Switching from BrightLocal to Citewatch is mostly a matter of following the same three steps every OneTimeSuite app uses — buy once, deploy or install, bring your workflow over.
Step 1: Buy once on Whop
One payment of $34 gets the packaged Windows installer, or clone the MIT source at github.com/bensblueprints/local-seo-citation-tracker-mvp and run it yourself for free.
Step 2: Deploy or run desktop
Docker-compose onto a $5 VPS to run it public, or run the desktop build locally with data in your user profile.
Step 3: Set your NAP and audit
Enter your canonical name, address and phone, then work the directory list pasting what each one shows to see exactly what drifted.
What to expect during the switch
Citewatch covers the same core workflow as BrightLocal, so most people are productive within the first session — see the full feature list and FAQ on the product page before you commit.
Why make the switch at all
BrightLocal runs $39-59/mo, forever. Citewatch is $34, once. At $468 a year for BrightLocal, Citewatch pays for itself in about 27 days.
