What is the best SEO tool for tracking local rankings

[coolhandluc]

Hi

Can anyone recommend what they think the best tool is to track local rankings. I want to manage several small businesses' visibility and I am not sure which one is the best. I have been told that "Bright local" and "SEO PowerSuite" are the best in the business. Is that true? or is there something better out there

Thanks

We use SEO PowerSuites Rank Tracker program and have been for some time.

They list local listing positions in brackets and display a little map icon next to the number so its easy to distinguish which of your keywords are ranking in local positions.

They have also added a new feature recently which allows you to change the location of which you are searching in (like you use to be able to do in Google before they removed it) so you can check the results depending on the location of the searches.

I have never used any other program so I don't have anything to compare it to but it does what we need it to do so don't feel the need to change!

Hope that helps

I've only ever used Moz Pro to track local rankings against local competitors, etc. I have nothing bad to say about it. I get everything I need. But then again, I've never used anything else.

What do other tools have for local rank tracking that Moz doesn't offer? (Genuine question. I'm curious what I may be missing out on.)

If you want to track your rankings rather than doing competitor analysis, according to me SEMRush is the best.

Cause you can track keyword ranking on local based (city level), national based and global based as well. It's really essential after the pigeon update.
