Stop guessing.
One expert move a week.
KnowLocal is your local SEO companion, funded by credits instead of a subscription. We re-scan your Google Business Profile and your competitors every month, and each Monday send you the single highest-impact move to rank higher on Google Maps and get recommended in AI search — you do it in about 30 minutes, we track what moved.
Built by a consultant who did exactly this, by hand, for thousands of local businesses — from a Leicester high street to owners around the world.
You already know how to email.
That’s all KnowLocal Plus needs.
No new tool to learn. No new login to forget. No dashboard, no app, no subscription. Every week, one email lands with the single most valuable thing to do — in plain English, done in under an hour. You do that one thing. We handle the knowing.
You run the business. We’ll keep you found — on Google and in AI search.
Most tools hand you 40 things to fix.
So you do none of them.
A giant checklist is overwhelming — you freeze, close the tab, and forget. KnowLocal Plus does the opposite: one prioritised task a week, in order of impact, so your profile actually stays active, fresh and ahead — all year.
How a week works
Monday: one task lands
A short email with this week’s single most important move — the what, the why, and the exact steps.
~30 minutes: you do it
Written for a busy owner, not a marketer. No jargon, no dashboard to learn. Just do the one thing.
One tap: mark it done
Tap “done” and next week’s task builds on it — and skips anything you’ve already sorted.
Every 4th week: we re-scan
We re-audit you and your competitors and show you exactly what moved. Real progress, not vibes.
See exactly what lands each week
Real emails, not a mock-up — one move a week (we write it, you paste it), and a monthly re-scan that shows what moved. Hover to pause.
What lands in your inbox
Everything a local-SEO consultant would do for you — turned into one doable task a week.
One move — not a to-do list
Every Monday, the single highest-impact task for your business this week. What to do, why it matters, and how — in plain steps you can finish over a coffee.
A monthly re-scan that proves progress
Every fourth week we re-audit your profile and your competitors, so you see exactly what moved — your reviews, your score, and whether the gap is closing or widening.
Competitors watched for you
We watch the businesses next to you. When a rival pulls ahead, your next task is aimed at closing that gap before it costs you customers.
An expert on the end of every email
Hit reply on any weekly email with a question. A consultant-grade AI that already knows your profile, reviews and rivals answers you back — and loops in a human when it’s a judgement call.
Always current — Google and AI
A strategy agent checks every task against the latest in local SEO, AI search (whether ChatGPT & Gemini name you when customers ask) and reputation — never stale, 2018 advice.
Reputation across the web
Not just Google. As a member, your monthly re-scan tracks Trustpilot, Tripadvisor and wider-web mentions too — so a slipping rating anywhere becomes next week’s task before it spreads.
Delivered straight to your inbox, every week — or ask for it directly inside Claude (or any MCP-compatible AI assistant) once you connect your membership. Email keeps working exactly the same either way.
Or just send us a link by email.
No form. No account. Email a Google Maps link to scan@knowlocal.io and reply with the code to confirm it’s you — your full audit comes back in your inbox, PDF and all.
DIY vs KnowLocal Plus vs an agency
Dashboards and AI tools hand you data and leave the deciding to you. Agencies do it for you — at a price. KnowLocal Plus sits in the middle: we pick the move and write the words; you keep control.
| Capability | DIY dashboards / AI tools |
Best valueKnowLocal Plus | Agency done-for-you |
|---|---|---|---|
| What you actually get | Raw data, dashboards, or AI answers — you decide what matters | One prioritised move a week, with the words written for you to paste | They do the work for you, on their schedule |
| Who picks the next move | You — every week, on your own | We do, scored against your own audit and your rivals | They do (and you rarely see why) |
| Competitor tracking | Manual, if you remember to look | Watched for you; tasks aim at closing the gap | Usually, on the higher tiers |
| AI-search (ChatGPT / Gemini) | Not covered by most dashboards | Built in — tasks chosen for AI visibility too | Varies; often an add-on |
| Time it asks of you | Hours — reading, deciding, doing | About 30 minutes a week, one task | Little — but you hand over control |
| What it costs | Dashboards from ~£29/mo, forever | From £20 in credits · never expires | £500–£2,000/mo, rolling contract |
| Commitment | Cancel anytime — but nothing happens unless you do | No commitment — buy credits, use them whenever, never expire | Rolling monthly contract |
Why it’s different
Dashboards bill forever. Agencies cost a fortune. Plus just tells you the next move.
Hand you data and a dashboard, then assume you know what to do with it. The bill never stops.
Do it for you, but at a price most independent businesses can’t justify — on a rolling contract.
Tells you the ONE thing to do each week, tracks that it worked, and covers AI-search too. Pay only for what you use — no subscription.
AI tools give you answers. KnowLocal gets you customers.
ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and the rest are brilliant — if you already know what to ask, can judge the answer, and will do the work. KnowLocal is built for the opposite: you do nothing but read one short email a week.
You prompt it, sift the answer, decide what matters, and remember to act — every week. It doesn’t know your business, your reviews, or the café beating you down the road. It won’t chase you.
Knows your business and your rivals. Picks the ONE move that matters this week. Writes the words for you to paste. Lands in your inbox without you asking. Checks it worked. No prompts, no logins, no jargon.
Same idea with SEO dashboards, connectors and "AI marketing" apps: they hand you tools and data. We hand you the decision and the words. You stay in control; you just never have to figure out what to do.
Years of hand-doing this, distilled into one email a week
The team behind KnowLocal spent years doing local search by hand for thousands of small businesses — dentists, solicitors, salons and trades that live or die by how they show up. The work was always the same rhythm: check the profile, watch the competitors, pick the one move that mattered most that week, repeat.
KnowLocal Plus is that hard-won routine, distilled — so any owner gets an expert in their corner without the consultant’s day rate. And we’re not stopping here.
Your year keeps getting more valuable
We ship improvements to every member, included — no upsells. What that means for you:
You’ll hear about a reputation issue or a rival’s move while you can still act — not months later.
Clearer proof of the customers your weekly moves are bringing in — in plain numbers, not jargon.
As discovery spreads beyond Google, we keep you visible wherever your next customer is searching.
We keep removing the thinking and the typing — so your weekly minutes get smaller and your results don’t.
Every improvement is included at no extra credit cost — you only ever pay for scans and tasks.
A consultant who does this charges £150–500 a month.
KnowLocal is the same routine — one prioritised move a week, monthly re-scans across Google, Trustpilot, Tripadvisor, the wider web and AI search, and an expert on the end of every email — for only the credits you use.
£1,800–6,000 a year, on a rolling contract.
Data you have to read and act on yourself — forever.
Pay only for what you use — a scan, a task. Credits never expire, no recurring bill.
Equivalent consulting value over a year: £5,000–15,000. You pay only for the scans and tasks you actually use.
Every new account starts with £5 in credit — enough for one PRO scan and a weekly task.
Agencies: buy a larger credit pack and run scans + tasks for every client — ask about multi-seat.
Questions
Is this a subscription?
No. KnowLocal runs on credits, not a subscription. You buy a credit pack (never expires) and each scan or weekly task deducts a fixed amount. No recurring billing, no auto-renewal, nothing to cancel.
Is it worth it?
A local-SEO consultant doing this charges £150–500 a month — £1,800–6,000 a year. An SEO dashboard is £35–60 a month, forever, and you still do the work yourself. KnowLocal is the same guided routine, but you pay only for what you use: a basic scan is 1 credit, a PRO scan (cross-platform + AI visibility) is 3, a weekly task is 2 — and every new account starts with free credit to try it.
Do I need any technical skill?
None. Each week’s task is written for a busy owner — clear steps, plain language, usually finished in under an hour.
How is this different from the free audit?
The free audit is a snapshot. The credit-funded programme is the ongoing relationship: it keeps scanning, keeps tracking your competitors, and keeps telling you the one thing to do next — for as long as you keep credits topped up.
Does it cover AI search (ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI)?
Yes — that’s a core part of it. AI assistants now decide who gets recommended, using the same trust signals we track. Your tasks are chosen with AI-search visibility in mind, not just the 2018 Google playbook.
Doesn’t Google’s new Gemini assistant replace this?
No — and you can happily use both. Gemini’s Business Profile features help the owner who opens the app and asks; they tidy your profile and draft review replies. But Gemini won’t tell you how to beat the business next door (Google won’t pit its own customers against each other), and it waits for you to come to it. KnowLocal pushes one competitive move a week to your inbox and works across AI search too — connect Gemini for your stats, let us turn them into action.
Where do the tasks come from?
From a structured programme of high-impact local-visibility plays, prioritised against your own audit each week — foundations first, then reviews, photos, services, AI-search and posting. Each is checked against current best practice and written for you (we draft the copy you paste). The monthly re-scan re-checks everything, so finished items retire and any new gaps surface.
Can I ask questions, or is it just the weekly email?
Ask away. Reply to any weekly email and a consultant-grade AI — already briefed on your profile, your reviews and the competitors next door — answers you back, usually the same day. If it’s a real judgement call, a person picks it up. It’s the “expert in your corner” part of the programme, included at no extra credit cost.
Is it really 52 different tasks?
We’d rather be honest: it’s a finite programme — typically 20–30 weeks of genuinely high-impact moves, in the right order, with no filler or busywork. After that it settles into a light maintenance rhythm (a steady review-and-post cadence) plus the monthly re-scan, so your profile keeps compounding without us inventing make-work.
What if it’s not for me?
Credits never expire, so there’s no clock running — try a scan, see if it’s useful, and only buy more when you want to. See our Terms for the full policy.
What if I want it done for me?
That’s coming. A done-for-you service is on the way for owners who’d rather hand it over — credit customers will be first to hear.
Staying ahead starts with one task.
