A tour of the RankLocal dashboard: the location switcher, health score panel and the main tabs for citations, reviews and grid tracking that everything else in the course builds on.
The single biggest local ranking lever lives in the Profile tab. This guide covers every field RankLocal checks and how to fix the ones flagged as incomplete.
Building citations at scale without creating duplicates is a common failure mode. This guide covers the Citations tab's builder, submission tracking and duplicate suppression.
Mismatched name, address and phone details across the web quietly undermine trust signals. This guide covers how RankLocal detects inconsistencies and the correction workflow.
Local search behaviour differs from national keyword research. This guide covers the location-aware research tools inside RankLocal for finding terms worth targeting.
Review velocity and response quality both feed the health score. This guide covers request campaigns, response templates and handling a negative review inside RankLocal.
Local rankings vary by physical location in a way national rankings don't. This guide covers setting up and reading RankLocal's grid tracking map.
Generic location pages hurt more than they help. This guide covers RankLocal's content tools for producing genuinely local pages using real business detail rather than templated filler.
Knowing exactly who holds the map pack and why is more useful than tracking your own metrics in isolation. This guide covers the competitor comparison views inside RankLocal.
Structured data helps search engines parse your business details confidently. This guide covers RankLocal's schema generator and how to verify it's implemented correctly.
Local link opportunities differ from general link building. This guide covers RankLocal's local-specific link prospecting and how it connects to RankLinks for execution.
A short, repeatable daily check keeps a location's profile healthy without turning local SEO into a full-time task. This guide sets out what to actually look at each day.
Managing many client locations needs structure beyond the single-location routine. This guide covers multi-location dashboards, bulk actions and client access controls.
Client-facing reporting needs to look like your agency's own product, not RankLocal's. This guide covers branding, report building and scheduled delivery.
