There are no limits placed on the number of reports you can generate within LocalClarity, just like there are no limits on users, contacts, notices, downloads, reviews, or automations. We encourage you to keep all stakeholders connected to your critical KPIs.
Plans rates are determined by the net number of billable local listing locations times the monthly per-location rate. Billable locations represent the number of unique and active primary businesses. Department, inactive, suspended, or duplicate listings do not count towards the billable location total. Essentially, only those business locations driving customer engagement are counted.
Available in the Professional and Enterprise plans, you'll be able to see your competitors’ total reviews, average review rating, review distribution, response ratio - and even the raw review and response comments. Coming soon, users will also gain access to topic sentiment analysis and category comparisons.
LocalClarity connects to review sources in the most robust methodology allowed by the originating platform. Ideally, the platform provides an open 2-Way API that allows for full receipt of reviews and pushing of responses. Some platforms have no API infrastructure and responses need to be made directly and manually. You can still leverage AI Reponses and saved templates when replying externally. All reviews response to this way will be marked as replied externally overnight.
You can take advantage of four (4) distinct listing edit workflows to update your store hours and holidays (and other listing details). Choose between single store edits, one-edit-to-many location forms, bulk CSV uploads for changes, and finally our unique ‘live’ spreadsheet controls. Match your needs to the right workflow to ease the workload across the team.
You can access all historic and current reviews for 10 competitors for every 1 billable parent location, with multiple review sources per location. For example, a 50 active location account can track 500 competitors. If you connect 5 review destination sources (Google, Yelp, Facebook, etc.) you’re accessing 2500 source points monthly.
When you set up the competitor locations, you can assign them based on individual store codes, your internal groupings, or even competitor groups. Once set, you can filter the results to compare each of your stores to their local competitor set. In 2023, we are leveraging emerging AI tools to make it easier to find all competitors within a region or distance from your stores and setting up the organization.
LocalClarity does not currently aggregate general unstructured commentary of social media platforms. We do have current plans to incorporate the social media platforms that started to expand into "Local". In the coming months you should expect to see major announcements for integrations in 2023. With that will be new opportunities to index competitor reviews.
Yes, you can. Through our unique Competitor Quadrant Analysis of review volume vs average rating, you can compare relative performance at both the brand and location level. This chart is particularly adept at identifying both performance clusters and outliers.
A PlaceID is a textual identifier that uniquely identifies a place with the Google search and maps infrastructure. The length of the identifier may vary (Example: IhoSGAoUChIJ0U6OoscfqokR6P225pApu2UQDQ). We recommend utilizing Google’s PlaceID Finder to best identify a competitors PlaceID. Once found simply paste into the Add location section of the Competitor Module. Please wait up to one day for the information to be fully indexed into your profile.
After the initial fetch of all historic reviews, new competitor reviews details (location, date, reviewer, star rating, and comments) are indexed to your account from each connected source on a monthly basis.
You can access your competitors average star rating, review response rate, total number of reviews, and the content of their reviews and subsequent replies for any time range selected. Simply toggle between the Reporting and Review section of the Competitor section.

The number of locations is a somewhat complicated calculation, but is essentially the number of open and active distinct business locations with at least one customer review. You can connect multiple review sources and listing destinations to a single parent record, but this is still just one location. Departments within a location (e.g.,, the sales and service department of an auto dealership) are provide at no charge and do not add to the location total. Distinct businesses at the same address (for example, the Audi dealership and the Volkswagen dealership in one building) would be additional billable locations.
You should assign as additional categories all that are relevant to your major service or product offerings. The exception would be for businesses that cover a lot of unrelated categories. You want Google to understand the breadth of your consumer offering without confusing your message. Generally, we see most high-performing listings have at least 3-4 additional categories.
The available image categories are based on the primary category of the location (e.g., a food & drink option for restaurants) but the main categories of cover image, logo, exterior, and interior images are universal. Fortunately, LocalClarity supports all options for individual and bulk uploads. Talk to client success for details to optimize your visual presence across stores.

We understand that listing and review management often falls between typical corporate department structures. It impacts local store success, but is not controlled by Retail Operations. It involves customer feedback, but is not managed by Customer Service. It benefits from local posts and customer engagement, but is not driven by the Marketing or Social teams.
