Questions about Panda Managed
Is Panda AI included?
Yes. Every Panda Managed location includes full access to Panda AI, so you can see the work, rankings, and AI Search visibility your account manager is improving.
How is this different from hiring a local SEO agency?
You get the same hands-on work an agency does: our team optimizes your profiles, website, content, citations, and reviews. Because Panda AI does the heavy lifting, we can publish our prices, bill monthly with no long contract, and charge a fraction of a typical agency retainer. You can also see the work live in Panda AI.
How is billing handled?
You pay one monthly price based on your number of locations, and each extra location costs less than the first. There is no annual contract, and you can add or remove locations anytime.
What happens after I sign up?
You give us access to your Google Business Profiles and website and tell us about your services and goals, which takes about 5 minutes. Then you book a kickoff call where your strategist reviews your locations and agrees the 90-day plan with you. Work starts within 2 business days.
Do you work with agencies and multi-location brands?
Yes. Per-location pricing drops as you add locations. If you manage more than 10 locations, book a call and we will quote your exact setup.
