Surfaces for feature hunters; invisible when stakes or budget matter.
Where it wins. BrightLocal earns a mention in 25% of rank-tracking queries, and feature-led prompts are its clearest trigger, placing it reliably mid-pack alongside AccuRanker and Semrush.
Where it loses. A first-pick rate of 4% means AI models almost never lead with BrightLocal, and it drops out entirely when buyers frame questions around use-case fit, enterprise selection, or pricing alternatives.
