Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.0
GPA, above 15 of the 61 other local SEO tools we grade
LocalRank is a local SEO platform for agencies that combines a Google Maps rank tracker, citation submission to more than 550 directories, Google Business Profile automation and a database of local business leads. Newer tools check whether ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity recommend a business and publish AI-written listicles that mention it. Plans are priced by the number of locations.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about LocalRank, taken from its own pages and our grades.
Rank tracking runs on credits, and the pages read don't say what one credit buys, so it's hard to tell what a month covers.
- 1
Best for rank tracking and citation building together
LocalRank tracks Google Maps rankings, submits your details to more than 550 directories, checks whether ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity recommend you and automates Google profiles, from $47.50 a month for one location on yearly billing.
- 2
Paid plans start at $47.50 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $47.50 per month for 1 location, billed annually ($57 billed monthly).

Web.
- 5
Local rank tracker
Scans Google Maps rankings on a schedule or on demand, covers service-area businesses, separates local pack from organic results, and shares live or white-label reports.
- 6
Citation building
Submits a business's name, address and phone to more than 550 directories in one step, with bulk edits and deletions; faster indexing is a $20-per-run add-on.
- 7
AI Recommendation Monitor
Checks whether ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity recommend a business for set queries and gives a visibility percentage for each scan.
- 8
A 2.0 GPA, above 15 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 LocalRank 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 rank tracking and citation building together
LocalRank tracks Google Maps rankings, submits your details to more than 550 directories, checks whether ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity recommend you and automates Google profiles, from $47.50 a month for one location on yearly billing. Review tools, the AI autopilot and leads wait on Pro at $247.50, and its money-back promise isn't backed by its own terms.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D | Starter is $47.50 a month for one location on yearly billing, $57 monthly, between this category's middle ($31) and dearer quarter ($59), for citations and rank tracking. Review Booster, the AI autopilot and leads sit on Pro at $247.50, about eight times the middle. |
| Free plan and trial | C | No free plan, but a free trial with no card needed. The pages don't say how long it lasts. |
| Features | B | Scheduled and on-demand Maps rank tracking that handles service areas, citation submission to 550+ directories, AI answer monitoring, profile posts and review replies, and a leads database. It covers the whole job; its LLM Citations are articles on its own sites. |
| Ease of use | C | No rating on record. Rank tracking runs on credits, and the pages read don't say what one credit buys, so it's hard to tell what a month covers. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only, with no desktop or phone app, and the only integration on record is Google Business Profile. |
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 LocalRank is for
- Fits if you're an agency wanting rank tracking and citation building under one subscription
- Works for businesses that need a whole service area tracked, not just one address
Who it is not for
- Pricey if you want review tools or the AI autopilot, as they start at Pro, $247.50 a month on yearly billing
- Watch out: the homepage promises money back if rankings don't rise in 90 days, but the terms say fees aren't refundable
- Watch out: LLM Citations are AI-written listicles on LocalRank's own sites that rank you first, not coverage earned elsewhere
- Tight if you budget scans, as the pages don't say what one rank tracker credit buys
- Watch out: faster indexing of your citations is a $20-per-run add-on
Good to know

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 LocalRank 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 $570 a year.
What you could make
- Review collection and reports: an app builder makes these 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.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. LocalRank’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.
