Whitespark takes second place for agencies that treat citations and rank data as the core of local SEO. The company states plainly that it does not bundle: Local Ranking Grids starts at $10 a month and maps rankings across up to 225 points, with data on up to 100 competitors per grid point. Local Rank Tracker runs from $14 to $200 a month, with the $14 small business tier covering 100 location keywords billed annually, and a 14-day trial. Local Citation Finder, $33 to $149 a month, finds citation opportunities and monitors existing ones, and Local Platform manages Google Business Profiles in bulk for $1 per location a month. When you would rather hand off the work, the Listings Service builds and cleans up citations for one-time fees from $20 to $999, and a Yext Replacement Service costs $399 per location once. The catch is that a full stack means several subscriptions, and review management at $79 per location is pricey.
