Which one is for you
Pick GBPPromote if
- Fits if you run one location and want Google posts and review replies automated for $16 a month
- Works for freelancers managing 2 to 7 client profiles at one flat price
Look elsewhere if
- Watch out: the homepage offers a 3-day trial with no card, but the pricing FAQ says the software is paid from day one
- Watch out: rank scans spend 1 credit per map pin, so a 10x10 grid uses 100, and more credits cost extra
- Pricey if you have two locations, as the flat price for 2 to 7 jumps to $37 a month
- Not for you if you want a free plan, as the 12 free browser tools sit apart from the platform
- Skip it if you want a desktop or phone app, as it runs in the browser only
Pick Localo if
- Fits if you own one local business and want a weekly list of fixes for your Google profile
- Works for freelancers and agencies managing up to 120 client profiles in any country
Look elsewhere if
- Watch out: Pro plans connect more profiles than they optimize, so Pro 10 connects 10 but optimizes 5
- Watch out: plans renew automatically without a reminder, and there's no free plan after the 14-day trial
- Tight if you want an account manager, as one only comes from Pro 30 at $149 a month
- Pricey if you manage more than 120 client profiles, where the price is a custom quote
- Skip it if you want a desktop or phone app, as Localo runs in the browser only

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
