How does your methodology compare to standard SEO agency analyses?
Standard agency audits typically cover 4-6 surface-level signals: review count, posting activity, photo count, basic keyword presence. Our 18+-signal framework covers all of those plus AI visibility (ChatGPT/Gemini), revenue gap estimation, review velocity, category structure depth, NAP consistency across the web, Q&A engagement, and more. The expanded scope is why our reports surface issues that surface-level audits miss.
How is $147 even possible? What's the catch?
There's no catch. The report is the product. We built the analysis system once — it ingests your GBP data, scrapes your competitors, and generates the report. The marginal cost to produce one more report is roughly $4. $147 is what keeps us profitable at volume and accessible to practices that don't have a $5,000 marketing budget.
Can I see an example report before I buy?
Yes. Email us at contact@localgrowthinsights.com and we'll send you a redacted sample from a previous audit. Practice name and city are removed; everything else is real.
What if the report doesn't tell me anything I don't already know?
Then we refund the $147. We'd rather lose $147 than have someone feel cheated. If you're already on top of your GBP, tell us before you order and we'll suggest you skip it.
How do you actually get the competitor data?
Public sources only. Google Business Profiles, Google Maps, and published review data. We don't scrape anything private, we don't use hacks. The same data anyone with time could gather manually — we just gather it faster and structure it into a report.
Do I need to give you access to my Google account?
Not for the audit. The $147 report uses only public data about your profile. For the $247 optimization tier, yes — we need manager-level access to your GBP to execute the changes. Never owner access, and never for the report tier.
Is this really worth it for a small practice?
Small practices benefit more than large ones. If you're a solo dentist or a 2-chair practice, each new patient from Google matters more than it does for a 10-dentist corporate office. One new patient typically covers 15-30 audits depending on your procedures.
How do I pay? Is it secure?
Payments processed through Stripe. Credit card or ACH. No bank details stored on our side. You'll get a receipt and invoice by email immediately.
