Local Dominator report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 23, 2026
Best for map, search and AI rankings in one tracker
Local Dominator maps your Google Maps rankings on a geogrid, follows your regular Google rankings and tracks how often ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Grok mention you, from $33 a month for one profile on yearly billing. Scans run on monthly credits, the API and white-label reports start at Pro, and listings beyond Google cost extra.
Who Local Dominator is for
- Fits if you want map, Google search and AI answer rankings for a business in one tool
- Works for agencies reporting geogrid rankings for up to 200 client profiles
Who Local Dominator is not for
- Watch out: geogrid and AI scans spend credits, and once they run out you pay an extra subscription charge
- Tight if you need the API or white-label reports, which start at Pro, $81 a month billed annually
- Skip it if you need listings managed beyond Google Business Profile, which costs extra
- Watch out: plan cards promise credit rollover only from Pro and Enterprise, while the FAQ says credits roll over monthly
- Tight if you're on Lite, with 1 team member, as listing management and review velocity start at Advanced ($49)
Why Local Dominator gets a 2.2
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyLite is $33 a month for one profile on yearly billing, $39 monthly, with 5,000 credits, between this category's middle ($31) and dearer quarter ($59). The API and white-label reports wait on Pro at $81.
- CFree plan and trialNo free plan, but a 7-day trial of Lite with no card needed.
- CFeaturesGeogrid heatmaps, Google search rankings, AI answer tracking on six assistants, profile edits, posts and Q&A, a site audit and AI tips. Gaps in the listing: listings beyond Google Business Profile are an extra charge, and the review tool starts at Advanced.
- CEase of useNo rating on record. You set grids, keywords and AI prompts and budget monthly credits across them, and the plan cards and FAQ disagree on whether unused credits roll over.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with no desktop or phone app. It connects to Google Business Profile and has a public API, including AI Tracker data, from Pro up.

Keep Local Dominator, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Local Dominator 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.
It costs $396 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.
- 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.
- A crawler that checks every page of a site.
- It plugs into other products, Google Business Profile, ChatGPT and Claude among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. Local Dominator’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.
