SEO & local search software for retail shops
A shop needs to show up when nearby people search for what it sells, which means rankings, citations and reviews. BrightLocal is built for local search from $31/mo with unlimited users. It is not for e-commerce SEO and citation building costs extra; Whitespark offers cheap local rank tracking from $14/mo.
