Great tool overall. The analytics dashboard is comprehensive and the support team is responsive. Only wish they had a more affordable tier for startups.

Been using this for 6 months now. Our local search rankings have improved significantly. The duplicate detection feature alone is worth the subscription.

As someone who has analyzed hundreds of directories for BLD Score rankings, I can confirm this directory maintains strong NAP consistency and schema implementation. The key differentiator here is their indexation speed - typically 3-5 days faster than competitors. For businesses prioritizing Entity-Based SEO, this should be in your top tier citation stack.
