Everything you need to rank locally
🗺️ Rank Tracker Heatmap
"I thought I ranked well on Google. The heatmap showed I was #1 outside my door and #18 two miles away — losing customers every day without knowing it."
-
A geo-grid divides your city into a matrix of points. At each point, LocalEdge checks your real Google Maps ranking for that exact location — giving you a precise map of where you're visible and where you're invisible.
-
Up to 5 keywords in the same scan, each with its own position halo. The halo visualizes your ranking influence zone around your location for that keyword — showing exactly how far your Google Maps visibility extends. This is a LocalEdge by Avision exclusive: no other tool in the world offers keyword halos.
-
Set a scan frequency (daily, weekly, monthly) and LocalEdge automatically runs the scan for you. You'll always have fresh data without lifting a finger.
-
Every scan is saved permanently. Compare any two scans side by side — toggle between dates to see exactly which zones improved after your optimizations. Full-screen mode available for deep analysis. You can also overlay multiple scans to track your territorial progression over time.
-
Your territory is divided into 4 cardinal zones (North, South, East, West). AVI identifies which zones are weak and gives you geo-targeted post suggestions to conquer them.
-
On every heatmap, LocalEdge overlays your competitors' territory in real time. Each zone is color-coded: 🔴 Danger — a competitor dominates the top 3 here, you're losing customers right now. 🟠 Threat — they're gaining ground, act before they overtake you. 🟢 Repelled — you dominate this zone, maintain your activity to protect it. For each status, LocalEdge gives you specific counter-actions: which posts to publish, which keywords to target, which profile fields to optimize. It's not just data — it's a battle plan.
🛡️ Guardian Monitoring ⚡ Premium add-on
"A customer told me my business showed as permanently closed on Google. I never changed that. Guardian would have caught it in hours — not 11 days later."
-
Every hour, LocalEdge connects to Google's official API and compares your current GBP data with what was there before. If anything changed — even by one character — you get an alert.
-
Guardian monitors: business name, address, phone, website, main category, additional categories, opening hours, special hours, business description, open/close status, cover photo, logo, attributes, service area, and more.
-
The alert shows you the exact field that changed, the old value and the new value — side by side. A 'Fix Now' button lets you restore the correct information in one click.
-
Guardian detects when a competitor overtakes you in a geographic zone and alerts you immediately — so you can counter before it impacts your visibility.
-
With one click, LocalEdge sends the correct value back to Google via the official API. No need to open Google Business Profile — it's done in seconds.
📊 GBP Score & AVI Coach
"My competitor ranked higher with half my reviews. The Score showed exactly why — a missing category and no recent posts. Fixed in one week. I overtook them."
-
Your score is calculated from 40+ criteria grouped into 4 categories: NAP & Info, Online Presence, Activity, and Visibility. Each criterion is weighted by its real impact on your Google Maps ranking.
-
The Score Optimizer analyzes your profile and lists every missing criterion with its exact point value. You see immediately: 'Adding a website would give you +5 points and move you from 61 to 66/100'.
-
A plumber is not scored like a restaurant. LocalEdge adapts the scoring criteria to your business type — so your score reflects what actually matters for your category on Google Maps.
-
Every Monday, AVI analyzes your profile and sends you your top 3 priority actions for the week — ranked by impact. Not generic advice: actions tailored to your exact situation.
-
Pulse is your weekly dashboard: score evolution, average ranking, calls, website clicks, posts published, photos added. Everything in one view — with your opportunity zones and competitor alerts.
-
Every Monday morning, you receive an email with your score, your ranking and your top action of the week. Pro subscribers get their full Top 3 AVI actions — free subscribers get 1 tip + an upgrade suggestion.
✍️ Posts, Photos & Editorial Calendar
"I used to skip posting for weeks because I had nothing to write. With AVI, I get an optimized draft in seconds — I adjust and publish. My profile stayed active and my ranking improved."
-
AVI knows your city, your business category and your language. It generates a Google Post that sounds like you wrote it — not a generic AI text. You review, adjust, publish.
-
Updates keep your profile active. Offers drive immediate traffic. Events build local community. Each type has its own Google display format — LocalEdge handles the formatting automatically.
-
Drag any scheduled post to a new date. See your entire month at a glance. Never miss a publishing slot again.
-
Set a topic and a frequency. AVI generates a different version for each date — no duplicate content. Your profile stays active without you having to think about it every week.
-
Upload photos directly from your device. Organize by category (exterior, interior, team, products). Rename files for SEO. Publish immediately or schedule for later.
-
Schedule a series of photos to publish automatically over the coming weeks. Google rewards profiles that add fresh photos regularly — this feature does it for you.
⭐ Reviews & Reputation
"I used to ignore negative reviews because I didn't know what to say. AVI writes a professional reply adapted to the tone in seconds — I just validate."
-
All your Google reviews appear in one list — filterable by rating, date, replied/not replied. You never miss a review again.
-
Click 'AVI Write' on any review. AVI reads the review content and generates a professional reply adapted to the tone (positive, neutral, negative) and your language. You validate before publishing.
-
LocalEdge highlights reviews you haven't replied to yet — sorted by date. Replying within 24h is one of the signals Google uses to evaluate your profile quality.
-
The more reviews you have and the faster you reply, the higher your review velocity score — which directly impacts your position in Google Maps results.
-
Google automatically removes reviews that violate its policies. Most businesses lose that data forever. LocalEdge by Avision stores every review permanently — reviewer name, rating, date, content, and Google review ID. If Google removes a review, you still have everything: the exact text, the reviewer's full name, the date, and the unique identifiers Google requires to contest a removal. When you contact Google support to dispute a suspicious deletion, LocalEdge gives you the complete file — ready to send. No other tool in the world does this.

Built on Google official infrastructure — not scrapers or workarounds
"I am scared to connect a third-party tool to my Google account. What if it gets suspended?"
Legitimate concern. Most GBP tools scrape Google Maps or use workarounds that violate Google Terms of Service. Your account can get flagged — or worse, suspended.
LocalEdge is different. We are one of fewer than 500 tools worldwide with official Google Business Profile API certification (approved May 2026). Your Google account is never at risk.
Certified May 2026 — one of fewer than 500 globally
LocalEdge never stores your Google password
100% compliant with Google Terms of Service
