Competitor features and pricing based on publicly listed plans at the time of writing — always verify current pricing on their site.
Flat, per-account pricing with no click limits. A plumber spending $1,500/month shouldn't pay enterprise-tool prices to protect it.
The free tools suite — targeting, ad copy, search term cleaning, negative lists, scripts — comes with every plan. Protection plus optimisation, one place.
Need more than protection? We build the whole system — keyword blueprint, AI landing pages, tracking, and management — at prices a local business can actually afford.
