Does BrightLocal run Local Rank Tracker reports using my browser or IP?

No, the Local Rank Tracker (LRT) report is not run through your browser or IP address.

We use a large pool of IPs on proxy servers located in hundreds of towns and cities across the countries where we operate.

The IPs we use are intelligently rotated to prevent detection and blocking by search engines. Your own IP won't be flagged by search engines, and it doesn't consume your personal bandwidth.

This approach also avoids complications of personalization that skew search engine results based on your search history and websites you've visited.
