ProfileBoost vs Whitespark: tools or finished profile work?

Last updated July 2026

Quick answer

Whitespark offers local SEO tools and services around rankings, reviews, and citations. ProfileBoost is narrower: we optimize your Google Business Profile for you at a fixed price, then show you what changed. The right choice depends on whether you want a toolset to manage or a finished profile cleanup.

Citation cleanup is not a separate line item here

Whitespark sells citation and listing cleanup as a separate Listings Service on top of its software subscription. With ProfileBoost, the NAP and citation cleanup is one of the 11 signals we finish inside the flat $399, nothing billed on top and nothing to stay subscribed to.
