If your RFP is really about NAP consistency, duplicate suppression, and publisher coverage, you do not automatically need Local Grid heatmaps, review AI add-ons, and social calendars in the same seat. Moz Local's own materials describe that broader local SEO surface. BLM does not pretend to match it.
BLM starts with a workspace and public pricing. Starter unlocks after you sign in. Growth is listed at $149/month for 25 locations when billing goes live. Enterprise is for unlimited locations, agency structure, and SSO. Moz Local publishes Lite, Preferred, and Elite per location (from $20/month monthly or $16/month billed yearly on Lite), with Listings AI and Reviews AI as add-ons on some tiers, and custom Enterprise for 50-plus locations.
Where Moz Local is stronger
- Auto-sync listings across search, directories, social, apps, and aggregators, with listing health monitoring.
- Local Grid for local map-pack ranking and competitor context Moz describes as hyper-local.
- Review monitoring on Lite, with responding, sentiment, and AI add-ons on higher plans.
- Social posting, content libraries, and reporting suites on Preferred and Elite packages.
Where BLM is weaker (honest)
- No Local Grid, no map-pack rank heatmaps, no SERP competitor charts.
- No review response inbox, no social calendar, no Listings AI or Reviews AI add-ons.
- Narrower publisher story than Moz Local's 90-plus directories claim. BLM covers Google, Apple, Bing, and the directory network as the desk job.
- Early access: no promised one-click publisher cutover the day you leave an incumbent.
| Job | Moz Local | BLM |

- Is BLM a full Moz Local replacement?
- No. BLM focuses on listing health: NAP, coverage, duplicates, and hours across Google, Apple, Bing, and the directory network. Moz Local is an all-in-one local SEO suite with directory sync, Local Grid map-pack ranking, review workflows, and social posting on higher plans. If you need Local Grid and social in the same seat, stay on Moz Local.
- Where does Moz Local still win?
- Published per-location plans (Lite, Preferred, Elite), 90-plus listing directories on the product page, Local Grid for local map-pack ranking, review monitoring on Lite and responding on Preferred-plus, plus social posting and reporting on higher tiers. Enterprise is custom for 50-plus locations. That toolkit fits teams buying local SEO and listings together.
- Can we migrate off Moz Local?
- Export locations, run the BLM auditor, then open a Growth or Enterprise workspace. We do not promise a one-click publisher cutover on day one of early access. Confirm live publisher status yourself before you cancel any incumbent contract.
