LocalRank

What This Skill Does

The LocalRank skill serves as an essential companion for local SEO professionals and agencies. It bridges the gap between raw Google Business Profile data and actionable business intelligence. By integrating directly into your workflow, it enables you to monitor geographic ranking grids, perform automated SEO audits, and track the health of multiple client portfolios from a single interface. It is designed to minimize the manual overhead of reporting, allowing you to focus on high-impact optimization tasks such as LocalBoost citation building and AI-powered SuperBoost strategies.

Installation

To install this skill, use the ClawHub command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/peterw/localrank-agent-skills. Once installed, initialization is required to connect your account. Run the setup command located in the scripts folder: <skill-path>/scripts/localrank.js setup. This interactive script will securely store your API key from app.localrank.so. Ensure you have Node.js 18 or higher installed on your system, as the skill leverages native fetch for API communications. For teams, you can also set the LOCALRANK_API_KEY as a system environment variable for seamless cross-environment deployment.

Use Cases

• Client Reporting: Automatically generate summary performance reports for entire portfolios during end-of-month reviews.
• Churn Mitigation: Proactively identify at-risk clients by monitoring ranking fluctuations and audit scores, allowing for early intervention.
• Strategy Planning: Use the daily prioritization tool to identify which client needs immediate attention based on recent rank tracking data.
• Competitive Audits: Run comprehensive audits on new leads to highlight optimization opportunities and justify potential service proposals.

Example Prompts

1. "Check the current ranking grid for Acme Plumbing and generate a list of the top 3 keywords where they have dropped positions."
2. "I have some extra time today. Which of my clients currently has the most 'quick wins' available to improve their local presence?"
3. "Run a full SEO audit for my client at 123 Main St and draft an email explaining the top 3 recommendations to improve their Google Business Profile."

Tips & Limitations

• Freshness: Always check the last-updated date in the documentation. If it exceeds 30 days, run npx skills update or your relevant package manager command to ensure you have the latest API compatibility.
• API Key Security: Never hardcode your API key in scripts. Always use the interactive setup or secure environment variables to protect your credentials.
• Execution Limits: While powerful, large-scale audit requests may consume significant API quotas; prioritize auditing high-value or at-risk accounts first to manage your account bandwidth effectively.
