Is there a good local competitive analysis tool for the UK

[catherine-279388]

Hello Mozers

I have learnt from the forum about the competitive analysis tool http://www.51blocks.com/online-marketing-tools/free-local-analysis/ and followed the link - only to find that it is for the US.  I'm in the UK and need to access this for google.uk - does anyone know of a UK equivalent?

Could I also check with the forum to ask the question that got me into this in the first place.  It's probably a daft question.  For the Ranking report in Moz, do I just need to put the local city name in front of the keyword to get the local rank.  I have been doing this and assuming it's ok, and my local ranking does show up.

Thanks

Catherine

Hi Catherine,

If you are located in the UK, you might want to check out Bright Local. They are, I believe, located in the UK as well and have a large suite of tools. I have not used them, personally, but have heard good things about them.

I will CC our help staff on your technical question. I am sure you will receive a reply.

Hi there!

Great to hear that you are focusing a bit on the local side for your rankings.  In order to point our tools to get local rankings you would just have to use this format:

"Keyword + geotag"

An example would be if you want Pizza in New York, you would just do Pizza New York or Pizza in NYC.  Once you done that our tool will take that query and come back with organic SERPs for your results, please keep in mind that our tools doesn't assign numeric rankings to Google 7 pack SERPs, rather they use a feature called Universal Placement.  For more information, you can find our help hub topic about this here: moz.com/help/pro/rankings

Hope that helps, if you have any questions about our product, please let us know and we'll jump on it ASAP!

Best,

Peter
Moz Help Team.
