Local Falcon and RankUpside answer different local SEO questions. Local Falcon scans a grid of points around a business to show where it ranks in the map pack and in AI answers across its area. RankUpside reads Search Console to explain why a client's clicks moved and which fix comes first. The two work side by side.
What it doesn't do: RankUpside doesn't run geo-grid scans, track rank at points across a service area or edit Business Profiles. It checks weekly whether a map pack shows from the client's city.
Updated · Checked · Local Falcon's public pages
Local Falcon tells you where a business ranks across its service area. RankUpside tells you what changed in its search clicks, why, and what to fix first. A local agency often needs both answers.

A week of local work, question by question. The map pack finding is where the two meet: one shows the pack, the other shows what it does to clicks. See RankUpside for local SEO agencies and the geo-grid definition.
| The question | Where to look |
|---|---|
| Where does the client show up in the map pack across town? | Local Falcon: a grid scan around the business |
| The home page ranks #1, so why are there no clicks? | RankUpside: the Map pack finding, backed by the weekly live check |
| Is it the map pack, or did the page lose rank? | RankUpside: Map pack and Losing rank are separate causes with opposite fixes |
| Did the Business Profile work move the pack? | Local Falcon: trend reports across scans |
| What goes to the client each week? | RankUpside: the white-label report link or PDF, with the latest grid image sent alongside |
Fix: Work the Google Business Profile.
Don't rewrite the title. It already ranks #1–2.
Everything about the map itself. RankUpside doesn't scan grids and isn't trying to.
What Local Falcon has that we don't
Credits, one per grid point. A 7×7 scan is 49 credits, so cost grows with grid size, keywords and how often you scan. RankUpside's prices are set at launch.
| Plan | Monthly | Credits a month |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | $24.99 | 7,500 |
| Basic | $49.99 | 15,150 |
| Pro | $99.99 | 31,250 |
| Premium | $199.99 | 63,150 |
Plan credits expire each cycle; pay-as-you-go credits at $0.05 don't. Enterprise from $499 a month. Checked Oct 20, 2026 on localfalcon.com/pricing.
