Ranked by ToolGPA on Oct 24, 2026 · listings checked up to Oct 23, 2026
Keep your Google Business Profile and listings right, track rankings across a map and get found nearby.
Our top three local SEO tools
Google Business Profile comes first because it is free and sets how a business shows on Google Search and Maps, though it covers Google only and tracks no map rankings. BrightLocal is second for rankings, listings and AI answers in one account, but its platform works only in the US, UK, Canada and Australia. Localo is third for businesses elsewhere, as it works in any language and country. Whitespark narrowly missed: its tools start at $1 a location a month, but each is billed on its own, so a full set adds up.
First: Google Business Profile
Free
For: Every local business that serves customers in person
Google Business Profile is Google's free listing. Once verified, you set hours, photos, services and a service area on Google Search and Maps, reply to reviews, post offers and events, and see the searches, calls and direction requests that came from the profile, in a browser or the iPhone and Android apps. Chains with 10 or more locations get bulk upload and the API at no charge. Know the limits: it covers Google only, with no map rank tracking and no Bing, Apple Maps or Yelp; nothing can be edited until Google verifies the profile by a method it chooses; and online-only businesses cannot have one.
Google Business Profile pricing and detailsSecond: BrightLocal
Free trial · from $31/mo
For: Businesses and agencies tracking map rankings and listings
BrightLocal tracks local rankings for up to 100 keywords per location, maps them on a geogrid, audits listings and citations, and checks whether ChatGPT, Google AI Mode and AI Overviews recommend a business, with white-label reports. Track is $31 a month for one location billed annually ($41 monthly), after a 14-day trial with no card. It is second because it costs money from the start and the platform works only in the US, UK, Canada and Australia. Listing sync needs Manage at $40, review replies Grow at $49, and Citation Builder is paid per site on top.
BrightLocal pricing and detailsThird: Localo
Free trial · from $39/mo
For: Businesses outside the US, UK, Canada and Australia
Localo works in any language and country. For a Google Business Profile it maps rankings for each keyword across a grid, writes and schedules posts to Google and Facebook with AI, keeps every Google review in one place, guards the profile against unwanted edits and hands out weekly tasks. Single Business is $39 a month ($389 a year), after a 14-day trial with no card. It is third because it costs more than BrightLocal's Track for one location, there is no free plan, Pro plans optimize only half the profiles they connect (Pro 10 connects 10 and optimizes 5), and plans renew without a reminder.

Common questions
What are the best local SEO tools?
As of Oct 24, 2026, ToolGPA ranks Google Business Profile first (for: every local business that serves customers in person), BrightLocal second (for: businesses and agencies tracking map rankings and listings), Localo third (for: businesses outside the US, UK, Canada and Australia).
How does ToolGPA rank local SEO tools?
From what each tool's own pages show (price, free plan, platforms, features and limits) and from what people say about it in public reviews and discussions. Not from our own testing. First place goes to the tool that suits the most people, and second and third to the best choices for the readers it leaves out.
