What is Local Falcon?
Local Falcon is a local SEO platform that tracks how a business ranks across a map grid in Google Business Profile and Apple Business Connect results. Instead of one ranking number, a scan checks many points around a location and shows a color-coded map of where the business appears. It also tracks brand visibility in AI tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok and Google AI Overviews.
Local Falcon has its own metrics, including Share of Local Voice, Share of AI Voice and a Buyer Persuasion Score that rates how favorably AI platforms describe a brand. Its AI features analyze reports and suggest fixes, and Falcon Agent can take actions such as updating a profile or replying to reviews. Pricing is credit-based, with unlimited keywords and locations on every plan.
