GMB Briefcase schedules AI-written posts, answers reviews, tracks Maps rankings on a grid and checks AI answers across many Google Business Profiles from one dashboard.

If you run one business, you pay for 39 profiles you don't have. - **Value for money: D.** The cheapest plan is $99 a month for 40 profiles, so its floor sits in this category's dearest tenth ($99 and up). That's about $2.48 a profile for an agency that fills it, but one business pays the full $99. - **Free plan and trial: D.** No free plan.

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: 58 of the 61 other local SEO tools grade higher. It costs $1,188 a year. - You could make: Review collection and reports: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Listings sent to dozens of directories and map apps, which takes an agreement with each. - You could not: Daily checks of where your pages rank in search results. - You could not: The same prompts asked of ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI answers every day, and the answers kept. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
