📍 Local Search Grid – New Feature Release

We're excited to introduce the Local Search Grid — a powerful new tool inside your EMR dashboard designed to help you deliver even more value to your clients.

This update is built specifically for agencies that manage local SEO and reputation for multiple clients.

🎯 What’s New

✅ Local Search Grid

A visual SEO map that shows exactly where your client ranks in different parts of their service area — using real GPS pinpoints.

Use it to:

  • Show clients where they’re winning — and where they’re not

  • Measure improvements in local visibility over time

  • Scan anywhere: city blocks, suburbs, or towns

💡 Key Features for Agencies

  • 📌 Custom pin grid sizes (3×3, 5×5, and more)

  • 📍 Location-based ranking on Google Maps

  • 🛠 Full support for Service Area Businesses (plumbers, locksmiths, etc.)

  • 🔁 Recurring scans (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly)

  • 🔗 White-label links you can share with clients

  • 🖼 Exportable map images for reports and pitch decks

  • 📈 Competitor tracking — see who ranks above or below your client

  • ♾ Unlimited scans included in all plans

🌐 Choose Your Scan Engine

🔵 Option 1: Google API (Best for Beginners)

  • Uses your Google Cloud API key

  • Google gives you $200/month free in credits

  • Covers around 600–700 scans per month

  • Great for most agencies getting started

🟠 Option 2: DataForSEO API (Best for Scale)

  • Built for high volume scanning

  • Works perfectly for SABs that hide their addresses

  • Costs around 50× less per scan than Google

  • Ideal for agencies with multiple locations or recurring scans

✅ You can switch between providers any time inside your settings.

🛠 Setup Made Simple

We’ve created full setup guides — step-by-step — for both Google and DataForSEO:

Includes screenshots, links, and estimated scan coverage per provider.

🧠 Why Clients Will Love This

  • Makes local SEO results easy to understand

  • Visually shows where they’re winning vs losing

  • Lets them compare with local competitors

  • Reinforces the ROI of your service in a way they can see

📌 Final Notes

  • You’ll still need a Google API key even if you use DataForSEO — for location search, autocomplete, and map previews inside the dashboard.

  • The $200/month Google credit usually covers this usage too.
