SEOchat vs Paige

Paige is Merchynt's AI local-SEO product. On merchynt.com/pricing, checked November 2026, Paige is $99 a month per Google Business Profile. That includes profile management, recurring Google posts, review replies, and a custom website with hosting. You can approve content or use autopilot. The trial is three days and requires a card. Each profile you add during the trial is billed at $99 when the trial ends.

SEOchat Starter is also $99 a month, but the $99 buys a different pile of work: 15 articles on your business, weekly Google posts, a monthly check of whether an AI assistant recommends you, and a weekly results text. Growth is $179 for 30 articles (about one a day), texted review requests, a weekly AI check, English and Spanish, and refreshes of older articles.

A second location is another $99 on Paige, because billing is per profile. SEOchat's published plans are for one business. A second location needs its own account.

This is the split that matters.

Paige's pricing page says it builds an SEO-oriented website from your Google Business Profile, and that you can keep your current site instead. If you do use theirs, the same FAQ says you cannot export that website, and if you cancel every subscription they remove it from the domain you connected. Keeping only the site is a separate Website Only plan at $20 a month per profile.

SEOchat does not host your website and does not take it with us. Articles are published to the builder you already use, or delivered as a package you can paste. If you cancel, the articles that already went live stay on your site, and the files stay yours. That is the right shape when you already paid for a WordPress site, a Wix site, or a Shopify blog and you do not want a second website.

Paige's product page is honest that you still have to keep hours, services, and photos current, and that it does not guarantee rankings or calls. We don't guarantee those either. The terms describe the only two promises we make: a 30-day refund, and a 90-day promise on Google search clicks with conditions.

Paige's product page describes a wide recurring list: Google posts, review replies, review requests, social posts, short videos, ranking reports, and AI-search visibility. If what you are missing is activity on the profile and a reply under every review, Paige is built for that, and the $99 price matches SEOchat Starter while covering review publishing more directly.

Read the pricing page next to the product page. Citation software, the listings sync across directories, is not inside the $99. It is $40 a month per profile. A business that wants Paige plus citations is at $139 a month for one profile, before Website Only ever enters the picture.

SEOchat's review tools are simpler. Every plan gets a link, a QR code, and templates. Growth sends the request by text. We draft replies and, once Google Business Profile is connected, an approved reply can be posted. We do not sell a citations package, and we do not publish TikTok videos. Weekly profile posts are included in both paid plans.

SEOchat publishes in English, Spanish, or both. “Both” alternates one article at a time, so a Growth month is still about 30 articles, not 60. That matters in Miami, Houston, Los Angeles, San Antonio, and San Juan, where the customer searching at 9 p.m. may be searching in Spanish.

Paige's public pages do not advertise that. They may still produce a post in whatever language you write your facts in. We are not claiming they cannot. We are saying bilingual publishing is a SEOchat feature you can see on the pricing section, and it was not a listed Paige plan feature in November 2026.

The other half of the calendar is the articles themselves. “Emergency electrician in Round Rock” and “what a panel upgrade costs” are website pages. They are how a business shows up in ordinary Google results and in AI answers that cite a page. Paige's strength is the profile and the site it hosts. SEOchat's strength is a stream of specific pages on the site you already own.
