What you keep, what changes.
What you keep
- Your scan history. Local Falcon's help pages describe CSV and PDF downloads of scans, with bulk export once a scan has run at least twice, and a Looker Studio template.
- Your profile metrics. Falcon Guard lets you download Google Business Profile performance metrics as CSV.
- Your reports. Shareable report links and PDFs stay with you as a record of where you started.
What changes
- Grid size. Ours is a 7 by 7 grid around each location, so the picture is smaller than a 21 by 21 scan.
- From watching to doing. The grid now comes with the work: listings kept correct, review requests, posts and replies, each proposed for your approval.
- Your reports. A morning brief every day and a monthly strategy deck, in place of shareable scan reports.
