What is Claude Code for Local SEO?
Claude Code for Local SEO is a collection of pre-built SKILL.md files designed for local search optimization. Each skill automates a local SEO workflow: GBP audits, NAP citation checking, map pack rank tracking, review analysis, and local schema generation. You run them with slash commands in your terminal via Anthropic's Claude Code CLI.
Does this work for multi-location businesses?
Yes. The skills support batch execution across multiple locations. Run a GBP audit or citation check for all your locations with a single command. Results are organized per-location for easy comparison and prioritization.
Can it manage my Google Business Profile directly?
Claude Code for Local SEO analyzes and recommends. It does not make direct edits to your GBP listing. It reads profile data, identifies issues, generates optimized descriptions and posts, and exports action items. You apply the changes through the GBP dashboard or API.
How does map pack tracking work?
The map-track skill checks your ranking across a grid of geographic coordinates around your business location. Instead of checking one point, it tests multiple points within your service radius to show where you rank strong and where you drop off. Results display as a heatmap.
Do I need separate tools like BrightLocal or Whitespark?
Claude Code for Local SEO handles audits, citation checks, and review analysis. For building new citations on directories, you may still use submission tools. Claude Code excels at the analysis and strategy layer: finding what's broken, prioritizing fixes, and tracking progress.
What do I need to get started?
A Claude Pro or Max subscription from Anthropic (which includes Claude Code CLI access), a terminal (macOS Terminal, iTerm, Windows Terminal, or VS Code terminal), and the local SEO skills pack installed via npx.
