Less than two months ago, we launched the Listing Management tool for Canadian businesses and we are already adding new features for this country! We’re happy to share that premium options Heatmap report and Review Management, already in use in the US, the UK, Germany, France and Australia, are now available for Canadian users. This is the next step in boosting your online visibility!

A close eye on your performance

Taking the right local SEO actions, within a precise strategy, is important, but another thing is crucial: verifying results. That is what the Heatmap report is for. Thanks to this feature, it is possible to analyse how well SEO efforts are paying off and decide if you need to make corrections. In particular, the Heatmap report allows you to:

• Monitor local visibility on Google Maps 
• Keep track of ranking over time
• Check competitors’ ranking for your target keywords

In the Heatmap tab, you can see your ranking against the competition on each grid point of the map. 

Reviews matter

The second premium feature is Review Management. This tool makes it easy to collect reviews from all the directories, and, for those left on Google Business Profile and Facebook, answer directly from Semrush without leaving the page. In addition, you will be able to monitor your review progress and average star rating over time. 

In the Reviews section, you can see the reviews from all online directories and keep track of your progress and average star rating over time. Plus, for the reviews left on Google Business Profile and Facebook, you can reply directly from the tool.

As our recent study shows, the impact of reviews and rating on local SEO is significant. This makesmanaging reviews more important than ever. 

Negative reviews straight to your inbox

Canadian businesses can now also enjoy review alerts. Users will receive a weekly notification with all the negative reviews from the previous week and the option to reply (in the case of only positive comments, no email is sent). 

An example of how the email alert may look in your inbox, showing a collection of the negative reviews.

While to unlock premium features users need to upgrade a location, email alerts are available for anyone who has a Listing Management subscription.
