Frequently Asked Questions

How do Local Search Grid credits work?

Each subscription plan that includes Local Search Grid is allocated credits which renew every month:

  • Single Business: 250 Local Search Grid credits
  • Multi-Business: 1,000 Local Search Grid credits
  • SEO Pro: 2,000 Local Search Grid credits

1 credit is used per Grid Point each time the report runs. So a 5x5 Grid would use 25 credits. 7x7 would use 49 credits.

If you were using a 7x7 Grid to track 10 keywords, and you set your reports to run monthly, you’d use 490 of your credit allowance each month. Unused credits do not carry over to the next month.

If you need more credits, you can increase your monthly credit allowance by purchasing an Addon, which can be removed at any time.

How does Local Search Grid fit within the BrightLocal platform?

Local Search Grid sits alongside all of the BrightLocal tools which help you track, understand, and improve local SEO performance for each location you’re managing.

Local Search Grid is included in all plans except ‘Just Reviews’ and you’ll get the following credits allocated to you each month:

  • Single Business: 250 Local Search Grid credits
  • Multi-Business: 1,000 Local Search Grid credits
  • SEO Pro: 2,000 Local Search Grid credits
Will I still need a regular rank checker?

Yes, definitely!

Local Search Grid allows you to track up to five keywords — so you’ll want to pick the most valuable keywords that you want extra insights on.

However, tracking a larger set of keywords with a regular rank checker is still going to be extremely important for monitoring and reporting performance, and spotting opportunities and issues. Fortunately, you’ll have BrightLocal’s Local Search Rank Checker at your disposal to do just that.
