How Much Does AI-Visibility Management Cost for a Multi-Location or Franchise Business?
CitedLocal Dominance is $1,897/month for 1 to 3 locations, plus a one-time $2,500 onboarding for the bundle, not per location. Four or more locations get a custom quote after a conversation.
The math, plainly
| Locations | Onboarding (one-time) | Monthly |
|---|---|---|
| 1 to 3 | $2,500 total | $1,897 |
| 4 or more | Custom quote after a conversation | |
Onboarding is a one-time cost that covers setup and baseline work for every location in the bundle. Your first month of management is included; the $1,897/month begins on day 31. A single location can choose Visibility at $997/month instead.
Why 1 to 3 locations share one price
Every location is its own Google Business Profile, its own entity to AI, and its own geo-grid — covered in more depth on how AI visibility works across multiple locations. Each one still gets its own audit, fixes and report. The process is the same for one location or fifty. For small groups, one bundle price keeps it simple; past three locations, the right number depends on your markets, so we quote it.
What's included at every location
- Everything in CitedLocal Visibility — daily profile management, website schema synced to the profile, automated review handling, a monthly geo-grid heatmap refreshed every 30 days, AI visibility checked across six assistants, 40+ directories built in your name.
- Monthly listings check — your directory listings reviewed each month, corrections submitted where data has drifted.
- TrustLinks added monthly — new local and social directory listings placed in your name, never bought.
- Full-service managed execution and priority 24-hour support.
- Up to 5 service areas per location.
If you're running four or more locations
Franchises and multi-location groups are assessed individually: how many markets, who owns each Google profile, and which locations to bring on first. That conversation sets the quote. There's no published rate to assume going in.

FAQ
Is the $2,500 onboarding charged per location?
No. It is a one-time onboarding fee for the 1 to 3 location bundle. Each location is still audited, set up and reported on separately.
What if I have four or more locations?
Four or more locations get a custom quote after a conversation. Franchises and multi-location groups are assessed individually, because location count, markets and how profiles are owned all change the work.
Can I start with one location and add more later?
Yes. Dominance covers 1 to 3 locations at the same monthly price, so adding a second or third location within that range does not change the monthly fee.
