What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Moz Local is the strongest default choice because it is consistently described as one of the cheapest credible paid options” Perplexity Sonar · Local listings · budget prompt · first choice
“The best local listings management platform for a company with a limited budget is Moz Local, which starts at $14/month” Llama 4 Maverick · Local listings · budget prompt · first choice
“look for monthly, non-contract tools like BrightLocal or Moz Local, which are a fraction of the cost” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Local listings · negative prompt · first choice
“Best Overall Value: Moz Local ... Lowest-cost paid option with automated distribution to major aggregators” Kimi K2 · Local listings · budget prompt · first choice

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“Moz Local does not cover as many secondary directories as competitors... Acceptable for very simple needs, but insufficient for multi-location” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Local listings · negative prompt · soft negative
“Outdated technology compared to direct-API solutions like Yext; lacks modern engagement features” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Local listings · comparative prompt · soft negative
“too simplistic for multi-location B2B needs (no deep rank tracking or competitor analysis)” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Local listings · paraphrase prompt · soft negative
“Moz Local has a similar aggregator-fed reversion issue noted in comparisons” Muse Glimmer 30B · Local listings · negative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Moz Local. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 127 of the 133 answers that named Moz Local and are not a share of its labels.

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when Moz Local's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as Moz Local, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives

A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for Moz Local by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

  • where Moz Local is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
  • the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
  • its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
  • who was chosen in the answers that did not name Moz Local, and every reason the record gives;
  • a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
  • one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.
The subscriber app

A verification link goes to your work email; an address at the vendor's own domain is approved on the spot, any other is reviewed by hand. Your email is never published. Claiming gives no say over labels, shares, verdicts or which quotes appear.
