What Local Search Grid scans cost
EmbedMyReviews is $99/month flat, however many scans you run. Every scan runs on your own DataForSEO account, at DataForSEO's own rates.
DataForSEO lists Google Maps results at $0.0006 per results page in its standard queue, as of October 2026. The Local Search Grid asks for the top 20 results at each pin, so one pin for one keyword is one page.
That puts a 91-point "5x5" scan at about $0.055 per keyword, or $0.60 per 1,000 points.
DataForSEO's minimum payment is $50. The map itself is drawn with your own Google Maps key, under Google's pricing.
The same grid points, side by side
| Grid points a month | Local Falcon | EmbedMyReviews |
|---|---|---|
| 7,500 | $24.99 (Starter) | $99 + about $4.50 |
| 15,150 | $49.99 (Basic) | $99 + about $9.09 |
| 31,250 | $99.99 (Pro) | $99 + about $18.75 |
| 63,150 | $199.99 (Premium) | $99 + about $37.89 |
| 157,000 | $499 (Enterprise) | $99 + about $94.20 |
| Your logo on grid reports | Premium, $199.99/month | Included |
For rank tracking alone, Local Falcon costs less up to about 31,000 points a month. Above that, or once reports carry your logo, EmbedMyReviews costs less at every volume here, and the same $99 runs reviews, Google posts, Search AI and Sales Intelligence.
Local Falcon: its monthly plan price for that many credits, October 2026. Its credits also pay for AI visibility scans and Falcon AI reports. EmbedMyReviews: the $99 plan plus DataForSEO's standard-queue price of $0.0006 per point, per keyword. Google Maps and AI key usage is billed by those providers.
Geo-grid scans compared
Both tools check rankings at many points around a business, and both read the top 20 results at each pin. The layout is where they differ.
Local Falcon: a square grid
- Rows and columns of pins: a 5x5 is 25 points
- Ten sizes, from 3x3 (9 points) to 21x21 (441)
- Radius 0.1 to 100 miles or km, centre to outer pins
- Google Maps, Apple Maps and five AI platforms
Local Search Grid: rings of pins
- A centre pin plus rings: a "5x5" is 91 points
- Every pin in a ring sits the same distance out
- Seven sizes, from 37 to 721 points
- Outer radius 0.1 to 20 km or miles
So compare grids by point count, not by name. A Local Falcon 9x9 is 81 points. A Local Search Grid "5x5" is 91.
Read why a 5x5 Local Search Grid scans 91 points, or the scan points and grid math guide in the docs.
The Local Search Grid reads mobile Google Maps results through DataForSEO, in your agency's language. It works for businesses with a storefront and for service-area businesses.
AI visibility: Search AI and Local Falcon
Local Falcon tracks ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode and Grok. It asks the same prompt at every grid point, 9 to 441 samples, and reports Share of AI Voice, a Buyer Persuasion Score from -10 to +10 and the sources the AI used. These scans use credits, like map scans.
Search AI is the AI visibility tracker in EmbedMyReviews. Each week it asks ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity six questions customers ask, twice each, with live web search. It scores how often the business is named from 0 to 100, compares up to five competitors you choose and lists the domains the answers cite.
It runs on your own OpenRouter key, and its results can go into a client's scheduled PDF reports. See how Search AI tracks AI visibility.
