboscis while hovering in the air; this resemblance is an example of convergent evolution.
The hummingbird hawk-moth is distributed throughout the northern Old World from Portugal to Japan, but it breeds mainly in warmer climates (southern Europe, North Africa, and points east). Three generations are produced in a year in Spain. There is evidence that the population in the British Isles is actively expanding its range, as numbers have been consistently increasing. In addition, it is believed that this population is becoming resident instead of migratory, as warmer temperatures due to climate change are allowing individuals to overwinter.
It is a strong flier, dispersing widely in the summer. However it rarely survives the winter in northern latitudes (e.g. north of the Alps in Europe, north of the Caucasus in Russia).
Moths in the genus Hemaris, also of the family Sphingidae, are known as "hummingbird moths" in the US, and "bee moths" in Europe.[citation needed] This sometimes causes confusion between this species and the North American genus.
Its long proboscis (25–28 mm (1.0–1.1 in)) and its hovering behavior, accompanied by an audible humming noise, make it look remarkably like a hummingbird while feeding on flowers. Like hummingbirds, it feeds on flowers which have tube-shaped corollae. It should not be confused with the moths called hummingbird moths in North America, genus Hemaris, members of the same family and with similar appearance and behavior. The resemblance to hummingbirds is an example of convergent evolution. It flies during the day, especially in bright sunshine, but also at dusk, dawn, and even in the rain, which is unusual for even diurnal hawkmoths. M. stellatarum engages in free hovering flight, which allows more maneuverability and control than fixed-wing flight, despite high energetic cost. Like many large insects, it relies upon Johnston's organs for body positioning information.
The hummingbird hawkmoth's visual abilities have been studied extensively, and they have demonstrated a relatively good ability to learn colours. They have a trichromatic visual system, and are most sensitive to wavelength in the range of 349-521 nm. They have been shown to discriminate a wavelength difference as small as 1–2 nm between sources. This discrimination is even more precise than Apis mellifera, or the western honey bee. Among other flower visitors, their visual system is similar to Papilio xuthus, or the Asian swallowtail butterfly, and Deilephila elpenor, the nocturnal elephant hawkmoth. Their food preference is based mainly on visual identification, while D. elpenor preference relies upon olfactory identification. Compared to D. elpenor, M. stellatarum have a much smaller number of ommatidia, but a larger optic lobe volume to provide more visual processing tissue.

THE ESTABLISHMENT OF CHATTEL SLAVERY BY THE CATHOLIC POPE NICHOLAS V 6/18/1452
Papal Bull Dum Diversas 18 June, 1452
Permalink
Pope Nicholas V issued the papal bull Dum Diversas on 18 June, 1452. It authorised Alfonso V of Portugal to reduce any “Saracens (Muslims) and pagans and any other unbelievers” to perpetual slavery.
This facilitated the Portuguese slave trade from West Africa.
The same pope wrote the bull Romanus Pontifex on January 5, 1455 to the same Alfonso. As a follow-up to the Dum diversas, it extended to the Catholic nations of Europe dominion over discovered lands during the Age of Discovery. Along with sanctifying the seizure of non-Christian lands, it encouraged the enslavement of native, non-Christian peoples in Africa and the New World.
“We weighing all and singular the premises with due meditation, and noting that since we had formerly by other letters of ours granted among other things free and ample faculty to the aforesaid King Alfonso – to invade, search out, capture, vanquish, and subdue all Saracens and pagans whatsoever, and other enemies of Christ wheresoever placed, and the kingdoms, dukedoms, principalities, dominions, possessions, and all movable and immovable goods whatsoever held and possessed by them and to reduce their persons to perpetual slavery, and to apply and appropriate to himself and his successors the kingdoms, dukedoms, counties, principalities, dominions, possessions, and goods, and to convert them to his and their use and profit – by having secured the said faculty, the said King Alfonso, or, by his authority, the aforesaid infante, justly and lawfully has acquired and possessed, and doth possess, these islands, lands, harbors, and seas, and they do of right belong and pertain to the said King Alfonso and his successors”.
In 1493 Alexander VI issued the bull Inter Caetera stating one Christian nation did not have the right to establish dominion over lands previously dominated by another Christian nation, thus establishing the Law of Nations. Together, the Dum Diversas, the Romanus Pontifex and the Inter Caetera came to serve as the basis and justification for the Doctrine of Discovery, the global slave-trade of the 15th and 16th centuries, and the Age of Imperialism.

Rohl v Parr: A blog post by Middle Temple Library Intern Natasha Southall.
For the past few months I have been transcribing and cataloguing MS17, ‘Cases at Nisi Prius’, containing nominate reports of cases at Nisi Prius. The manuscript belonged to Sir Vicary Gibbs (1751-1820), and may have been written by him. The cases date from the 1760s to 1810s and vary in nature, from libel charges and indictments of fraud, to actions of trover and bills of exchange. I came across several insurance claims for ships that had been damaged at sea. In most of these cases, the contents of the cargo were not specified. One which caught my attention was a case brought by the slaver named Rohl in 1796, where two significant details of the circumstances of the claim are provided: at one point during the voyage there was a slave insurrection, resulting in the death of eight enslaved Africans, and the ship was “destroyed by destructive worms that infest the River of Africa” (folios 128-129). Both factors were integral in determining the success of the insurance claim in court.
Tumblr media
1. Rohl’s voyage from Saint Barthélemy to Cape Coast (original map from www.freeworldmaps.net)
On 1st September 1792, the Zumbee sailed from St Bartholomew (Saint Barthélemy) to the River Gombroon on the coast of Africa [1]. Here, it was reported, a slave insurrection resulted in the loss of eight slaves (seven were killed and one died from falling) out of a total of forty-nine. The report claimed that the ship then struggled to get to Cape Coast because the bottom had been “taken by the worm”, likely to be toredo worms/shipworms, which were a common cause of damage to wooden ships in this period. At Cape Coast, the ship was “condemned as irreparable” and sold.
Tumblr media
2. Rohl v Parr, folio 128 with ‘worms’ in the margin
The insurance claim was predicated on the policy of damage due to ‘peril at sea’. However, Lord Kenyon and the special jury agreed that the destruction by shipworms, being “an animated substance moving to destroy [the ship]” rather than “an inanimate substance striking against the ship’s bottom”, did not meet the terms of the ‘peril at sea’ policy. Consequently, the counsel for the plaintiff tried instead to recover the partial loss of the enslaved cargo resulting from the slave insurrection. Luckily for Rohl this was granted, as the loss was calculated as more than 5% at the time when the slaves were killed.
Tumblr media
3. Figure 2 Rohl v Parr, folio 129
The transatlantic slave trade witnessed the forced transportation of over twelve million enslaved African men, women and children from Africa across the Atlantic to the Americas. Portugal, Brazil, Britain, France, the Netherlands, Spain, Uruguay, the United States of America and Denmark were all involved. One way we are able to catch a glimpse of the mechanisms underpinning the transatlantic slave trade is through legal records like those in the Gibbs manuscript. The records documenting these horrific and treacherous voyages have been made accessible to the public by the SlaveVoyages initiative [2].
This case of Rohl and Parr does not shed much light on the lives of the individuals who were enslaved and travelled on board the Zumbee; the horrors they must have experienced can only be imagined. The case does make clear, however, the financial risks involved for slavers who embarked on the voyage across the Atlantic to Africa. The underlying threat of insurrection was always on the horizon. Yet it would be the workings of the ‘destructive worms’ that rendered slavers like Rohl defenceless both at sea and in the English courtroom.

Guys want to see an example of language that shifts focus without lying? I was on the Wikipedia article for King Phillip’s War earlier tonight and encountered this passage:
Massasoit had maintained a long-standing alliance with the colonists. Metacom (c. 1638–1676), his younger son, became tribal chief in 1662 after Massasoit's death. Metacom, however, forsook his father's alliance between the Wampanoags and the colonists after repeated violations by the colonists.[8] The colonists insisted that the 1671 peace agreement should include the surrender of Native guns; then three Wampanoags were hanged in Plymouth Colony in 1675 for the murder of another Wampanoag, which increased tensions.
[Source] Emphasis mine.
So to recap, this is what seems to be the order of events: 1) Massasoit, the sechem of the Wampanoags, allies with the colonists. 2) Massasoit dies, and his son Metacom takes over. 3) The colonists insist that as part of the peace agreements, the Wampanoags should dispose of their firearms. 4) The colonists “repeatedly” violate the terms of said agreement. 5) Four years after the gun disposal event, the colonists capture and execute 3 Wampanoag citizens through the colonial justice system instead of the Wampanoag’s justice system. 6) Metacom goes to war against the colonists.
This sequence of events is described as Metacom “forsaking” the alliance that his father made, when a chronological ordering of events seems to suggest that Metacom went to war as a reaction to breach of treaty and the unauthorized  execution of his people [I am assuming that it was unauthorized because the writer is doing everything they can to minimize the colonist’s criminal behavior, and if there was any evidence that Metacom or some other official authorized them to execute criminals the author would have mentioned it]. Note also the use of passive voice here: the sentence begins with “the colonists insisted”, but in the clause after the semicolon, suddenly the three Wampanoag’s “were hanged in Plymouth Colony.” As if it happened by itself. Let’s change to active voice and redo that sentence:
The colonists insisted that the 1671 peace agreement should include the surrender of Native guns; then the colonists hanged three Wampanoags in Plymouth Colony in 1675 for the murder of another Wampanoag, which increased tensions.
But see, that makes it pretty clear who the guilty party is, doesn’t it?
A note before we close: the article later claims that the trial in question had “native elders” on the jury, but there is a big fat citation needed next to it. But even if this were true, it does not say whether these “native elders” were Wampanoag; the victim was a christian convert, so possibly these supposed elders were, too. But even if Metacom himself ordered the hit on this dude, which mr/ms/mx. Citation Needed wants you to believe, the war ended with the Wampanoags being stripped of their land and many of the survivors executed or sold into slavery.
Native losses were much greater, with about 2,000 men killed or who died of injuries in the war, more than 3,000 dying of sickness or starvation, and another 1,000 Natives sold into slavery and transported to other areas, first to British-controlled islands in the Caribbean such as Jamaica and Barbados, then, as captives from the war were banned for further sale, Natives were sold to non-British markets in Spain, Portugal, the Azores, and Madeira.[72]
So yeah. The Plymouth Colonists, at this point the children and grandchildren of the Mayflower pilgrims, lived to evict, kill, and enslave the children and grandchildren of the people who kept their parents and grandparents from dying back in the 1620s.

🔎 ABOUT THIS PROJECT
===============================
Since 2020 we have been working with SeaForester to restore kelp forests in Portugal. These underwater forests are astonishing havens for marine life which also improve water quality and sequester carbon. Unfortunately, large areas of kelp have disappeared from the coast of Portugal but reverting this trend has been difficult. One of the challenges is that restoration efforts tend to require extensive diving which quickly becomes costly and time-consuming. A new technique called “green gravel” has been developed to address this challenge and make large scale marine reforestation possible. It involves growing kelp attached to pebbles in a lab before deploying them at suitable locations in the ocean. For this project, we are building a kelp nursery that will allow us to test this method on a larger scale.

We're there contemporary reports made about Philippa of Lancaster's age at the time of her marriage to the King of Portugal? Wikipedia says there was but it has no citation?
Unfortunately, I don't know much about Philippa of Lancaster, Queen of Portugal. I did check out the biographies of Gaunt I have and couldn't find any commentary on Philippa's age at her wedding beyond Kathryn Warner noting it was "unusual" with no reference to contemporary reports saying the same. I also checked out the Portuguese Wikipedia (via Google Translate) since I figured it would have far better information than anything in English (I've found the same true for Philippa's nieces, Blanche and Philippa of England) and it doesn't mention the story at all. There may be better information in scholarship directed at Philippa herself but I haven't read anything to say for sure. I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

The excellence of research and higher education in Brazil: Deconstructing unfounded stereotypes
The distorted perception of some Portuguese about the quality of higher education and Brazilian research demands a critical and evidence-based analysis. This article aims to deconstruct unfounded stereotypes and present concrete data that highlight the excellence of Brazilian academia. It is common to hear from Portuguese people the devaluation of Brazilian universities, based on stereotypes such as the supposed low quality of teaching, the lack of scientific rigor, and the irrelevance of national scientific production. Such claims, besides being unfounded, ignore the vibrant and dynamic reality of the Brazilian educational system.
To demystify these stereotypes, I present concrete data that prove the excellence of higher education and Brazilian research:
International rankings: QS World University Rankings 2024: USP (University of São Paulo) is ranked 85th, while the University of Porto is at 253rd, and the best Portuguese university, the University of Lisbon, is at the 266th position. Unicamp (State University of Campinas) and UFRJ (Federal University of Rio de Janeiro) also stand out in the 220th and 371st positions respectively among the best in the world.
Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2024: USP ranks in the 201–250 bracket, followed by Unicamp in the 251–300 bracket and UFRJ in the 401–500 bracket. Again, no Portuguese university is found among the top 200 in the world.
Scientific Production: Scopus: In 2022, Brazil was the 13th country in scientific production worldwide, with more than 280,000 articles published. Portugal ranked 38th, with about 60,000 articles.
Web of Science: Brazil also stands out in the quality of scientific production, ranking 14th in citations per article. Portugal is in the 36th position.
Areas of Distinction: Brazil has a strong tradition in research areas such as agriculture, biomedicine, engineering, and physics.
Brazilian researchers are leaders in studies on tropical diseases, biodiversity, and biofuels.
International Recognition: Several Nobel Prizes have been awarded to Brazilian scientists, such as Carlos Chagas (Medicine, 1929) and Peter Doherty (Physiology or Medicine, 1996).
The Brazilian Academy of Sciences (ABC) is a member of the International Council for Science (ICSU), which brings together the leading science academies of the world.
Contrary to what some Portuguese may believe, Brazil has a quality higher education system and a vibrant and productive research sector. Brazilian universities are internationally recognized for their excellence in various areas, and their students and professors are highly qualified. It is crucial to refute unfounded stereotypes about higher education in Brazil and promote recognition of the quality and relevance of Brazilian research in the international academic community.
For those more curious about the subject, here are some valid research topics to delve into initially:

Went searching on wikipedia, and I stand corrected - turns out it Really was part of the crest of royal arms, and based on the Serpa too.
Tumblr media
My own translation: "Perhaps the most important exterior element after the royal crown is the timbre that -at least after the reign of D. João I - becomes a golden dragon or serpe (serpent). It's adoption is probably related to the adoption of St. George as the patron saint of Portugal. The serpe is represented sainte of the royal crown (unsure of the translation of sainte). In the XVII century, the serpe is no longer golden and is now green, a change probably related with the ascension to the throne of House Bragança in 1640, whose main livery colour was exactly the green, which starts being the national colour of Portugal. During the reign of the Braganças, the serpes start being used mostly as supporters of the shield (coat of arms I assume), perhaps due to the adoption of the closed royal crown which doesn't lend itself so well for supporting a timbre as an open crown."
The citation leads to SEIXAS, Miguel Metelo de, Quinas e Castelos, Sinais de Portugal, Lisboa, Fundação Francisco Manuel dos Santos, 2019. Doubt that they have it in any online archive to check, sadly.
I am pleased as punch we get a dragon as a national symbol, but I do say I have rarely seen it used nowadays (besides, again, the sportsballs). If any creature is used to represent national-anything, it would have to be the Barcelos Rooster.

Louisiana Purchase Treaty (1803) | National Archives
In this transaction with France, signed on April 30, 1803, the United States purchased 828,000 square miles of land west of the Mississippi River for $15 million. For roughly 4 cents an acre, the United States doubled its size, expanding the nation westward.
Originally, negotiators Robert Livingston and James Monroe were authorized to pay France up to $10 million solely for the port of New Orleans and the Floridas. However, when they were offered the entire territory of Louisiana – an area larger than Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Portugal combined – the American negotiators swiftly agreed to a price of $15 million.

Exploring the Territory of Serras de Aire e Candeeiros Nature Park: A Hidden Gem for Nature Enthusiasts
The rugged beauty of the Serras de Aire e Candeeiros Nature Park is a beacon for nature enthusiasts and occasional tourists alike, offering a unique and immersive experience in Portugal's central region. In this article, we'll delve into the park's natural and cultural values, and discuss how the SUVisTTa Eco-XP tours can help you make the most of your time in this stunning territory.
The park's 38,900 hectares are characterized by their striking grey and barren landscape, devoid of vegetation and punctuated by imposing cliffs and rocky outcroppings[1]. The lack of surface water courses adds a sense of vigor and drama to the landscape, making it a truly picturesque destination for those who appreciate the beauty of nature.
Uncovering the Park's Hidden Gems
While many visitors flock to the park's notable attractions, such as the Porto de Mos Castle and the Pegadas de Dinossáurios de Ourém/Torres Novas Nature Monument, there's so much more to discover in this diverse region[1]. The park's riparian communities, for example, offer a glimpse into the area's unique ecosystem, while the Salterns, located near the coast, are the site of Portugal's famous salt production[1].
The Serras de Aire e Candeeiros Nature Park is also home to a rich cultural heritage, with architectural influences ranging from Gothic to Renaissance styles. The Porto de Mos Castle, for instance, is adorned with pyramidal domes and green ceramic tiles, making it a must-visit destination for history buffs and architectural enthusiasts alike[1].
The SUVisTTa Eco-XP Difference
While many tour operators offer experiences in the park, the SUVisTTa Eco-XP tours stand out for their commitment to sustainability, personalization, and comfort. By partnering with the Volvo XC90, the SUVisTTa Eco-XP tours provide a luxurious and eco-friendly mode of transportation, allowing you to focus on the beauty of the landscape without worrying about your carbon footprint[3][5].
The personalized nature of the SUVisTTa Eco-XP tours is another key selling point. Each itinerary is tailored to the interests and preferences of the group, ensuring that everyone gets the most out of their time in the park[3][5]. This approach not only enhances the visitor experience but also promotes responsible tourism, as groups are able to explore the park's lesser-known attractions and appreciate its unique charm.
A Final Thought and a Question for You
The Serras de Aire e Candeeiros Nature Park is a treasure trove for nature enthusiasts and occasional tourists alike. By choosing the SUVisTTa Eco-XP tours, you can enjoy a luxurious, personalized, and eco-friendly experience that will leave you with unforgettable memories and a deeper appreciation for the park's natural and cultural values.
