Guide: AI & Automation

How to use Local SEO Data 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 Local SEO Data with AI is through Claude's MCP server. This gives Claude direct access to all 41 endpoints.

What Claude can do with Local SEO Data:

  • 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 Local SEO Data endpoints.
