Local SEO & Listings

With the increase of the use of TikTok for business and GMB having a field for it, i want it in the business socials as well to be a field. Also, rename Twitter to X, this one is long due.

Why don't you add the most useful figure which is the average rank which has been reintroduced to the report without having to click on each keyword to see it. The point rank is not really that useful to demonstrate progress and if the business isn't ranking exactly where they are based in the top3 then they really have problems.

I often find that I have to explain to clients that Local SEO is NOT and SEO optimization service, but rather online listing management and TRACKING of keywords. With the name change of Listing Distribution to Citation Builder coming (applause for making that name more clear), I'd ask if a name change could be considered. I found the previous name of Listing Builder to be more descriptive of what the product does, but I'd be open to anything to help avoid confusion with SEO optimization services.

One of the most common problems I am seeing with the AI SEO Agent is it always gives recommendations and points out backlinks or broken URLS. it gets its data from backlink checkers but sometimes a lot of this isn't visible on google. Then I ask the agent to help me identify these and its help stops there. If we can someone gather this data more quickly and efficiently this would be nice. I personally spent a few hours looking (mostly because im learning as well) and I still have not fixed this issue for example my site apparently has 279 broken backlinks according to SEO agent but it has no way of showing me what those are so I need to go to (and I assume pay for) one of these services to find out what these links are and fix them, because on google everything is in the green and I see no problems.

Why is this tied to Reputation AI? This should be pulled into Local SEO as its SEO and Listing metrics. I have a customer that needs that data but they need to buy reputation AI just to get that? makes no sense at all.

We’ve recently identified that Foursquare listings are no longer functioning properly within the Listings Distribution network. After researching the issue, it appears that Foursquare has officially sunset its consumer-facing platform (Foursquare City Guide) and is shifting its business model toward enterprise data and location intelligence products. Because of this change, it seems that: The public business listing system is being discontinued, with limited or no ability to create or claim new listings. The API endpoints supporting listing synchronization may be deprecated or limited to legacy data feeds. The SEO value of Foursquare as a citation source is rapidly declining due to the loss of public visibility and backlinks. Given these developments, I recommend that Vendasta review and possibly deprecate Foursquare from the active Listings Distribution network to avoid inaccurate “Not Synced” messages or client confusion in dashboards and reports.

Please add a fields for links to Google Business Profile and Bing for businesses that have a listing but not a physical address so the Snapshot report is more accurate.

I would love to be able to run GBP Rank Grid reports live with a prospect when reviewing a Snapshot report, and also in the Local SEO Keyword Tracking section when reviewing reports/results with an actual client. I've used Local Viking before at another company and I am about to engage with them again until Vendasta has this feature: https://localviking.com/geogrid-visibility-tracking

Performance Issues: Lighthouse Score: Dropped by 15–20 points after implementing shortcodes. User Experience: The site feels significantly slower and sluggish (not just a numerical drop, but a noticeable delay in loading). Data Sync Bug (Business Hours): The plugin fails to display split opening hours correctly. Example: If a professional (e.g., a doctor) has hours split into two shifts, only the first part is pulled/displayed. The rest of the schedule is missing. Request: Could you please look into optimizing the shortcode scripts and fix the logic for split business hours? This is currently a blocker for live deployment.

This may just be me but I feel like Citation builder, Local SEO, and Listing sync is really an all or nothing package. They all work really well together and I dont think I have ever recommended only 1 or two of those. have you considered bundling all of those into one product? I know we can bundle ourselves but if 90% are selling all three together then we should just combine them.
