October
Track Your Brand in AI Search Visibility
FeatureYou can now see how often your brand appears in answers from ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode, Google AI Overview and Perplexity. Each AI Visibility monitor shows your visibility score, average position, brand mentions and citations, and compares you with your top competitors.
This helps you spot where competitors are recommended instead of you, and which websites AI tools cite most often.
To use it, open AI Visibility in the side menu and click Create AI Visibility Monitor. Pick a branded segment, choose Auto-generate prompts or Custom prompts, and click Next. Open a monitor to see its Overview, Prompts, Citations and Competitors tabs.

September
Smarter Posting Across Groups & Segments
FeatureReach more locations in one step with group-wide and segment-wide posting. When you create a post, you can now send it to specific locations, every location in the location group, or every location in your current segment. Scheduled posts also include locations added before they go live, so every branch stays up to date.

More Location Details in Your Local Schema
ImprovementYour Local Business Schema now includes more of each location's Google Business Profile details: place action links, services with their descriptions, special hours and attributes.
Search engines read this structured data from your website, so richer schema helps them show accurate and complete information about each location.
To use it, open a location and go to the Local Schema tab. Click Copy Code and embed the script in the body section of your website. For multi-location businesses, add each location's script to its own subpage. Scripts you have already embedded pick up the new details automatically.

Track Competitor Visibility with Campaigns
FeatureMonitor how your locations perform against competitors with the new Campaigns feature in Competitor Analysis. Create a campaign for a group of locations and, once the first scans finish, you'll see average rank, visibility, and how your rank is trending. Campaigns are currently in open preview.

Custom Branding with White-label Subdomains
FeatureOffer the platform under your own brand with the new White-label settings. You can now claim a subdomain in Settings, under the White-label tab, and set your brand name, logo, favicon, and theme colours. Add a terms link to the login page, or switch custom branding off at any time to return to the original look.

Stay on Track with Account Setup
FeatureGet your account ready step by step with the new Account Setup checklist at the bottom of the sidebar. It shows how many steps you've completed, from inviting a teammate and personalising the dashboard to creating a brand, editing locations, planning posts, and turning on reviews, monitors, notifications, and citations. You can skip any step, and the checklist confirms when your account is fully set up.

Smarter Bulk Actions with Ask AI
ImprovementOur AI Agent can now start bulk work for you, straight from the search bar. Ask AI to run Bulk Image Upload to add photos to several locations, Bulk Review Reply to answer unreplied reviews, Bulk Location Edit to update details across locations, or Bulk Citation Sync to sync citations across publishers.

August
Drive Bookings and Orders with Place Action Links
FeatureMake it easier for customers to book, order or shop straight from your profiles. Open a location's profile, go to the Contact tab and click Edit Location, then Add Action Link under Place Action Links.
Choose an action type, Appointment, Online appointment, Dining reservation, Food ordering, Food delivery, Food takeout or Shop online, add the link, and mark one link as preferred. Save your changes to update the location.

Tailor Your Locations with Custom Fields
FeatureTrack the details that matter to your business with new custom fields. You can now enable up to nine custom fields in Settings, under the Custom Fields tab, and choose a yes/no, text, or number format for each. Enabled fields appear on every location profile and in the locations table, where you can set the value for each location.

July
Setup Scheduled Auto-Replies with Custom Agents
FeatureAutomatic review replies can now follow each location's opening hours, so responses go out while your business is open.
Leave Active Reply Hours off to use each location's own hours, or turn it on to set one fixed schedule, with a timezone, active days and start and end times, for every location in that configuration.
To find it, go to Settings, open the Automation tab and, under Auto Reply, create a configuration or edit an existing one. Active Reply Hours is on the Reply Window step.

Smarter Email Alerts for Your Team
FeatureChoose exactly which emails each teammate receives with the updated notification settings. In Settings, under the Notifications tab, you can now limit New Review Alerts to selected star ratings, get Google Update Alerts for suggested profile changes, and receive Google Verification Alerts when a verification status changes. You can also send a weekly Digest Report with business profile performance insights.

Multi-Keyword Scans in Competitor Analysis
ImprovementGet a fuller picture of your local rankings with multi-keyword scans. You can now scan a location for up to five keywords at once by choosing Multi Keyword in Run Scan and separating the keywords with commas. On the Monitor tab, schedule scans daily, weekly, or monthly, and choose whether they run during a set time window or while the location is open.

May
Organise Locations with Apple Brands
FeatureKeep your Apple Business Connect listings organised with new brand segments. You can now create a brand with its name, country, category, and website, choose whether you own the brand or operate as a franchisee, and attach locations to it. Each location can belong to one brand.

April
Track Reviews with Media on the Reviews Page
ImprovementYou can now see how many of your Google reviews include photos or videos. The Reviews page shows a new Reviews with Media Count tile next to your average rating, total reviews and reply rate.
Reviews with photos carry extra weight with customers, so knowing how many you have helps you spot which locations get the most visual feedback.
To use it, open Reviews in the sidebar and look at the KPI row at the top. Change the date range or filters to see the count for a specific period or set of locations.

Stay Verified with Smart Notifications
FeatureNever let a location drop off the map with new Google Verification notifications designed to keep your profiles live and searchable. You can now enable these alerts in the settings menu to receive updates as soon as a location requires re-verification. To save time, the platform also stores the verification method used for each location, so you know exactly how to restore it when needed.

Improve Visibility with Presence Score
FeatureManaging your brand’s digital footprint is now more transparent with an updated Citation Management interface and the introduction of the Presence Score. This new metric shows the ratio of live, updating listings compared to your total locations, helping you quickly identify and prioritize locations with the lowest visibility.

A Smarter Dashboard for Better Insights
FeatureThe main dashboard has evolved into a strategic command centre, featuring a new “Overall Health” section and a Recommendations engine that turns raw data into actionable insights. To better understand your impact, the Revenue Estimator lets you input transaction values and conversion rates to project the financial value of your local SEO efforts. Navigation has also been improved across the platform, with enhanced tables and filters. You can now exclude filters with a double-tick, reset them individually, and benefit from smoother scrolling with fixed table headers and footers.

March
New Automation Tools in Admin & Settings
FeatureTake control of your external workflows with new automation-friendly features in the Admin and Settings tabs. You can now generate a Local Schema token by selecting a specific location and navigating to the Admin section, where you’ll find the Local Schema tab. Embed this token in your website’s header to ensure that key business data, such as opening hours, stays automatically synced with our platform. For technical users and agencies, a new API Key tab is available under Settings, where you can create secure tokens for external use, making it easy to build custom workflows in tools like N8N or Zapier without manual data entry.

Smarter Bulk Editing with Segments & AI
ImprovementOur bulk edit section has been fully redesigned to work seamlessly with segments and labels. Select locations based on specific criteria, like profiles missing a cover photo, and update hundreds at once. Easily edit descriptions, opening hours, and attributes with smart indicators showing where changes apply. Save time with “Save as Template” for services and generate AI-powered service descriptions using localised parameters and multiple languages. Plus, manage media effortlessly with bulk video uploads and a complete edit history.

Improved Location Management
ImprovementWe’ve improved the location sections of the app to make managing your content easier and more reliable. You’ll now receive a warning before leaving the page if there are unsaved changes, helping prevent accidental data loss. Media management has also been enhanced with albums and a simplified media upload process.
