The Local SEO Manager audits your Google Business Profile and the main local directories, lists every fix, drafts posts and holiday hours ahead and flags edits you did not make. Nothing goes live without your approval, and a monthly report shows where you appear in local searches, without promising a top spot. How this differs from the SEO agent (https://myzone.ai/pages/agents/ai-seo-agent): To improve your website's pages and keywords, use the SEO agent; the Local SEO Manager works on your map listing and local directories. ## How it works 1. **Audit the listing** (At the start): It reviews your listing and the main local directories. 2. **Agree the fixes** (you approve) (Once the audit is ready): You approve the corrections and the posting plan. 3. **Update and post** (After you approve): Approved fixes are made and approved posts go out on schedule. 4. **Track and report** (Every month): A monthly report shows changes in how you appear in local searches. ## When to use it - **You moved or changed your phone number:** Every listing is checked and the fixes are lined up. - **Your listing has not been updated in a year:** A posting plan and fresh photos bring it back to life. - **Holiday hours are coming up:** Special hours are prepared ahead for your approval. - **Someone suggested a wrong edit to your listing:** It is flagged for you to review. - **You serve several towns:** Rankings are tracked for each area you care about. ## What you get - A listing and directory audit with fixes - Approved posts and updates for your listing - Holiday and special hours prepared ahead - A local ranking report - Alerts for changes you did not make ## Example: monthly local search report Example with a fictional company. Names, people and figures are invented to show the agent's output. Any resemblance to a real company or person is unintended. What it was asked: Make sure people nearby find us when they search for a mechanic: keep our Google listing and directory listings right, post updates, and show me where we come up. This is an illustrative example of the monthly local search report Local SEO Manager is being built to produce: profile fixes, map-grid tracking, listing accuracy and weekly profile updates. It was written by hand from the agent's design for an invented garage, with invented searches, directories and figures. No real systems, listings or people were involved, and nothing was sent, posted, paid or changed. Run date: 15 October 2026. ### What it found - Cranholt Auto Repair's tracked searches, each with where the business appears in the map results this month. - For brake repair, the garage reaches the top three from 22 of 25 spots around the shop, up from 6, with an average position of 2.3. - The business profile is 96% complete and 27 of 31 directory listings match it exactly; four corrections are sent and waiting on the directories.

Rankings depend on many things outside anyone's control. - Posts and changes go live only after your approval. - It never creates fake listings, fake reviews or misleading business names. ## Frequently asked questions ### Why does my business name and address need to match everywhere online?
