SOCi sells brand-trained AI agents that do local marketing work for companies with hundreds or thousands of locations. A Local Search agent manages listings, local pages and Google posts, a Reputation agent answers reviews and runs surveys and chat, and a Social agent plans and publishes posts. Each quote is built from the number of locations and the agents chosen; no prices are published. - **Category:** Local SEO Tools - **Made by:** SOCi, Inc. - **Website:** https://www.soci.ai - **Runs on:** Web, iOS, Android - **Who should skip it:** Skip it if you're one small business, as there's no plan for a single location. - **Facts last checked:** Oct 23, 2026 ## Pricing SOCi's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site. ## Key features - **Genius Local Search Agent:** Manages and optimizes listings, publishes Google posts, updates hours and categories, builds local pages with analytics, and runs search ads. - **Genius Reputation Agent:** Replies to reviews, flags sensitive ones, requests new reviews, analyzes sentiment, sends customer surveys and answers website chats around the clock. - **Genius Social Agent:** Plans content calendars, generates images and video, publishes local posts, replies to comments and messages, and boosts posts as ads. - **Brand training:** Each agent is set up on the brand's voice, workflows and locations before it is deployed, and works across every location at once. - **No per-listing fees:** Price follows locations and agents, not seats, social profiles or listings, so managing more listings per location costs the same. ## Good for - Franchises and chains with hundreds or thousands of locations - Brands that want reviews answered and social posts published for each location - Central marketing teams handing routine local work to AI agents ## Worth knowing - No prices are published: each quote depends on the number of locations and the agents and skills chosen. - There is no free trial; the vendor scopes every deployment through a demo and quote. - Some skills carry usage limits set by the package, which can be raised as needs grow. - Built for enterprise brands; the site offers no plan for a single small business. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 1.8 out of 4**, graded Oct 23, 2026. SOCi sells AI agents that manage listings and Google posts, answer reviews and run surveys and chat, and plan and publish social posts across hundreds or thousands of locations. It's built for big chains only: there's no small-business plan, no published price and no trial, and some agent skills have usage limits set by the package. - **Value for money: C.** No price is published. Each quote is built on a sales call from your number of locations and the agents you pick, so there's nothing to compare with this category's $31 middle. It doesn't charge per seat or per listing. - **Free plan and trial: F.** Nothing free. There's no free plan or trial; every deployment is scoped through a demo and a quote. - **Features: C.** Agents for listings, local pages, Google posts and search ads, for review replies, review requests, surveys and website chat, and for social posts and comments. Gaps: no rank tracking on record, and some skills carry package usage limits. - **Ease of use: C.** No rating on record. Each agent is trained on your brand's voice, workflows and locations before it goes live, so setup runs through SOCi's team. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, plus iPhone and Android apps, with no desktop app. The only integration on record is Google Business Profile. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from SOCi's own pages on 23 October 2026.

The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/local-seo ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** To replace SOCi 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. - You could make: Review collection and surveys: 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: An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. - You could not: A chatbot builder hooked into the messaging apps. - You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool.
