The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/local-seo ## Keep it, 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. - You could make: Reports: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: Listings sent to dozens of directories and map apps, which takes an agreement with each. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Google Business Profile, Apple Business Connect and Bing Places among them, and has an API. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool.
