    As I have discussed previously their insights were very useful. The second thing is since it is a Google product you will connect the data very easily from other platforms like Bigquery, Google Drive, etc. and even you can connect Google marketing platform. through this tool, you can track your live campaign how they were performing, and how it will be engaging your customer as well.

    Moz Local is a great alternative as well as a compliment to Yext. The service has a smaller network but is just as powerful. The dashboard is super easy to load your location information into and allows the product to do the work by distributing the data across platforms. Issues are easily identifiable and can easily be corrected. Depending on your service level package, you also can have access to reviews and be able to monitor those as you see fit. I would strongly recommend this service to anyone who has a local business they are looking to get seen across the web. For a larger business, I'd consider a larger company with a bigger network.

    Pros

    • It is an excellent cloud analytics platform that is easy to install and configure and easy to deploy and use, allowing us to measure web traffic and other tools.
    • It is an entirely online tool; it does not take up hard disk space like other desktop tools.
    • Since this tool is draggable, Google is constantly adding more features.
    • Even beginners who do not have a custom dashboard can get information. If there is a problem somewhere on the site that needs to be investigated, Google Analytics 360 will notify you.

    Cons
    Discontinued Products
    • Generally I think there is a lot you can do within the tool, but as it is a Google product it means there is limited support - something which I think lets all of the platform stacks down
    • There could be more visual signifiers to identify if a feature is a normal or 360 feature. This would mean you can really get to grips with what the extra more advanced elements are

    • Expansion of network.
    • Needs to be easier to access, too many clicks within Moz suite.
    • Generally speaking, they are solid.

    Google Analytics 360 is an upgraded version of the most widely used web/app analytics tracking tools in the market. The price is stable and predictable making it a long-term product of choice. It's easy to use and pairs so well with other Google Marketing Platform products.

    Usability
    Discontinued Products
    The UI is very easy to navigate and use. The features are well designed and intuitive. As long as the user has a good understanding of basic digital analytics definitions and capabilities, this tool should be quite easy to use. I consider Google Analytics Premium to be the easiest of all of the enterprise solutions out there to use.

    If you purchase Premium through a reseller like LunaMetrics, you are going to be taken care of. The additional amount of support and services that a reseller provides to make sure you have the best experience with the product is the reason why the reseller program exists to begin with. Support doesn't have to be just reactive, it can be proactive as well.

    There is a ton of information online about Google Analytics, but Google Analytics Premium users will have dedicated support and training from Google or an Authorized Reseller.

    If you already have the basic version of GA installed, "getting" GA Premium happens immediately through a virtual flipping of the switch - no need to re-implement. You'll want to expand your use of custom dimensions and metrics (you get 10x the amount with Premium). Ideally, you'll be using a tag management solution to talk with GA Premium, in concert with implementing a dataLayer (to note, Google's Tag Manager platform is covered under the same GA Premium SLA, and it's free). There are some welcomed "configurations" with GA Premium, such as integrating with DoubleClick products, activating data driven attribution models, and building roll-up executive reports - but all of these are easy point and click solutions. In comparison with any other enterprise analytics solution, implementing GA and GA Premium is traditionally easier and more flexible. And if you have any trouble or need an extra set of hands for implementation, GA Certified Partners like LunaMetrics can help

    Unless you have very complex and edge case analytics needs, Google Analytics [360 (formerly Google Analytics Premium)] is likely going to be the best choice. From both a cost and usability stand point, Google wins. Adobe has the edge case when you need to create really custom reports, dimensions, metrics, etc. In my experience, this is rarely the case and you end up biting off more than you can chew. Stick with Google unless you are or plan on hiring an Adobe Analytics expert.

    Moz is just as good as Yext, the only major difference is the size of the network.

    • It helps me understand which social media platforms are most successful for me - which I should focus on and which I might want to focus less on.
    • I can also see which blog posts people are reading - so I know which topics resonate most. I can write more of those, hopefully gaining more visitors.

    Moz Local Screenshots

    Screenshot of GeoRank, which offers a precise view of how a business and competitors rank in Google’s local search results across different neighborhoods. Because search results change based on a person’s location, traditional rank tracking doesn’t show the full picture. With GeoRank, you can set grids around your service area, track keyword rankings at multiple points, and visualize performance on interactive maps. See where you’re winning, where competitors outrank you, and how your visibility changes over time. GeoRank helps uncover opportunities to strengthen local SEO and expand a brand's reach.Screenshot of Insights in Moz Local, which connect directly with a Google Business Profile to show how customers are finding and engaging with a business. Track key actions like website clicks, direction requests, and phone calls to understand how listing drives leads over time. See which search keywords bring people to a profile, spot trends, and uncover opportunities to improve visibility. Insights offer a deeper look at customer behavior.Screenshot of Listings AI, which helps to keep a business's listings optimized as markets, competitors, and customer behaviors change. By analyzing reviews, engagement signals, keywords, and competitor data, it generates tailored recommendations that follow SEO best practices and align with local search trends. You’ll see suggestions for categories, services, and attributes—each with clear impact metrics—so you know which updates will boost visibility. It is available with Elite plans (or as an add-on for Lite and Preferred).Screenshot of Locations in Moz Local, where users manage and update business details to keep listings accurate and consistent across the web. From one dashboard, you can edit core information like name, address, hours, services, categories, and attributes, as well as upload images and add custom fields. Auto-sync ensures changes are pushed to directories automatically, saving you time and preventing errors. You can also view edit history, set warnings to avoid duplicate content, and group locations for easier management.Screenshot of Networks in Moz Local. which offers a centralized view of all the directories, social platforms, and review sites a business can connect to. From here, you can see which locations are linked, ready to link, or need updates, and quickly manage connections across platforms like Google, Facebook, and Yelp. The Networks table shows linking status and highlights any missing data or issues.Screenshot of Reviews Sentiment in Moz Local, which helps understand how customers feel about a business by analyzing the language used in their reviews. Track sentiment trends over time, see top keywords driving positive or negative feedback, and explore interactive word clouds to quickly spot themes. With color-coded insights and keyword-level detail, you can identify what customers love, uncover areas for improvement, and take action to strengthen your reputation. Sentiment reports can be filtered, shared, or exported, so marketing teams stay aligned on customer feedback and business impact.
