BrightLocal

BrightLocal is a local SEO platform for agencies, consultants and multi-location businesses. It tracks local search visibility down to neighbourhood level, audits and manages business listings and citations, monitors and collects reviews, and reports how a business appears across ChatGPT and Google's AI results.

There are three ways to buy. Self-serve platform access covers rank tracking, geo-grid ranking maps, citation monitoring, Google Business Profile audits, listings sync and review management. A pay-as-you-go service builds and cleans up citations manually. Fully managed local SEO campaigns are run by BrightLocal's own team with a discovery call, an audit of the website, Google Business Profile, citations and competitors, a rolling 90-day action plan, a dedicated account manager and monthly reporting. A developer API exposes rankings, reviews, listings and citation data as REST endpoints with JSON responses.

BrightLocal has operated since 2009 and is headquartered in Brighton, UK, with teams in Ukraine, Poland and the Philippines. It reports 300+ dedicated staff and 15,000+ platform customers, and advertises 99.9% uptime on its API. A self-storage operator is among the customer stories published on its site.

Platform pricing scales with the number of locations managed and the tier chosen, and managed services and citation building are priced separately, so price a plan against your real location count rather than the headline rate.
