It costs $10, paid once. - You could make: Review collection and qR codes: 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: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself. - You could not: What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: roles and permissions.
