Limits worth knowing in GBPPromote
- The homepage offers a 3-day trial with no card, but the pricing page FAQ says the management software is paid from day one.
- Rank scans spend credits, 1 per map pin, so a 10x10 grid uses 100; more credits are bought separately or come with an upgrade.
- Prices are flat below 8 locations: 1 location is $16 a month and 2 to 7 are $37; per-location pricing starts at 8.
- The 12 free browser tools, such as the GBP audit and rank checker, need no account but are separate from the paid platform.
