Overview

What it does.

Localo is a local marketing tool centred on Google Business Profile. It audits a profile, gives weekly tasks to improve it, tracks local map rankings by keyword on a grid of points around the business, monitors competitors, generates and schedules Google posts with AI, drafts review replies, and builds a simple website from the profile. The Localo AI Agent can run optimisations such as posting and review responses automatically. Local shops, restaurants, clinics, and service businesses use it, as do freelancers and agencies that manage profiles for clients. A single-location business can connect its profile, complete the audit checklist, and see map ranking changes within weeks. It integrates with Google Business Profile, Google Search Console, and Facebook, and supports white-label reports for agencies. It covers Google only, so Yelp, Apple Maps, and directory listings need another tool, and the Single Business plan supports one profile.
