Design note from a thing I shipped, offered as an argument rather than an announcement. A number that took an afternoon to compute and that no vendor prints: local SEO software is priced per location, so the bill multiplies exactly as the work does. At 20 locations the same feature set is $2,480/month on GatherUp, $1,300 on BrightLocal Grow, $600 on Semrush Local Base. The interesting part is not the spread, it is the shape. Per-location pricing is rational for the vendor, because each profile generates sync jobs and API calls. It is irrational for the buyer, who cannot see the total until after committing. Every figure is from the vendor's own pricing page, dated, because a pricing claim you cannot check is a marketing claim. If anyone here tracks tool costs at their own scale I would like to compare notes, especially where per-location pricing turns out to be cheaper than flat. If you have solved the part I have not, I would rather hear that than agreement.
