When BrightLocal is the better choice
If your agency is mostly local-SEO with citation building as a top deliverable, BrightLocal's directories + citation audit toolkit is purpose-built for that. Their audits are an add-on; ours are the core product.
When Branded Audits is the better choice
- You want a deliverable you can hand a prospect before the sales call to drive conversions.
- You don't have time to learn another all-in-one platform.
- Your agency is small enough that $39–$79/mo is hard to justify.
- White-label matters — your clients should never see anyone else's brand on the report.
- You'd rather spend on Facebook ads than on platform fees.
