Built around your client’s questions
A location’s visibility is more than one ranking.
Local SEO agencies using BrightLocal location reports
Local search changes across keywords, areas and the reputation of the business. A monthly report should explain those different views without turning them into one mysterious score. Start with the location, then show the supported ranking, grid and review measures that matter to the client.
Monthwrap reads results from the BrightLocal reports your agency already runs. Pair those results with profile work, website improvements and the next local priority. The client gets a coherent review of the location while the detailed research and report configuration remain in BrightLocal.
Choose the numbers that matter
What BrightLocal
brings to the report.
Local rankings, grid results and review metrics. Choose the relevant figures, add comparisons where the data supports them, and explain what changed.
Map pack coverage
Use the reported share of tracked keywords in the map pack as context. Explain the keyword set and avoid treating the percentage as universal visibility across every local search.
Local Search Grid measures
Bring average map rank and the supported share of high-ranking grid points into the report. These are summary measures of the existing grid reports, not a new scan launched by Monthwrap.
Reputation measures
Report newly published reviews alongside available rating and review-total snapshots. Distinguish a month’s new reviews from the all-time review count so the story remains clear.
For your next client report
Review a location program
Put ranking and reputation measures beside profile care, local content and website work. Explain which part of the location’s presence the next month’s work will address.

Know what each
number means.
Existing reports provide the data
The connection reads supported results from reports already run in BrightLocal. It does not create new scans, choose grid points or spend reporting credits on the agency’s behalf.
Summary measures are not a full grid display
A reported average or coverage share describes the underlying scan. It should not be presented as a complete interactive point-by-point map unless that separate view has been supplied.
Before you connect
A few useful
answers.
Does connecting BrightLocal run new scans?
No. The connection reads supported results from the location’s existing reports. Continue to manage report configuration, scan schedules and research work inside BrightLocal.
Can I show Business Profile activity alongside it?
Yes. Use Google Business Profile as a separate source for supported profile metrics and activity. BrightLocal adds ranking, grid and reputation context with its own definitions and reporting dates.
Why are some numbers snapshots and others monthly totals?
A ranking or average rating is a level at a point in time, while newly published reviews occur during a period. Use the appropriate display for each instead of summing every figure across the month.
