| Pricing | From $39 USD/month (per pricing page meta description; tier prices render client-side and are not published in page HTML) · free tier: 14-day free trial with full access, no credit card required; free no-cost tools; free account can buy Citation Builder without a subscription | $224/month annual-discounted view on the pricing page; G2 vendor-provided list price $249.00/month for 2,000 keywords · free tier: Free trial terms not verified in this session |

| Best for | Local and multi-location businesses, and SEO agencies serving them, in the US, UK, Canada or Australia whose priority is map-pack visibility, listing accuracy and review flow — especially agencies needing white-labelled client reporting or one-off citation building. | Agencies and in-house teams whose core pain is accurate, daily, large-scale rank and SERP-feature tracking across many domains and markets, who already own Ahrefs or Semrush for backlinks and audits, and who want AI-search visibility tracking in the same tool. |
| Avoid if | You need a general SEO platform (backlinks, technical crawls, national keyword research), operate outside the four supported countries, require a firm budget before sign-up, expect to downsize mid-term, or want to buy a single module cheaply at low location counts. | You need one tool to cover backlinks, audits and content, you are tracking both mobile and desktop on a tight budget, you need API or Looker Studio access on the entry plan, or you require fully white-labelled client dashboards. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
