Compare Lighthouse Local vs. Local Falcon

A grid is the unit to understand first. You pick a grid from 3x3 to 21x21 around a point, and each prompt runs from every point on it, so a 5x5 scan returns 25 separate AI answers and the largest grid samples 441 points. Each scan reports a share of AI voice, a buyer persuasion score and the sources each answer cited. That's a real strength when your customers live within a few miles, because an AI answer can change from one neighborhood to the next and a map shows where you're named and where a rival is.

The question to ask any vendor is what its measurement answers. Does it tell you where on a map you show up, or whether the assistants name you for the services and towns you sell? Both are useful, and they're different jobs.

Lighthouse Local is built around the second one. It asks ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI the questions your customers type, by city and service area, and shows whether you're named and who's named instead. The result is a gap for each town and each service, rather than a score on a map.

Start with the first question. What does it cost to learn whether ChatGPT recommends you for one more service in one more town? On a credit model like Local Falcon's, the answer is grid points. A 5x5 grid is 25 credits per prompt, per platform, per run, so the bill moves every time you add a location, a platform or a weekly schedule, and its pricing page sends you to an in-account planner to size it. That's the right trade when your customers live inside a few miles and you want to watch the answer change block by block.

Now the second question. Once you know you're missing, who turns that into work? A grid report tells you where. Turning that into changes on your site, your Google Business Profile or your listings is separate work, with Falcon AI's analysis at another 25 credits a report and Falcon Agent handling Google Business Profile tasks on Basic and up.

Lighthouse Local is built around those two questions. Every plan checks ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI for every question you track, by city and service area, with the monthly answer-check allowance shown on the pricing cards above, so adding a town is one more question, not a budget exercise. Every gap lands on a ranked fix list in plain English, and our specialists make the fixes if you'd rather not. If you also want Google Maps rank tracking, Local Falcon does that well and the two sit side by side.

Picture what a client sees on day one. Local Falcon's agency story is built on credits and reports. Every plan has unlimited keywords and locations, location groups organize clients and regions, every report has a public URL that needs no login, and Campaign Scans can email reports to clients on a schedule. The pricing matrix gives White Label Reports to Premium and Enterprise plans, so your own branding on the client-facing report starts at the top self-serve tier. The features page names an embeddable scan widget for lead capture and per-client workspaces, with no plan gate or setup guide on the pages we read, and team seats or client logins aren't published. If your clients buy Maps rank tracking and a visual grid is how you report, that model fits well.

Then ask any vendor this, and get the answers in writing before you commit. On which plan does the client-facing view carry your brand, and what does each extra client add to your bill?
