Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.8
GPA, above 4 of the 61 other local SEO tools we grade
Local Pack Monster keeps a Google Business Profile active for local service businesses such as plumbers, roofers and cleaners. Each week it publishes posts written around chosen keywords and towns, replies to new 4- and 5-star reviews, and sends lower ratings to the owner instead of answering them. Higher plans also answer common local questions on the profile and show map rank heatmaps. It is priced by how many Google profiles it runs.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Local Pack Monster, taken from its own pages and our grades.
You connect the Google profile and pick the services and towns to post about, and after that it runs on its own.
- 1
Best for hands-off posts and review replies on Google
Local Pack Monster posts to a Google Business Profile every week and replies to new 4- and 5-star reviews, leaving the low ones for you, from $59 a month for one profile.
- 2
Paid plans start at $59 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $59 per month for 1 Google profile, billed monthly.

Web.
- 5
Weekly profile posts
Publishes posts to the Google Business Profile every week, written around the services and towns the business wants to be found for.
- 6
Replies to good reviews
Answers new 4- and 5-star reviews in a short, medium or long style; The Monster and up also work through old unanswered reviews.
- 7
Alerts for bad reviews
Reviews of 1 to 3 stars are never answered automatically; they are sent to the owner to handle.
- 8
A 1.8 GPA, above 4 of 61
That is against the other local SEO tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
Keep it
To replace Local Pack Monster 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.

The report card
Best for hands-off posts and review replies on Google
Local Pack Monster posts to a Google Business Profile every week and replies to new 4- and 5-star reviews, leaving the low ones for you, from $59 a month for one profile. Rank heatmaps and local question answers wait on The Monster at $99, it works on Google alone, and it stops at five profiles.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D | The Spawn is $59 a month for one profile, where this category's dearer quarter starts ($59), for posts and replies to good reviews. Heatmaps and question answers need The Monster at $99, where the dearest tenth starts. |
| Free plan and trial | C | No free plan, but a 7-day free trial on every plan, started with an email or a Google login. The page doesn't mention a card. |
| Features | C | Weekly keyword posts, replies to good reviews, alerts for 1- to 3-star ones, answers to local questions and Maps heatmaps. The gap is in the listing: it works on Google Business Profile only, with no other directories or review sites. |
| Ease of use | C | No rating on record. You connect the Google profile and pick the services and towns to post about, and after that it runs on its own. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only, with no desktop or phone app, and its one integration is Google Business Profile. No API is on record. |
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.

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 Local Pack Monster 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. It costs $708 a year.
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.
What this rests on. Local Pack Monster’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.
