Localo alternative: a team that does the work for you
Localo sells local SEO software that business owners, freelancers and agencies operate themselves, guided by weekly tasks. MapBoost is the alternative for owners who would rather not operate anything: our team runs your Google Business Profile.
Both look after the same profile. The difference is who does the work.

Frequently asked questions
What is Localo?
Localo is local SEO software for Google Business Profiles, sold to business owners, freelancers and agencies. Its pricing page describes weekly tasks that the user follows. Facts on this page were read from localo.com on 14 October 2026. MapBoost takes the opposite approach: our team does the work.
How much does Localo cost?
See the table on this page: each plan and price exactly as Localo listed it on 14 October 2026, in US dollars plus VAT. Prices can change, so check localo.com/pricing for current figures before you decide. MapBoost's price is published and does not depend on a plan tier.
Is MapBoost software like Localo?
No. MapBoost is a managed service. Our team does the work on your Google Business Profile every week, and you read a short weekly report on WhatsApp. It is not a tool you operate, so there are no weekly tasks for you to follow and nothing to learn.
Can a freelancer or agency use MapBoost instead of Localo Pro?
In a different way. Instead of operating software for each client, freelancers and agencies resell MapBoost's managed service under their own brand: our team does the work, they keep the client and the margin. Wholesale pricing per client location is agreed on a call with us.
How does MapBoost pricing compare with Localo?
MapBoost's price: India: ₹2,499* per location per month. Europe: €49 per location per month + VAT where applicable. Rest of the world: $49 per location per month. Replies, posts, photos, profile upkeep, rank checks, AI visibility and a weekly report are included. Localo lists plans in US dollars plus VAT, as the table shows. A free audit of your profile comes first with MapBoost.
Which is better for a small business, Localo or a managed service?
It depends on who will do the work. Software suits an owner who has regular hours to follow tasks. A managed service suits an owner who would rather spend those hours on customers. At MapBoost our team does the work, so the choice is really about your time.
Does Localo reply to reviews, and does MapBoost?
Localo's pricing page, as read on 14 October 2026, lists: “All Google reviews in one place, with reply templates in the business's brand voice”. At MapBoost our team answers every review for you. Replies are written in your voice. Negative reviews are handled by a person on our team. See review replies.
Who is MapBoost the right Localo alternative for?
It suits a business owner who wants the Google Business Profile looked after rather than a tool to learn. Our team replies to reviews, posts every week, adds photos every month and checks your rank every week, so you spend no hours on it. Owners who prefer to operate software themselves may still favour the software route. See our local SEO service.
Can I switch from Localo to MapBoost without losing my Google profile?
Yes. Your profile lives on Google, not inside any software, so nothing has to be moved. You add MapBoost as a manager on your Google profile, you stay the owner, and you can remove our access anytime. We start with a free audit of the profile, with no obligation. Start your free audit.
What does MapBoost not do that Localo's software does?
MapBoost does not give you software to operate. Localo's pricing page, as listed on the date shown in the table, mentions a position map and a content publisher. With us, our team checks rank every week across your area, acts on what it finds and sends a short PDF report on WhatsApp. See how rank checks work.
Does MapBoost offer white-label client reports like Localo Pro?
Yes, in the managed form. Localo's pricing page lists white-label client reports on its Pro plan, as shown in the table. MapBoost Pro includes white-label, and our team does the profile work. India: get a call. Europe: €169 a month, or €149 billed yearly; up to 5 profiles; €29 each extra; + VAT where applicable. Rest of the world: $169 a month, or $149 billed yearly; up to 5 profiles; $29 each extra. Read about white-label reports for agencies.
How does MapBoost charge a business with several locations, compared with Localo's plans?
The table on this page shows Localo's plans by number of Business Profiles, as listed on the date shown. MapBoost is simpler: every location gets the full service, and one Google profile counts as one location. India: ₹2,499* per location per month. Europe: €49 per location per month + VAT where applicable. Rest of the world: $49 per location per month. Our pricing page has the details.
Will I get a GST invoice from MapBoost instead of paying dollars plus VAT?
Yes, if you are in India: MapBoost bills in rupees there, and a GST invoice is emailed every month. India: ₹2,499* per location per month. Europe: €49 per location per month + VAT where applicable. Rest of the world: $49 per location per month. Localo's plans, as listed on its pricing page on the date shown in the table, are in US dollars plus VAT. See pricing and billing answers.
How do I decide between Localo and MapBoost before paying for either?
Ask who will do the weekly work. If you will, software fits. If you would rather someone else does it, a managed service fits. Then read the table on this page, which shows Localo's price as listed on the date shown. Our free audit shows what your profile needs, with no obligation. Get the free audit.
