-

The only SEO plugin that scores your business — locally and on every page
Publisher plugins weren't built for local businesses
Yoast and Rank Math optimize pages. Local businesses need schema, GBP, and NAP aligned — without paying for a publishing suite.
Local SEO bolted on as an add-on
Generic SEO plugins are built for publishers and ecommerce catalogs. Local businesses stack Yoast or Rank Math + local plugins + redirects — and still miss NAP/GBP alignment.
- Local features cost extra or need another plugin
- No single score for your business
- Maps and GBP live in separate tools
Local Lift — local-first, standalone

Pro Add content SEO, custom breadcrumb titles & links, and multi-location when you need them.

Local SEO without the bloat
Not "the fastest plugin on earth" — the SEO plugin that fits a local business without the weight of a publishing suite. Your visitors get schema and meta, not a slow site.
What publisher suites pile on
- Features built for newsrooms and ecommerce catalogs
- Extra database tables, cron jobs, and admin screens
- Local SEO sold as a separate add-on or integration
- Maps and redirects often need more plugins
What Local Lift keeps lean
- Local-first: only what a service-area business needs
- Complete local stack free — no companion plugins
- Front-end output focused: schema, meta, blocks
- Pro adds content SEO when you actually need it
No custom database tables
Uses WordPress options and post meta — bounded caches, nothing proprietary cluttering your database.
Front-end focused output
LocalBusiness schema, meta tags, and blocks on the front end — not heavy scripts slowing every page load.
One plugin, not four
Replace Yoast or Rank Math + local add-on + redirect plugin with a single local-first install.
OpenStreetMap — no API key
Contact and map blocks use OSM + Leaflet on customer sites. No Google Maps billing surprise.
Start free. Upgrade when you need more.
No paywall on local essentials. Pro is an expansion path — not a requirement to rank locally.
