Getting started
Accounts, pricing, and which free tool to open first.
Are these local SEO tools really free?
Yes. Open any tool on /free-tools without a paid plan. Paid features start when you need geo-grids, automation, or multi-location reporting.
Do I need to create an account?
No for core free utilities. Login is only required for the full GBP Local Ranker product suite.
Which tool should I try first?
Review link → Google ID & Review Link. Website markup → Schema. NAP citations → Create Citation. Ranking process → Local Rank Checker Guide. Profile gaps → Strength or Audit Calculator.
What is Create Citation?
A free NAP generator that creates consistent Name, Address, Phone citation text for directories and CSV trackers — without auto-submitting spam listings.
Local Rank Checker
How Google Maps rankings work and how to track them weekly.
What does the Local Rank Checker Guide cover?
Map pack fundamentals, ranking factor tables, a weekly tracking template, competitor logging, and when automated geo-grids beat manual checks.
Can I still check local business rankings in Google?
Yes — follow the free guide’s Maps workflow for keyword + location checks, or use GBP Local Ranker for automated grid scans across neighborhoods.
Is this the same as a paid Places API rank tool?
No. The free page is an educational Local Rank Checker Guide so you are not billed for Places API on every visitor. Product grids live under Local Rank Tracker.
How often should I track map pack rankings?
Weekly is a solid default for most businesses. Log the same keywords from a consistent area and act on two-week drops.
Schema, reviews & links
Structured data, Place IDs, posters, and reply quality.
What is LocalBusiness schema used for?
JSON-LD helps search engines understand NAP, hours, and services so your website supports local entity clarity and rich-result eligibility.
How do I create consistent NAP citations?
Use Create Citation to generate matching Name, Address, and Phone blocks, then paste the same strings into directories and keep them aligned with your Google Business Profile.
Why generate a Google review link?
A Place ID review URL sends customers straight to write-a-review — higher completion than “search us on Google.”
Can I print a QR poster for reviews?
Yes. The Review Poster Generator builds a scannable QR that opens your Google write-a-review link for counters and packaging.
Are review replies automated on the free tool?
The free Review Response Generator drafts replies you can edit and post. Full inbox automation is part of the paid platform.
Audits & suspension protection
Completeness scores, section audits, and policy risk.
What does the Profile Strength Calculator score?
Completeness from 0–100 across common GBP best-practice fields so you know what to fix next.
What is in the GBP Audit Calculator?
A section-by-section pass across profile info, reviews, photos, posts, and SEO signals with a prioritized fix list.
How is Suspension Risk different from Suspension Audit?
Risk estimates likelihood from common violation signals. The audit walks a deeper compliance checklist with actionable fixes.
Can these tools prevent suspension by themselves?
They help you spot risky patterns early. Final outcomes still depend on accurate ownership, policy-safe content, and Google’s review process.
