Guide: AI & Automation

How to use LocalSEOData if you're building AI agents, automations, or using tools like Claude, ChatGPT, or Make/Zapier.

For Claude Users (MCP)

The most powerful way to use LocalSEOData with AI is through Claude's MCP server. This gives Claude direct access to all 40+ endpoints.

What Claude can do with LocalSEOData:

  • Run comprehensive local SEO audits from a single prompt
  • Analyze competitors and explain gaps in plain English
  • Interpret geogrid data and identify geographic weaknesses
  • Write client-ready reports from raw data
  • Chain multiple endpoints together for deep analysis
  • Answer questions like "What should I focus on first?"

Example prompts:

  • "Audit Joe's Pizza in Brooklyn and write a 3-paragraph summary"
  • "Compare my client's business to the top 5 competitors for 'dentist' in Austin"
  • "Run a geogrid scan and tell me which neighborhoods I need to focus on"
  • "Check my AI visibility — is ChatGPT recommending my business?"

For AI Agent Builders

If you're building AI agents that need local business data:

  • All endpoints are standard REST/JSON — easy to integrate
  • Responses are structured and consistent across all endpoints
  • The Local Audit endpoint returns everything a general-purpose agent needs in one call
  • Low cost per call means agents can run many checks without budget concerns

Recommended agent patterns:

  1. "Business Analyzer" agent: Local Audit → Competitor Gap → Recommendations
  2. "Reputation Monitor" agent: Multi-Platform Reviews → Review Velocity → Alerts
  3. "Rank Tracker" agent: Geogrid Scan weekly → Compare to previous → Report changes
  4. "Keyword Scout" agent: Keyword Suggestions → Search Volume → Keyword Opportunities

For Make / Zapier / n8n Automations

All endpoints are standard HTTP POST/GET with JSON. You can use them in any automation platform:

  1. Set up an HTTP module/action
  2. Set the URL to the endpoint (e.g., https://api.localseodata.com/v1/audit/local)
  3. Add your Authorization header: Bearer sk_live_your_key
  4. Send your parameters as JSON in the body
  5. Parse the JSON response

Example automation: "Every Monday, run a Local Pack check for my business and send me the results in Slack."

For ChatGPT Users

ChatGPT doesn't have MCP support, but you can:

  1. Use the Dashboard or API to get data
  2. Copy the JSON response
  3. Paste it into ChatGPT and ask for analysis

Or build a Custom GPT that makes API calls to LocalSEOData endpoints.
