BrightLocal
Local rank tracking, citations, and reviews for storefronts
BrightLocal tracks where you rank in Maps by neighborhood, audits your listings across directories, and monitors reviews. It is local SEO specifically, at a price a single-location business can justify.
Cost at your size
BrightLocal costs $31 a month for one seat.
BrightLocal costs $1 more than the median SEO & local search tool for one seat ($30).
BrightLocal pays for itself if it saves 1 hour a month at $30 an hour, our assumption.
