Does Local Falcon offer a free trial?
Yes! You get 100 free credits when you create an account.
What happened to "pay-as-you-go" pricing?
As-needed pricing is still available upon creating an account and logging into the portal, but we think you'll find the cost of our packages much more affordable than purchasing individual credits. Create an account today to learn more.
What is a credit?
A credit in Local Falcon is defined as one data point, often referred to as a "map pin," used on the geo-grid during a scan. To put it simply, if you conduct a 5x5 grid scan, this grid will utilize 25 credits from your account, as each point on the grid represents one credit.
How many Local Falcon credits will I need?
There are six variables to keep in-mind when planning your credit usage:
+ Grid size (for example, a 9x9 grid is 81 credits).
+ Number of keywords you plan to scan (the average user typically starts scanning about 10 keywords).
+ Number of listings you want to scan (keep in-mind you may also want to schedule dedicated scans for your competitors).
+ Whether or not you would like to use Falcon AI for scan report analysis and recommendations (the average user adds Falcon AI on their listing scans, but not on competitors).
+ The platforms you plan to track your rank on (Google and Apple).
+ The frequency of how often you want to run your scans (we recommend either weekly, or bi-weekly to get a good trend analysis).
Once you've determined what makes the most sense, take a look at the packages, above. Keep in-mind you may want to leave some extra room for experiments and one-off scans as well :)
Another helpful tool for keeping an eye on credits as you schedule Campaigns and Scheduled Scans, is Local Falcon's Credit Explorer; a usage estimator that is available in your account.
