If your RFP is really about business listing management (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. Start on the BLM homepage or read what is business listing management for the category definition.
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.

- 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.
