AlmaSEO
All-Layer Marketing Associate
Local SEO
A local SEO platform that runs the whole loop: Google Business Profile management across every location, city-level rankings, a 40-directory citation audit and a content plan built from your own ranking data — in one place, on every plan. No tier unlocks anything on this page.
Run a citation scan anywhere else and you get a wall of red. Forty directories, thirty of them marked missing, and no way to tell which ones the scanner actually checked and which ones it simply couldn’t see. So you buy the fix, or you spend an afternoon manually confirming listings that were fine the whole time.
The rank tracker is its own island. The review dashboard is another. The content plan is a spreadsheet you keep by hand, because nothing that knows your rankings also knows what you’ve published.
AlmaSEO runs local as one loop. Connect the profile and the locations import themselves. Check rankings for a city and that data immediately drives three other things — what to fix first, what’s slipping, and what to write next. Scan citations and the unresolved rows hand off to an agent that can go fix them. Every tool here runs on every plan — two of them spend Data Credits, and both show you the price before you spend it.
For the local business owner
Someone told you your listings are inconsistent. You have no idea which ones, or whether it matters. You want a straight answer about whether people searching in your city can find you, and a short list of what to fix — not a subscription to a directory service.
For the multi-location agency
Every location is its own profile, its own NAP, its own set of city keywords, its own citation footprint. Doing that by hand is the job nobody wants, and it’s the one that quietly loses accounts when a phone number goes stale in three directories.
Each one feeds the next. Connect a profile at the top and by the bottom you have a list of articles to write, with the keyword already loaded.
Connect once. The locations come with it.
Sign in with Google and AlmaSEO reads the profile directly — rating, review distribution, recent reviews with any reply you already wrote, the searches people used to find you, and how your photos are performing.
Connecting the profile pulls your locations in. Re-syncing never duplicates them — each one stays bound to its own profile listing.
A reply box sits under each recent review, and what you write posts straight to Google. Where you’ve already answered, the button says edit and the box comes pre-filled with what you said. The words are yours — nothing drafts or suggests a reply for you, which is the right call for the one piece of client-facing writing a stranger will read next to a one-star rating.
If Google won’t return individual reviews, AlmaSEO says so and falls back to the rating and count. It doesn’t pad the panel with nothing.

Where multi-location actually gets handled.
A plumber with no storefront isn’t an address with the street removed. Mark a location as service-area and record the areas it actually covers.
“Suite 200” and “Ste 200” are the same address. Record the variants you accept, so the citation audit stops flagging a match as a mismatch.
Drop in a CSV, skip duplicates, set the first row as primary. Ninety locations is a paste, not an afternoon.

The one screen that tells you what to do next.
Not a score. Four things to do, ranked, each with a button that opens the exact tool that fixes it.
Keywords sitting on page two with real search volume behind them — the ones a single article can push onto page one. It names the best one and the volume it carries.
Anything that dropped three or more positions since the last check, surfaced before it becomes a phone call.

How you rank in the city, not in the country.
The keywords your domain ranks for in that specific city, deduplicated to your best position for each, sorted by the traffic actually at stake.
Every check is saved. Watch top-three, page-one and estimated traffic move across thirty checks.
A move of five positions or more pushes a Slack message on its own. You find out because AlmaSEO told you, not because the client did.
Data Credits 100 Data Credits per location check — the cost is shown on the button before you spend it, and results are cached for six hours so a second look is free.

A 40-directory audit that would rather say nothing than guess.
Forty directories across six categories — search and maps, major local directories, social profiles, review sites, industry and trade, data aggregators. Generate it, work it by hand, pay nothing.
The scan doesn’t eyeball it. Name, phone, city, state and street are each compared on their own — phone down to the last ten digits, name with a fuzzy fallback — and the verdict is the share of fields that actually matched.
Whatever you marked or wrote by hand stays exactly as you left it. AlmaSEO updates what it found and never overwrites what you know.
Data Credits 300 Data Credits per scan — shown on the badge and confirmed before it runs, and the wallet is only charged if the scan actually came back with results.

Your ranking data, turned into a list of articles to write.
Every keyword you rank for lands in Strengthen, Write New, or Covered — matched against what you’ve actually published.
Click it and the article composer opens with that keyword already loaded. The gap becomes a draft in one click.
The percentage of your ranking keywords that have an article behind them, per location. The number that tells you which city you’ve been neglecting.
Most local businesses have a YouTube channel nobody has touched since it was set up. Video SEO scores those videos and turns one into an article brief — coverage you can add without asking the client to write anything.

Every citation tool can produce a wall of red X’s. Almost none of them can tell you which of those X’s it actually verified. Three rules are built into AlmaSEO’s scan:
Citations here are directory listings, not the AI citations an answer engine hands out — different job, different page.
Absence of evidence isn’t evidence of absence. If the scan didn’t find your listing on a directory, that means the scan didn’t find it — not that it isn’t there. Marking that row “missing” would be AlmaSEO inventing a fact, and inventing facts is how you end up paying to fix listings that already existed.
Your Google Business Profile doesn’t show up in organic results, so a scan structurally can’t confirm it. Leaving the single most important row at “Unknown” reads like I’m not on Google. So AlmaSEO answers that row from your actual profile connection instead.
Map listings and data aggregators don’t appear in search results, so a scan structurally can’t confirm them — not AlmaSEO’s, and not anyone else’s. Rather than report them as unknown, AlmaSEO labels those rows Check by hand right in the interface, so you know exactly where the automation stops and you begin.
The audit ends in a report you can hand to a client — a health score that starts at a hundred and comes down for every listing that’s missing, duplicated, or out of date. And any row you can’t fix from a directory login hands off to the AI Agent Workspace with the fix already written out.
Local businesses are on everything — a WordPress site from 2019, a Squarespace page a nephew built, a Wix template, a single hand-written HTML file that’s been up for a decade. None of that changes anything here. AlmaSEO reads your sitemap or scrapes your HTML, so it never needs a CMS to plug into.
The one thing that does change: if you are on WordPress, the Write button in Local Content publishes straight through, and you never open the admin. If you’re not, you get the same finished article to paste wherever it goes. The plan is identical either way.
Forty directories across six categories — search and maps, major local directories, social profiles, review sites, industry and trade, and data aggregators. The checklist itself is free to generate and work through by hand. The scan doesn’t eyeball a match: name, phone, city, state and street are each compared on their own, with the phone matched down to the last ten digits and the name given a fuzzy fallback, so a real mismatch is separated from a formatting difference.
No, and the word does double duty. A local citation is your business listed in a directory — the same name, address and phone repeated consistently across dozens of them. An AI citation is an answer engine naming your page as its source. Both are worth having, but they are different jobs; AI search optimization covers the second kind.
Yes. A plumber with no shopfront isn’t an address with the street removed, so you mark the location as service-area and record the areas it actually covers. You can also record acceptable address variants — “Suite 200” and “Ste 200” are the same address — so the citation audit stops reporting a match as a mismatch.
Yes. Connecting your Google Business Profile pulls your locations in, and re-syncing never duplicates them because each one stays bound to its own profile listing. For a larger book you can bulk import from a CSV, skipping duplicates and setting the first row as primary — ninety locations is a paste rather than an afternoon.
Sign in with Google and AlmaSEO reads the profile directly — the rating, the review distribution, recent reviews including any reply you already wrote, and the searches people used to find you. When Google won’t return individual reviews, AlmaSEO says so and falls back to the rating and count rather than padding the panel out with nothing.
Yes, to the recent ones the panel shows. Each carries a reply box, and what you write is posted to Google as the owner response; if you’ve already replied, the button offers to edit it and the box arrives holding your existing words. For an agency this is the difference between a review being noticed and a review being answered — you’re already in the client’s profile looking at the rating, so the reply happens there rather than becoming a message to the client asking them to log in and do it. AlmaSEO won’t write the reply for you. That’s deliberate: a generated apology under a one-star review is worse than silence, and this is the one place a client’s voice has to be their own.
It reports the keywords your domain ranks for in that specific city, deduplicated to your best position for each and sorted by the traffic actually at stake. Every check is saved, so you get a trend line across thirty checks for top-three placements, page-one placements and estimated traffic — not a single snapshot. Anything that has dropped three or more positions since the last check is surfaced on its own.
A move of five positions or more pushes a Slack message by itself, so you find out because AlmaSEO told you rather than because the client did.
The audit ends in a report with a health score that starts at a hundred and comes down for every listing that is missing, duplicated or out of date. Your own notes survive a rescan — AlmaSEO updates what it found and never overwrites what you wrote by hand. Any row you can’t fix from a directory login hands off to AI Agent Workspace with the fix already written out.
The citation report prints on your brand, ready to hand to the client. Open the Local Dashboard in the demo and follow it end to end — the next-action list, the city rankings behind it, the citation audit, and the article plan that falls out the other side.
