Platform-Integrated Approach:

Local Service Business Owner

"I was paying $299/month for BirdEye mainly for review management, but realized I was barely using the citation features. The free citation checker gives me better citation analysis in seconds, and I saved $3,600 annually. I use the savings for Google Ads instead."

Marcus Rodriguez, Plumbing Contractor

Healthcare Practice Manager

"BirdEye's citation features were buried in their complex dashboard. This free tool gives me exactly what I need for citation auditing - clear, actionable results without the monthly fee. For a multi-location practice, the savings are substantial."

Dr. Patricia Wong, Medical Practice Group
