Software for checking local listings?
-
Is there any software that you can enter in the name of a company, phone number, address, or website URL and get back a list of all the local search terms they are on the first page for?

Hi Chase,
Linda has given you very good information here. I also recommend that you check out 51 Blocks' competitive analysis tool: http://www.51blocks.com/online-marketing-tools/free-local-analysis/
Though not, per se, a ranking tool, it provides a great deal of free insight into why certain businesses are achieving certain rankings.

Hi Chase,
BrightLocal and Places Scout are the 2 best known rank trackers for local. But none of them, including Authority Labs do it the way you want to do it.
With them all you enter the KWs you want to track and it will report on the rankings. None of them find all the existing KWs you rank for.
I only know of one tool and it's free that will go out and FIND whatever variety of KWs a site is already ranking for. Again it's free, so not totally reliable and only works if the tool has already picked up the site.
But it's a very cool and relatively unknown tool I discovered and posted an in-depth overview about recently that demonstrates how it could be used for local search. The tool is savedhistory.net. May need to dig around to uncover the power of it. I had to play with it quite a bit for my post, to get to the meat of the features that are cool for local KW ranking and research. Here's the site I used in my example so you can go right in and see what it does without digging. http://savedwebhistory.com/d/90210dentist.net
Again it's free, not pretty and not comprehensive - but can be useful for the situations I cited. Pre-consult, new potential client, to see what they may already be ranking for. OR for KW discovery to find out what other KWs competitors in that industry rank for.

Authority labs checks keyword rankings (keywords that you define) at the domain level, and reports if the SERPS are displaying local listing for that particular keyword.

How to track ranking in local area?
When I track a keyword ranking with the Ranking Tool, are the results for my geographic area? So, how would I track a keyword in another location? As in, another state? Thanks,

Quote "There is no SEO software that can help optimize a site"
Hi all I am a developer for a small agency in the UK. I am using SEOmoz for a couple of our clients and I am also using it to learn from. So far I am finding it a great tool and this forum is also incredibly helpful. Now I also visit another forum called HighRankings.com and this months newsletter is a list of points that are defined as "SEO Mistakes". In it, point number 2 reads: "Repeat after me: There is no specific number of times a keyword phrase should be used in my content. There is no magic number of words that my pages should have written on them. And there is no best number of words or phrases that belong in a Title tag. And most of all: There is no SEO software that can optimize my website (despite the claims of their creators). Use your common sense to optimize your site! Learn how your target audience searches for products, services and information such as yours, and write about it accordingly on your website. Then write to make an emotional connection with your visitors so that they'll convert into happy customers." Now as a user of SEOmoz I wondered what others thought of this comment? Many thanks for reading. Kris

Batch lookup domain authority on list of URL's?
I found this site the describes how to use excel to batch lookup url's using seomoz api. The only problem is the seomoz api times out and returns 1 if I try dragging the formula down the cells which leaves me copying, waiting 5 seconds and copying again. This is basically as slow as manually looking up each url. Does anyone know a workaround?

Rankings csv export doesn't show local rank
Is there a way to enable this in the settings somewhere? or is this simply not an available feature yet? Would be really great if there was an extra column in the report that shows local rank, as 93 of our top 100 keywords we track are all blended search results and a lot of the time this shows really inaccurate results because of this.

Localize Web App
Is there a way to "localize the web app"? In other words, get ranking results based on a location? I pecked around the forum and documentation but couldn't find anything. Any plans to move in this direction? I'm getting wildly different results based on browser location settings. Any thoughts are welcome.

Tracking Local Keywords in Campaigns.
When selecting keywords to track in campaign mode, how should I enter the keywords for a company located in a city that shares the same name as another city in a different state? My assumption is that if you're searching for "Garden City Plumber" within Garden City Michigan that Google will know your IP and show local results (as opposed to results from Garden City California). If I want to track the key phrase "Garden City Plumber" in campaign mode how will SEOMoz know which city to deliver results for? Thanks in advance.
