LocalImpact: Buy vs Skip (Agency White-Label Review Ops)
IF your agency manages 5+ client locations and needs white-label review dashboards plus reseller tooling, THEN the Agency plan at $149/mo is the entry point, since Growth ($49/mo) caps at 1 location and Pro ($99/mo) caps at 3 locations with centralized reporting but no white-label layer. IF you only run review collection for one or two single-location clients, THEN start on Growth or Pro and defer Agency until the location count forces the upgrade.

LocalImpact: Buy vs Skip (Agency White-Label Review Ops)
“IF your agency manages 5+ client locations and needs white-label review dashboards plus reseller tooling, THEN the Agency plan at $149/mo is the entry point, since Growth ($49/mo) caps at 1 location and Pro ($99/mo) caps at 3 locations with centralized reporting but no white-label layer.

- Client roster spans 5+ locations across franchises or multi-site local service accounts, which is the threshold the Agency plan's multi-client account management is built for
- Clients need their reviews displayed on their own websites, so the customizable widgets and badges become a deliverable you can bill for rather than a nice-to-have
- Prospects ask for reputation reporting under your agency's brand, making the white-label dashboards and reseller tools on the $149/mo Agency plan a direct sales asset
- Delivery teams are buried in manual review replies and want AI-assisted replies plus email and SMS request sequences to cut hours per client per month
- Clients want competitive context, so competitor benchmarking and reputation insights support the monthly retainer conversation with data instead of opinion
- Your agency needs lead generation or CRM pipeline management from the same tool; LocalImpact's strength is automation depth, not CRM integration, so it will not replace broader client management systems
- Every client operates a single location, where the $49/mo Growth plan covers the work and the $149/mo Agency plan adds white-label cost you cannot recover
- Review volume is low enough that manual responses across Google and Facebook take under an hour a week, leaving no labor savings for the automation to fund
- You require deep customization of the client-facing dashboard beyond what white-label branding provides, since the platform is built for resale speed rather than bespoke builds
- Your stack already includes a white-label reputation platform with review collection and response workflows, making a second consolidation layer redundant for delivery
