How it works

Six integrated local SEO tools that work together with your existing ProRank setup.

Locations Manager

Add and manage multiple business locations from one screen. Each location gets its own address, phone, opening hours, and geo coordinates — all stored in WordPress, no external dependency.

  • Unlimited locations with individual address, phone, and coordinates
  • Opening hours with day-by-day scheduling and holiday overrides
  • Geo coordinates auto-fill or manual lat/lng entry
  • Locations available via shortcode or automatic insertion

LocalBusiness Schema

Automatically generates Schema.org LocalBusiness markup for each location. Includes address, geo, opening hours, contact, and area served — all in JSON-LD format.

  • Schema.org LocalBusiness with full PostalAddress and GeoCoordinates
  • OpeningHoursSpecification for each day of the week
  • Multi-area support (areaServed as City array) for service-area businesses
  • Automatic @id linking so Google connects your locations to your Organization

Schema and Settings

Configure site-wide local SEO defaults: business type, primary location, service areas, and schema output preferences. Override per-location when needed.

  • Business type selector (Restaurant, Store, Medical, Professional, etc.)
  • Primary location designation for single-location businesses
  • Service area configuration for businesses without a storefront
  • NAP (Name, Address, Phone) consistency across all schema output

Maps and GBP

Embed Google Maps for each location and connect to Google Business Profile for richer local presence. Display maps via shortcode or widget.

  • Google Maps embed per location with configurable zoom and style
  • Google Business Profile connection guidance and status
  • Maps shortcode for embedding anywhere in your content
  • Directions link generation for each location

KML Sitemaps

Generate KML sitemaps that submit your location data directly to Google. Helps search engines understand your geographic coverage beyond standard XML sitemaps.

  • KML sitemap generation with placemarks for each location
  • Automatic inclusion in your sitemap index
  • Geo coordinates and business details in each placemark
  • Compatible with Google Search Console geographic reporting

Citation Details

Centralise your business citation data so every mention of your business on your site is consistent. Reduces NAP inconsistencies that hurt local rankings.

  • Central store for business name, address, phone, email, and website
  • Consistent output across schema, shortcodes, and widgets
  • Citation audit checks for NAP mismatches across your pages
  • Structured data for multiple contact points (sales, support, billing)
