Merchynt (Paige) — more mature automation than Localo, but $99/mo per profile and tool-first. 3. BrightLocal — better reporting; doesn't do the work. 4. Whitespark — specialist citations. 5. Birdeye / Podium — reputation/lead conversion at enterprise prices. 6. Stick with Localo — if budget is the priority and you're happy doing the tasks yourself.
