For local services

The local SEO audit that finds your competitor's real edge.

Local SEO is not just maps. It is service-area pages, review schema, click-to-call CTAs, and city-specific content. Rivalist audits all of it.

The problem

Why local services struggle with SEO tools

  • You rank great for the city you're in. You're invisible in the suburbs your competitor dominates.

  • "SEO consultants" pitch generic audits that ignore Google Business Profile and the local 3-pack.

  • Your reviews are good but you don't know if review schema is set up correctly.
