BrightLocal ranks first because it covers the full local SEO workflow with clear per-location pricing. The Track plan, $41 a month for one location or $31 billed annually, includes a Local Rank Tracker for 100 keywords and four competitors, geo-grid maps for five keywords, citation accuracy monitoring, a Google Business Profile audit, a full local search audit and the Local AI Visibility Tracker for ChatGPT and Google's AIs. Manage, at $54 a month, adds Active Sync to keep business data synced on key sites and a GBP post scheduler. Grow, at $65, adds review monitoring, review requests by email, SMS and in-store campaigns, and a review widget for your site. Citation building is pay as you go, starting at $3.20 per site or $2 with bulk credits, and the citations stay yours. The pricing table lists every band up to 100 locations, which makes agency quotes easy. The trade-off is that listings and review tools sit on higher tiers.
