About Local Viking GeoGrid[edit | edit source]

Modern SEO companies providing Google Maps optimization need GeoGrid visuals for client reporting. This module allows you embed live, automatically updated GeoGrids right in your client portal, alongside your other reporting assets. Local Viking, a black sheep but a leader in the GeoGrid space, provides an API that allows us to achieve this. Our module lets you embed before/after GeoGrids for your clients that are updated automatically. Local Falcon and Brightlocal do not currently offer an API that allows this. If your goal is to centralize everything in your client portal, Local Viking + AgencyPortal for WHMCS is the way to go. In our experience, LocalViking data is just as accurate and more cost effective than most alternatives.

This setting will add a parent menu to the user account. This setting works in conjunction with the Keyword, Work History, and Google Analytics addons settings. The menu can be added as a child menu under the parent menu (if created in the LocalViking addon setting).

The parent menu can be created either in the LocalViking addon or in the Keyword Rank Tracker addon. The below possible settings can be done:

  1. Add both settings as a parent menu.
  2. Add parent menu from either addon.
  3. Child menu from either (there must be one set as parent menu, and parent labels must be the same).

In case of adding as child menu, the parent menu must be created in the Keywords/Work History/Google Analytics addon settings. If parent menu label doesn't match, a parent menu will be created and then child menu will be added.
