BrightLocal keeps clients. LeadsByLocation finds them.

BrightLocal is one of the best local SEO management platforms on the market. But it doesn't help you find new clients. LeadsByLocation does. Use both.

If you're an agency running BrightLocal for your clients, you already know how powerful it is for rank tracking, citations, and reviews. But you've probably also noticed the gap: nothing in BrightLocal helps you fill your pipeline with new business. That's the problem we solve.

BrightLocal manages your existing clients. LeadsByLocation finds your next ones. Website quality scores, PDF audit reports, and outreach angles — the prospecting tool that complements BrightLocal.
