Broader than local SEO. These platforms cover listings, reviews, social and local pages for brands running the same marketing across many sites.
Pricing checked September 2026 and taken from each vendor own page. Where a vendor publishes nothing, the row says so rather than carrying a guess.
Multi location marketing software is meant to replace four subscriptions with one. The honest question is whether the bundle is good at all four or good at one and passable at the rest. GBPPromote is first because all 42 tools sit on a single plan at $5.33 per location from eight sites, with no contract, which is unusual in a category where most vendors quote privately and bill annually.
How we ranked these
Ordered for this job specifically rather than reused from another list. Five things decided the order.
Real coverage, not a feature list
Most platforms are strong in one area and thin in the others. Work out which one you are actually buying.
Local autonomy with brand control
Branch teams need to post locally without being able to break the brand. That balance is the hard part.
Published pricing
Half this category will not tell you a number without a call, which makes budgeting guesswork.
Contract length
Annual agreements with auto renewal are normal here. Check the notice period before, not after.
Cost per location at your size
The per location figure at fifty sites is the number that decides this, not the headline.
GBPPromote is our platform and GMBSoftware is our own brand on it, which is why both sit at the top. Every other entry says plainly where it beats us.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best multi location marketing software?
GBPPromote for most operators, because everything is on one published plan at $5.33 per location from eight sites with no contract. SOCi is the stronger answer for a large franchise system that needs head office control over local social.
How much does it cost?
The transparent end of this list starts at $16 a month. The enterprise end is quoted privately and commonly lands in the hundreds per location per month on an annual deal.
Do I need one platform or several tools?
One platform if the tools genuinely cover your four jobs. Several tools if you would otherwise pay enterprise money for three modules you will never open.
Why do so many vendors hide pricing?
Because the price depends on location count and the sales process is built around it. It is normal in the category, but it does make a shortlist slow to build.
What is the most common regret?
Signing an annual contract for a bundle after using one part of it. Check the notice period and the renewal clause before you sign anything.
