You hand it to clients. It wears your name.
Locale Score grades how a local business looks to its customers and to AI — one number, one letter grade, and the record underneath it. It’s built to be resold by the people who serve local businesses. Your clients see your brand, your address, your voice. Ours stays out of the way.
The ring is the scale your clients learn once: red at the top, electric green only at a perfect 100, and every grade stops at its own score — measured, never rounded.

What you’re actually reselling
Every claim on this page carries its build status, the same way every report carries what was measured. What’s live says so. What’s building says that.
Your brand on every page
In the pilotReports live at yourclient.youragency.localescore.com — the client’s name first, your name on the house. Your logo, your colors, your note to your client at the top. The only trace of us is one discreet line: Powered by Noctua.
The door, on your own site
Building nowThe scan form embeds on your site, in your brand. A prospect types their business name and gets found — then gets a finding, not a form: the phone number that doesn’t match, the profile that isn’t there. When the pair confirms, the lead that reaches you is a verified business. When it can’t confirm, the score still runs — marked not verified, never passed off as confirmed — so you see the prospect either way, labeled honestly.
The bill that explains itself
In the designThe monthly statement is the bill and the score in one document: this month’s number against last month’s, the fixes completed — with proof — and what gets fixed next. Where a number can’t be honestly measured, the statement prints nothing. It’s the page that answers “what did my money do?” before your client asks.
Present it, don’t mail it
In the designOne click turns a report into a presentation you walk a client through live — the verdict, the letters, the fix list, and your booking link on the last slide. Paper gets filed. A walked-through score closes.
The client keeps their score
In the pilotIf a client ever changes agencies, their page, their score, and their history continue — the record belongs to the client, not to whoever serviced them last. That’s the product’s rule, designed in from the start. It’s why businesses can trust the record, and why the record is worth keeping. And it isn’t a promise from a slide: the agency-exit handover is drilled before launch, and re-drilled on a schedule, as part of the pilot’s own rules.
No credit meter on your prospects
In the pilotFront-door scans aren’t rationed like report credits. What you use is recorded per agency from your first client, in the same shape it will keep — so the pilot’s numbers are real usage, not a trial’s fiction, and the pricing conversation later starts from evidence.
Established agency? Take the tools flat — one monthly price, and no percentage of your revenue, ever. The working figure is $299/mo, labeled plainly as what it is: pilot-stage and unproven, set with the first cohort. Charge your clients what you charge; that’s your business, literally. Two different doors, not two prices for one thing: the $49 pilot is how new partners start; the $299 tools rate is for established agencies who want the instruments with no revenue share, ever.
The honesty rule runs here too: the grade only counts what was actually checked, and this page only claims what’s actually built. Our own agency’s score is published on the owner’s page, leaks and all — the same instrument, the same standard.
A second door — not open yet
Not an agency? A second way in is being built: the Locale Ambassador. We supply the engine, the presentation, and the billing; a local person supplies their town and their name.
Not open yetThe design is published. The door is closed. Both of those are on purpose.
How it will work, as designed: an Ambassador is set up once, properly, before they serve anyone. Referrals are paid on activation — a real client, live — never on a click or a signup form. There are no exclusive territories to buy; a town is served by whoever serves it well. Each client has exactly one servicer of record, so nobody fights over a business. And an Ambassador’s standing is rated on proof events — scores run, records kept, clients retained — never on testimonials.
There is nothing to sign up for today, and we won’t pretend otherwise. When the door opens, it opens here.
The Partner Pilot
Everything above this line is free to read. This is the only part that costs anything, and it comes last on purpose. Locale Score is built by SageSEM, a search marketing agency, on the Noctua engine — in its pilot: the grade is live, the record is being built with our first agencies.
Partner Pilot
The pilot puts your agency live on Locale Score — your own address, your brand on every report, and a monthly allowance of scores to prospect with — while the pricing gets proven with the first group of agencies instead of guessed at.
The pilot is run by hand at this stage — writing to us is the way in.
$49 is a pilot figure, not a settled price — it changes when the first cohort’s results say so, and pilot agencies hear it from us before it happens. Two different doors, not two prices for one thing: the $49 pilot is how new partners start; the $299 tools rate is for established agencies who want the instruments with no revenue share, ever. No ranking promises, here or anywhere on this page: the score measures what is set up and what can be checked. Nothing else.
