How Much Does AI-Visibility Management Cost for a Multi-Location or Franchise Business?
CitedLocal Dominance is $1,497/month plus a one-time $2,500 setup — per location, not per brand. Five locations runs $7,485/month. There's no bulk discount built into the published rate; for larger counts, pricing becomes a direct conversation.
The math, plainly
| Locations | Setup (one-time) | Monthly |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | $2,500 | $1,497 |
| 3 | $7,500 | $4,491 |
| 5 | $12,500 | $7,485 |
Setup is a one-time, non-refundable cost per location — it covers onboarding and baseline work for that specific profile. Your first month of management is included in the setup; the $1,497/month per location begins on day 31.
Why it's priced per location, not per brand
Every location is its own Google Business Profile, its own entity to AI, and its own geo-grid — covered in more depth on how AI visibility works across multiple locations. The work doesn't shrink because locations share a brand name; each one still needs its own profile management, its own monthly listings check, and its own geo-grid refresh. A flat brand-wide fee wouldn't reflect that the work is genuinely done once per address.
What's included at every location

- Monthly listings check — your directory listings reviewed each month, corrections submitted where data has drifted.
- TrustLinks added monthly — new local and social directory listings placed in your name, never bought.
- Full-service managed execution and priority 24-hour support.
- Up to 5 service areas per location.
If you're running more than five locations
The per-location rate is the published number, and it holds at any count — but past a certain scale, sequencing which locations to bring on first and how onboarding is staged becomes its own conversation. Own several locations or a franchise footprint larger than a handful? That's the point to talk it through directly rather than assume a number.
FAQ
Is there a bulk discount for a lot of locations?
Not a standing one. Pricing is $1,497/month plus a one-time $2,500 setup, per location. For larger location counts, pricing becomes a direct conversation rather than a fixed published grid — but there's no advertised bulk rate to assume going in.
Is the $2,500 setup fee charged once per location or once total?
Once per location. Each location gets its own onboarding and baseline setup, since each one is its own Google Business Profile, its own entity, and its own geo-grid — the setup work is location-specific, not shared.
Can I start with fewer locations and add more later?
Yes. Because pricing is per location rather than a flat brand-wide fee, you can start with your highest-priority locations and add the rest later at the same per-location rate — you aren't locked into managing every location at once.
