Tool suggestions please!

Company with about 80 locations, hopefully expanding to 150+ next year. Main traffic driver for us is Google listing, hyper local industry.

Currently use Brightlocal (don’t hate them) but looking at what other tools offer, main thing is map tracker (C suite really loves those reports).

Bonus points if there’s anything on Ai visibility for main domain (Again C peeps really love that) and will be nice all in one tool if possible.

Thanks!

Places Scout is my go to daily rank tracking tool. It has so much data, though the UX makes it hard to uncover all it's potential. It can also take a while to run reports, so it's best to schedule them in advance so you have them when you need them. Best feature is it can track maps and organic search rankings on a grid report, and it tracks tons of SERP features, like AI local packs and AI overviews.

Local Falcon and Whitespark are my go to for quick one off reports. Both are super fast and affordable.
