The report card
Best for agencies working on Google Business Profiles
GMB Crush bundles geogrid scans, profile audits, competitor research, AI Overview checks, post scheduling and video training for people who work on Google Business Profiles, from $30 a month on annual billing. Every scan and audit spends monthly credits, the 14-day trial costs $9.99, and nothing here syncs your listing to other directories.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Sidekick is $30 a month billed annually ($359.99 a year), $39.99 monthly, about this category's middle ($31), for 25 synced profiles. The bigger plans are $70.83 and $116.67 a month on annual billing. |
| Free plan and trial | D | The free account only gets you the Chrome extension for checking Maps results from any address. The app's tools need a plan or a 14-day trial that costs $9.99. |
| Features | C | Geogrid scans, profile and website audits, backlink and People Also Ask research, AI Overview and LLM checks, post scheduling, review replies and a lead finder. The gap is in the listing: it covers Google Business Profile only, with no sync to other directories. |
| Ease of use | C | No rating on record. Every scan, audit and lookup spends credits split by feature, so you budget them across your connected Google accounts and profiles. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | A web app and a Chrome extension, with no desktop or phone app. It connects to Google Business Profile, Google Analytics, Search Console, Claude and Skool. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who GMB Crush is for
- Fits if you're a freelancer or agency whose work is mostly Google Business Profiles
- Works for agencies that prospect for clients from Maps rankings
Who it is not for
- Not for you if you want to try it free, as the 14-day trial costs $9.99
- Skip it if you need listings pushed to other directories, as it covers Google Business Profile only
- Tight if you scan a lot, as Sidekick has 50 GeoGrid and 25 general credits a month and a 9x9 grid costs 3
- Watch out: on monthly billing several training courses stay locked
- Watch out: GBP Guard, which locks profile fields against outside edits, is still in beta
Good to know
Good for

- On monthly billing several training courses stay locked; annual billing opens the full training library on every plan.
- It covers Google Business Profile only; there is no listing sync to other directories.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace GMB Crush 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: 34 of the 61 other local SEO tools grade higher. It costs $360 a year.
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.
- An index of the links between billions of web pages.
- Daily checks of where your pages rank in search results.
- The same prompts asked of ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI answers every day, and the answers kept.
- It plugs into other products, Google Business Profile, Google Analytics and Google Search Console among them.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. GMB Crush’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.
