    Lighthouse Local

    freemium
    Updated Oct 2026

    Lighthouse Local monitors how local businesses appear in AI-generated recommendations. Its website describes tracking across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI, with prompt-based checks, competitor monitoring and analysis of the sources cited in answers. Business owners can use the resulting visibility reports and prioritized action plans to investigate why another provider is recommended for a particular question. Agency options add client-oriented monitoring and white-label capabilities. Plans include a fourteen-day trial, then recurring paid access; tracked prompts, sites, competitor counts and history depend on the selected plan. This is a monitoring and improvement workflow, not a guarantee that an assistant will recommend a business. AI responses change with wording, location, time and model behavior, so treat visibility scores as directional observations rather than exact market share. Review the actual citations and follow applicable local-search guidance before changing business content. Agencies should confirm capacity and reporting requirements before purchasing.
