Which one fits you?
Paige may suit you if you want software to handle posts, review replies, social posts, videos and a website for you, and you're fine connecting your Google account. It's $99/mo per location after a 3-day trial. Citations are an extra $40/mo add-on.
Localo may suit you if you like to do the work yourself with a tool that gives you weekly tasks, tracks your position on a map and builds a website from your profile. It has the lowest listed price of the three if you pay yearly, and you can start 14 days free without a card.
MapPackCrew may suit you if you'd rather not hand over access to your Google profile or learn new software. Once a week you get an email with 3 posts, review-reply drafts and your review link with a QR code, written for plumbers. It takes about 10 minutes to paste in. You can start with a free Maps audit that shows where you rank across your area.

Common questions
Is MapPackCrew software like Paige or Localo?
No. It's a done-for-you weekly kit by email. You don't log in to anything, and we don't touch your profile.
Which is cheapest?
By listed price, Localo's Single Business plan is $39/mo when billed annually (+VAT). Paige and MapPackCrew are both $99/mo. What fits best depends on whether you want software or a ready-to-paste kit.
Do any of them guarantee rankings?
MapPackCrew doesn't, and nobody can honestly guarantee Google rankings. Paige's own site says rankings, calls and AI recommendations are not guaranteed.
Do I need to give MapPackCrew my Google password or manager access?
No. The audit uses public Google Maps results, and the kit is text you paste in yourself.
