Best for listings and inventory ads for big chains
dbaPlatform keeps business listings right on Google, Apple and Microsoft for chains, franchises and agencies, with bulk tools for Google posts, photos and reviews, plus local inventory ads for car dealers and retailers.

Who dbaPlatform is for
- Fits if you manage listings for hundreds of chain or franchise locations
- Works for car dealers and retailers running local inventory ads on Google and Microsoft
Who dbaPlatform is not for
- Watch out: no prices are published, so every product is quoted on a sales call
- Not for you if you want to try it first, as there's no self-serve signup or trial
- Skip it if you're outside its industries, such as vehicle dealers, service stations, restaurants, retail and healthcare
- Skip it if you need rank tracking, as none is on record

Keep dbaPlatform, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace dbaPlatform you would be making listings sent to dozens of directories and map apps, which takes an agreement with each. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 47 of the 61 other local SEO tools grade higher.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Listings sent to dozens of directories and map apps, which takes an agreement with each.
- It plugs into other products, Google Business Profile, Apple Business Connect and Bing Places among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. dbaPlatform’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
