Where Local Viking falls short

01

Legacy interface

Local Viking's dashboard has remained largely unchanged and feels built for a different era. Geogrid's UI is dark-mode first with live scan updates, inline maps, and an agency-ready layout.

02

No AI analysis layer

You get raw rank data but no guidance on what to do with it. Geogrid runs an AI pass (Claude Haiku) on every scan, highlighting weak zones and suggesting priorities.

03

Client reporting is PDF-centric

Local Viking's sharing model leans on exports. Geogrid ships branded client portals at a token URL — zero logins, live data, your agency branding.
