Local Falcon's "Falcon AI" tool uses your existing Scan Reports to provide AI-powered analysis of your business listings, comparing them to competitors and suggesting ways to troubleshoot and improve your listings to make them more competitive and boost your local ranking scores.
Now enabled on your Local Falcon Account, Falcon AI automatically provides analysis for every Scan Report (default) or opt-out and instead manually instruct the AI tool to analyze past Scan Reports on demand.
The report will tell you which of your local ranking scores (Local Voice, Average Rank Position, and Average Tool Rank Position) need work and provide suggestions for troubleshooting your listing. It will also provide some competitor analysis and suggest ways to optimize your listing to make it more competitive.
Turning Automatic AI Analysis Off or On for All Scans
- Go to your Account Preferences
First, log in to your Local Falcon account. Then, from your dashboard, open up the "Account" drop-down in the left-hand navigation menu and select "Manage Preferences."
- Scroll down to the "Scan Report Preferences" section
This section contains two drop-downs that allow you to set your Falcon AI usage preferences.
- Adjust the AI analysis generation and notification settings
You can choose to automatically generate AI analysis on each scan report or to only do it when you manually request it. Either way, Falcon AI's analysis will appear on your Scan Reports below the screenshot of the scan's grid results.
You can also toggle notifications for AI analysis on and off. If you leave them on, you'll receive a notification every time Local Falcon finishes a new AI analysis of a Scan Report.

- Click the "Generate AI Report" button
The "Generate AI Report" button is in the top right-hand corner of your screen when viewing a Scan Report. It's indicated by a flower-like icon (the name will also appear when you hover your mouse over it.)

If you have notifications turned on, you'll receive a notification when the AI analysis is ready. If not, you can simply refresh the page after a few seconds. - Scroll Down to the "Local Falcon AI Report Analysis" section
After you generate a Falcon AI report, refresh the scan report and a summary of the AI's analysis of your business listing will be added to the scan report, just below the screenshot of the scan's grid results.
