Agency Pilot vs Local Dominator
Local Dominator is a local rank tracker with profile management, citations and AI tracking bolted on. Agency Pilot tracks local rankings too, adds fifteen SEO audits and sales reports, and runs the rest of your agency — access, leads, revenue, reporting and the client portal — in the same place.
Choose Agency Pilot if…
you want rank tracking and audits connected to the client's access, leads, sold jobs and portal, sales reports that tell you when a prospect opens them, or organic and Local Finder data from the same grid with depth to the top 100.
Choose Local Dominator if…
you want to manage Business Profile posts, Q&A and AI review replies, push citations to 70+ directories, track six named AI engines with your own prompts, or white-label reports on your own domain with an API.
Local Dominator sells credits: one per point for a Google Maps grid, two per point for a Local Pack grid, with grids up to 15×15. Around the tracker it adds Business Profile management, a citations builder, an AI tracker and a site audit, several of them as paid add-ons.
Agency Pilot's geo grid runs Maps, the Local Finder and organic results on square or circular grids up to 441 points, with depth to the top 100, a verify link per point and profile comparison against the top five competitors. Around it sit fifteen audits — from a Business Profile audit and keyword gap to AI search visibility and new-and-lost links — and branded reports built from them.
And around that sits the agency: one link to get access to every client account, a CRM, Mission Control across every client's ads and leads, lead attribution with sold-job ROAS, click-fraud protection and a portal and LeadPulse app for the client.

The honest version
Where Agency Pilot goes further
Bigger, deeper grids
Up to 441 points, three scan types from the same grid, and search depth to the top 100.
Audits that close deals
Prospect Scorecard and Sales Report turn public data into a graded pitch with missed revenue — and you're alerted when the prospect opens it.
The whole SEO picture
Keyword gap, share of voice, traffic value, backlinks and seasonality alongside the map, not just rankings.
Onboarding built in
One link gets you into the client's Business Profile, Google Ads, Analytics, Search Console and Meta, and those connections feed their dashboard.
Revenue, not just rank
Leads tagged by channel and sold jobs recorded against them, so you can show a client what their rankings earned.
A place for the client
A portal and the LeadPulse app with their numbers, leads and reports, plus your conversations with them.
