## Key features

- **Sydekick agent:** Takes requests in plain language, runs repeatable skills and multi-step playbooks across locations, and logs every action in an approvals inbox and audit trail.
- **Listings sync:** Pushes names, hours, categories and attributes to Google Business Profile, Apple Business Connect, Bing, Facebook and 100+ publishers and data aggregators.
- **Reviews:** Collects reviews per location with drafted replies for approval, and sends review request campaigns to customers.
- **Local rank grid and visibility score:** Geogrid rank tracking block by block for each keyword, plus one findability score per location with the competitors ranking where you do not.
- **AI answer visibility:** Scores each location in ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity, shows whether it is cited and suggests what to fix.
- **Agency tools:** A multi-client command center, a branded client portal, white labeling from Premium, scoped team access, APIs and native MCP support.

## Good for

- Agencies running listings, reviews and social posts for many clients
- Franchises and chains with up to 50 locations on a fixed plan price
- Teams that want an AI agent to do routine local marketing tasks

## Worth knowing

- Agent work, posts, review replies and listing updates spend credits; when they run out, agent work pauses until you buy more.
- The listed credits are quadrupled for launch; accounts opened by September 30 keep them, and the page does not say what later accounts get.
- White labeling needs Premium or above, and the free trial covers only the Solo plan.
- Above 50 locations the price is a contract quote from sales.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.4 out of 4**, graded Oct 23, 2026. Synup runs listings sync to 100+ publishers, reviews, social posts, local rank grids and AI answer checks through an AI agent, with every feature on every plan, from $39 a month for one location on yearly billing. The agent spends monthly credits and stops when they run out, and the next plan after one location is $239 a month.

- **Value for money: C.** Solo is $39 a month for one location on yearly billing, $49 monthly, between this category's middle ($31) and dearer quarter ($59). Every feature is included, but a second location moves you to Premium at $239 a month for up to 10.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** No free plan, but a 14-day trial of the Solo plan with $50 in AI credits. The trial doesn't cover the bigger plans or white labeling.
- **Features: B.** Listings sync to Google, Apple, Bing, Facebook and 100+ publishers and aggregators, review replies and requests, social posting, geogrid rank tracking, location pages and AI answer scores. It covers the whole job, with the agent's work metered in credits.
- **Ease of use: C.** No rating on record. You set approval rules, skills and playbooks for the agent and keep an eye on the credit balance, on top of connecting each location's profiles.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web only, with no desktop or phone app. It connects to Google Business Profile, Apple Business Connect, Bing Places, Facebook, Tripadvisor, Slack and HubSpot, with APIs and MCP.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Synup 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 is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.4 is higher than 43 of the 61 other local SEO tools we grade. It costs $468 a year.

- You could make: Review collection: an app builder makes this 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: Daily checks of where your pages rank in search results.
- You could not: The same prompts asked of ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI answers every day, and the answers kept.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Google Business Profile, Apple Business Connect and Bing Places among them, and has an API.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
