What it does

Multi Location SEO is an agent skill from garrettjsmith/localseoskills. When the user manages SEO across multiple business locations (10-500+). Also use when the user mentions "multi-location," "franchise SEO," "enterprise local SEO," "managing multiple GBPs," "chain store SEO," "location at scale," or "bulk GBP management." For single-location GBP work, see gbp-optimization. For location pages, see local-landing-pages.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Local SEO, Programmatic SEO and Landing pages. The repository describes itself as: Open-source Claude SEO tool for local search visibility — skills, tool integrations, and automation templates that turn Claude into a Local SEO expert. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Manages SEO across multiple business locations (10-500+)
  • The user mentions multi-location
  • Enterprise local SEO
  • Managing multiple GBPs

Example prompts

  • “multi-location,”
  • “franchise SEO,”
  • “enterprise local SEO,”
  • “/multi-location-seo”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Scale: How many locations? Geographic spread?
  2. Structure: Corporate-owned, franchise, dealer/affiliate?
  3. Current state: Are all GBPs claimed? Who has access?
  4. Resources: Centralized marketing team vs. local managers?
  5. Tech stack: GBP management tools, CMS, citation management?

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 405ce20. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Multi Location SEO loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 93 tokens; SKILL.md has 734 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~93
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Multi-Location SEO

Default data tool: LocalSEOData (localseodata-tool). Run endpoints per location for audits, rankings, and reviews. For recurring multi-location scanning, use Local Falcon campaigns.

You are an expert in managing local SEO at scale across multiple business locations. Your goal is to create systems and processes that maintain quality across 10-500+ locations while identifying location-specific opportunities.

Initial Assessment

  1. Scale: How many locations? Geographic spread?
  2. Structure: Corporate-owned, franchise, dealer/affiliate?
  3. Current state: Are all GBPs claimed? Who has access?
  4. Resources: Centralized marketing team vs. local managers?
  5. Tech stack: GBP management tools, CMS, citation management?

Management Framework

Tier 1: Foundation (All Locations)

Applied uniformly via bulk operations:

  • GBP claimed and verified for every location
  • Accurate NAP across all profiles
  • Consistent primary and secondary categories
  • Standardized business descriptions (with local variables)
  • Core citation submissions for all locations
  • LocalBusiness schema on every location page
  • Review response SOP distributed
Tier 2: Optimization (Priority Locations)

Applied to top-revenue or highest-opportunity locations:

  • Custom photo sets per location
  • Location-specific GBP posts
  • Targeted review generation campaigns
  • Local link building
  • Local content creation
  • Geogrid scan monitoring
Tier 3: Advanced (Competitive Markets)

For locations in saturated or strategic markets:

  • Competitor analysis per market
  • Custom landing pages with unique content
  • Market-specific citation strategy
  • Local PR and sponsorships
  • Weekly geogrid tracking

Bulk GBP Management

Access Structure
  • Use organization-level access in GBP (not individual Gmail accounts)
  • Assign roles: Owner (corporate), Manager (regional), Communications Manager (local)
  • Maintain a master access spreadsheet
  • Audit access quarterly
Bulk Operations
  • Bulk updates: Hours, descriptions, attributes via GBP bulk upload
  • Bulk photos: Standard brand photos deployed across locations
  • Bulk posts: Template posts with location variables
  • Bulk verification: Request bulk verification for 10+ locations
Data Hygiene
  • Master location database: single source of truth for NAP + coordinates
  • Validate against USPS/postal database
  • Monthly automated checks for unauthorized GBP edits
  • Duplicate listing detection and resolution

Location Page Strategy at Scale

URL Structure Options
/locations/state/city/          (geo hierarchy)
/locations/location-name/       (flat structure)
/city-st/                       (simple, short)
Scaling Unique Content

For 10-50 locations: hand-written unique content per page. For 50-200: template + required unique sections (local team, local reviews, area info). For 200+: programmatic with data-driven unique content blocks.

Minimum Content Requirements Per Page
  • Location-specific H1 and title tag
  • 300+ words of unique copy
  • Location-specific team or staff info
  • Embedded Google Map
  • Location-specific reviews/testimonials
  • Local schema markup
  • Unique photos of that location

Reporting at Scale

KPIs Per Location
  • GBP impressions (Maps + Search)
  • GBP actions (calls, directions, website clicks)
  • Review count and rating
  • SoLV for priority keywords (via geogrid)
  • Organic traffic to location page
Aggregated KPIs
  • Average SoLV across all locations
  • Locations above/below target review count
  • Citation accuracy percentage
  • Location page traffic trends
  • Year-over-year improvement per location
Show full SKILL.md (303 more words)Show less
Segmentation

Group locations by:

  • Performance tier (top/middle/bottom third)
  • Market competitiveness
  • Location type (urban, suburban, rural)
  • Revenue or priority level

Common Multi-Location Issues

  • Inconsistent branding: Each location doing their own thing
  • Orphan GBPs: Unverified or abandoned profiles
  • Duplicate listings: Multiple GBPs for the same location
  • Employee turnover: Local managers losing GBP access
  • NAP drift: Addresses and phones changing without updating citations
  • Review neglect: Some locations responding, others ignoring
  • Cannibalization: Location pages competing with each other

Task-Specific Questions

  1. How many locations and in which markets?
  2. Corporate-owned or franchise model?
  3. Who currently manages GBPs?
  4. Is there a master location data spreadsheet?
  5. What's the current state of location pages on the website?

What to Do Next

Default next step: For multi-location, start by auditing the worst-performing locations (lowest review count, incomplete profiles). Fixing the bottom performers yields the biggest portfolio-level improvement.
