This user guide shows how to use Local SEO AI from sign-up to your first published update: connecting Google, adding keywords, replying to reviews, planning posts and images, and reading reports. Watch the 4-minute tour or read it step by step; the sections follow the video’s chapters in the same order.
Local SEO AI helps you get found and chosen on Google and in AI search: it drafts review replies, checks where you appear and gives you a Brand page that takes orders on WhatsApp.
Watch the tour above, or read each section below.

Common questions
Do I need a card?
No, not for the 30 free credits. A card is only needed if you start the 14-day free trial of a plan, and nothing is charged if you cancel during the trial.
What is the difference between free credits and the free trial?
30 free credits need no card and have no time limit. The 14-day free trial needs a card and gives the full plan, with its locations and users, plus 250 trial credits. If you don't cancel, the yearly or monthly price you chose is charged on day 15.
What happens when my free credits run out?
You can keep using the free parts, such as uploads and templates, or choose a plan.
