We built these tools because our own local search work for home service companies needed them. Now the same local SEO software is open to agencies, freelancers and in-house marketers.

As our client list grew, more of each week went into pulling rankings from different dashboards and rebuilding them into reports, all to answer one question: what do we do next? So we built the tools we wanted. The Sure Shot Local Rank Tracker runs every one of our client accounts, and Sure Shot Cited writes the articles we publish for them.

On a prepaid annual tracker plan, unused months are not refunded, and you can cancel the renewal anytime. Self-serve signup isn't live yet. Plan buttons open a short request form, and we set up each account by hand in one business day or less.

Yes, plenty of owners and in-house marketers do. The hard part is knowing which task will move rankings this week, and every Local Rank Tracker report answers that question.
Yes, SEO still pays off. The two leading AI answer sources today, ChatGPT and Google's AI Overviews and AI Mode, both cite web pages, so pages that rank well and answer clearly still get found. Nobody controls whether or when an AI names a business, so our Local Rank Tracker shows who Google's AI cites in your market each week and the work that makes a citation more likely.
