Last updated on 7/24/2024, 4:25 PM

Connecting the Google Account you use to manage your business locations on Google is the most efficient way to use Local Falcon and get the most out of all its features.

Once you connect your Google Account to your Local Falcon account, you'll be able to quickly import all of your business locations and start running Local Falcon Scans to get different Local Rank Tracking data for each of them. You'll also have access to additional features and functionality within Local Falcon.
