Local SEO and reviews

Nearby Now review

Local SEO for contractors built on check ins from the job site, with review requests attached.

Written by the team at FiveStariz, who sell a competing product. Every number here was read on nearbynow.co on 18 October 2026. We say where they beat us.

The short answer. An unusual product that is really about local SEO. Technicians check in at the job, which creates location pages and local signals, and the review ask rides along with it. Priced like an SEO service rather than a review tool.
Price$155 a month
Best forA contractor who wants local SEO content generated from real jobs.
Not forA business that only wants customers asked for reviews.

Self serve SEO Pro. The Master tier is $239 a month. An agency supported version is priced by your agency. Prices change, so check nearbynow.co before you decide.

The bill

What Nearby Now charges

From their own pricing page on 18 October 2026.

PlanPriceWhat it covers
Self serve SEO Pro$155Per month.
Self serve SEO Master$239Per month.
Agency supportedCustomPriced by your agency.

On top of the plan, their page lists these:

Premium API$99 a month
Dispatch software integrations$100 to $125 a month

Ours, for the same job: $19 for 1 location, $29 with a team, $5 per location from 10 with your own brand on it.

What Nearby Now does well

  • The check in idea produces real local SEO content from work you already did.
  • No setup cost and month to month, which they state plainly.
  • A 14 day free trial with no card needed.
  • Dispatch integrations exist, even if they cost extra.

Where it falls short

  • $155 a month is 8 times our Solo plan, because you are buying SEO and not review requests.
  • Integrations with your dispatch software cost another $100 to $125 a month.
  • The geo grid add on has no published price.
  • No gating language and no denial either, so their routing is unclear.
  • No currency code published.

Questions

Nearby Now, answered

How much is Nearby Now?

Self serve SEO Pro is $155 a month and SEO Master is $239. Add ons include a Premium API at $99 a month and dispatch integrations at $100 to $125 a month. We read these on their pricing page on 18 October 2026. Note the bare domain path returns an error, so use the www address.

Is Nearby Now a review tool?

Partly. The product is local SEO built on technician check ins, and review requests come with it. If reviews are your only problem, you are paying for a lot of SEO machinery to get them.

What is a cheaper Nearby Now alternative?

For the review asking alone we are $19 a month. We do not generate location pages from check ins, which is their real product. A contractor who wants both would be comparing $155 against $19 plus whatever they spend on SEO elsewhere.

Want the asking done for less?

FiveStariz is $19 a month, the price is on the page, and there is no setup fee.
