LocalClarity 2.0 introduces a broad platform navigation update designed to make the application easier to understand, faster to move through, and better organized around how teams actually work.
As part of this release, several common tools and workflows have moved to more logical locations. We wanted to highlight these changes so teams can quickly find familiar tools in their new locations and take advantage of the cleaner structure. Together, these updates create a more consistent foundation for moving between analysis, action, configuration, and reporting across LocalClarity.
As LocalClarity has expanded, the platform has grown well beyond its original navigation structure. New modules, datasets, reporting tools, AI capabilities, listing controls, and administrative options were added over time, but they did not always fit naturally into the areas where users expected to find them.
The goal of LocalClarity 2.0 is not simply to move menu items around. It is to establish a navigation model that reflects the way work happens inside the platform.
The new structure creates a clearer distinction between three different types of controls:
This update gives LocalClarity a more intuitive and scalable foundation for the capabilities available today and the new workflows coming next.
A More Focused Left Navigation
The left side of the platform is now dedicated to primary navigation. LocalClarity’s capabilities have been organized into six core modules, creating a clearer structure for moving between reputation management, listing management, performance analysis, competitive intelligence, reporting, and other major areas of the platform.
This reduces the number of unrelated destinations competing for attention and makes it easier for users to understand where a particular task belongs. Related workflows are grouped together so teams can move from overview to analysis and action without repeatedly searching across the application.
Filters Have Moved to the Right
Filters have moved from the left side of the page into the new right-side control area. This gives the left navigation more room to serve its primary purpose while keeping filtering available directly beside the charts, tables, reviews, listings, and other information users are actively examining.
The change creates a cleaner separation between where users go and how they refine what they see. The right side of the interface also establishes a consistent location for page-level controls across modules. As LocalClarity 2.0 continues to develop, this area will support additional tools such as saved views, AI assistance, alerts, and workflow-specific actions without adding more complexity to the primary navigation.
Profile Shortcuts & Custom Links
Custom links that were previously assigned to either the top or left navigation have been consolidated into a dedicated shortcuts area beneath the core modules. Teams that rely on quick access to frequently used LocalClarity tools, external resources, internal documentation, or other destinations can now find those links alongside the broader platform navigation.
Existing controls for shortcut visibility and ordering remain available, allowing each Profile to create a navigation experience that reflects how its team actually works. This also creates a more approachable experience for new users while allowing experienced users to keep high-frequency workflows close at hand.
RealityCheck™ Controls are Now More Visible
The controls used to activate and manage RealityCheck™ are now surfaced directly within the Local Listings experience. RealityCheck™ continuously compares public listing information against the official information maintained by your organization. Making these controls more visible gives teams greater transparency into how listing data is monitored, compared, and validated against public source information.
It also brings the configuration closer to the results. Teams can move more naturally from reviewing listing records to identifying discrepancies, understanding when changes were first detected, and determining whether public information should be accepted, rejected, or corrected. RealityCheck™ is no longer treated as a background administrative setting. It is presented as an active part of the listing-governance workflow.
A More Connected Local Listing Module
Listing-related tools have been brought together within a dedicated Local Listings module. Location records, source data, RealityCheck™, listing performance, media, audit logs, edit history, source mapping, and spreadsheet management now sit within a more connected structure.
Previously, users could encounter these tools in separate parts of the platform even though they were often used as part of the same operating process. The new structure makes it easier to move from reviewing official location data to comparing public information, investigating changes, publishing updates, and confirming results. For teams managing hundreds or thousands of locations, this reduces searching and creates a clearer workflow from source of truth to public accuracy.
Reporting Has Moved Out of Settings
Access to create, schedule, and update reports has moved out of Settings and into the primary left navigation. Reports are a recurring operating workflow for many LocalClarity teams, not simply an account setup task. Users regularly create reports, update recipients, adjust schedules, review report configurations, and determine how information should be distributed across their organizations.
Giving Reporting a dedicated place in the main navigation makes scheduled reports, report management, and related workflows easier to find and reinforces reporting as a central part of the platform. This change also creates a clearer distinction between using information and configuring the account.
Module Specific Settings are Now Closer to the Work
Options used to customize individual modules have moved out of the general Settings area and into the modules they control. Instead of concentrating feature-specific configuration in a separate administrative section, LocalClarity 2.0 places those controls closer to the workflows they support.
Review preferences now live with review-management workflows. Listing controls appear within Local Listings. Filter behavior can be managed in the context of the modules where those filters are used. Other feature-specific preferences follow the same principle. This makes settings easier to discover and gives users more context when making changes. Rather than remembering that a particular option exists somewhere in Settings, users can configure a workflow while actively working within it.
A Consistent Right-Side Command Area
The new right-side navigation is designed to become a consistent command surface across LocalClarity. Depending on the module and the user’s permissions, this area can bring together filters, saved views, shortcuts, AI tools, chat-based assistance, notifications, and other actions related to the current page.
The objective is not to fill the right side with more controls. It is to create one predictable location for the tools that help users refine information, receive guidance, and take action without leaving their current workflow. Presentation, ordering, and availability can be adjusted by module, allowing the experience to remain focused even as additional capabilities are introduced.
The Result
Together, these changes create a simpler and more consistent platform structure. Navigation is more focused. Related tools are grouped together. Filters and page controls no longer compete with primary navigation. Reporting is easier to access. Configuration is closer to the work it affects. RealityCheck™ and other operational controls are more visible. High-frequency destinations remain close at hand without overwhelming every user with the same interface.
Expect another round of updated in late-July that further empower users to customize their experiences.
