Good foundation, but not ready for practical use yet

The tool has a very clean and modern interface, and overall it seems to have a lot of potential. That said, there are a few limitations that currently make it difficult for me to use effectively.

One issue I encountered is that the quick scan doesn't detect some profiles — even though they are relatively new, they already rank well and even appear in competitor scans. Unfortunately, there’s no option to manually add these profiles via a Google Maps URL, which is something many other tools offer and is quite important for flexibility.

Another limitation is the way ongoing tracking works. It's only possible if all Google profiles are connected, which adds quite a bit of complexity. Other tools are more flexible in this regard. Having to connect each individual account just to keep an eye on the ranking grid is a bit too inconvenient for my workflow.

Also worth mentioning is the ranking grid itself. The marketing screenshots suggest a wide and detailed grid view — but in practice, it’s fairly limited. While it is possible to create a custom grid, even large areas are limited to just 13 data points. These are fixed and can’t be deactivated or customized individually. In our case, for example, a large river runs through the service area, meaning that half the grid points are located in the water and therefore completely irrelevant.

In summary, the tool looks great and clearly has a lot of promise. But as of now, it doesn’t quite meet my practical requirements. I’ll definitely keep an eye on future updates, though — there’s a solid foundation here.

Hi Kevin,

Thanks so much for your thoughtful and detailed review — feedback like yours is incredibly valuable to us! 🙏

You're absolutely right on several points. When it comes to newly created profiles, since we're directly integrated with Google, we're dependent on their systems and data availability. Unfortunately, if Google is not returning certain profiles via their API, we can't bypass...

Great replacement to other rank trackers

The platform’s local keyword tracking, AI-generated review replies, content scheduling, and white-label reporting have seriously streamlined my SEO workflow. Plus, features like 24/7 listing protection and multi-location management make this a powerhouse tool for anyone managing local SEO. Total no-brainer.

Perfect solution for agencies !

As an agency, we manage more than 150 Google Business Profiles. Before Local Rank Tracker you had 2 options : 1) you pay 300$ / month for a similar solution or 2) you manage everything manually and you spend hours and hours.

Local Rank Tracker's features are not yet aligned with the other solutions in the market but I'm sure they'll get there. As many people/companies on AppSumo, we invest in the future. Investing in Local Rank Tracker (we bought tier 5) is a sensible thing to do as you get a lifetime license for the fraction of the cost what we used to pay yearly for another solution.

Does Local Rank Tracker is without flaws ? No, but support has been reactive and all the issues we encountered got solved within hours/days.

Keep up the good work, Local Rank Tracker....

Great GBP Management Tool

I’ve been using Local Rank Tracker from Rating Captain for a while now, and I’m genuinely impressed with how it’s elevated my Google Business Profile management. As someone who values efficiency and results, this tool has been a game-changer for boosting my local SEO without the usual hassle. The user experience is fantastic—intuitive, clean, and easy to navigate.

The keyword tracking feature gives me insights into how my business is performing locally. Unfortunately sometimes it shows irrelevant Profiles that are far away from my location and often from completely other countries.

This could be because Rating Captain doesn’t have enough data from my country in Switzerland. I hope the Team can fix this in the future.

I love the automated review response generator—it saves me so much time while still letting me connect with customers in a way that feels personal and authentic.

Keep up the good work!

Not bad, if it fits your needs

As a rank tracker, it's okay, but I was hoping for more features than simply rank tracking, and the GBP management tools aren't super relevant to me. I guess what I was hoping for was something similar to BrightLocal, but it's not there yet. I had a small bug, but support was good and resolved it quickly.

If all you need is a rank tracker, it's a good LTD option instead of monthly fees. Same thing if you need a GBP management tool, otherwise, for doing Local SEO, it's only rank tracker that's relevant, so in its current state, it's a bit limited in functionality.
