WordPress or Local Sites Pro?
Choose WordPress if…
You want full control over one site's code, need a specific plugin such as a store, membership area or booking system, or already have a team and a host that manages WordPress well. Its open source license and large ecosystem let you build almost anything if you have the time.
Choose Local Sites Pro if…
You build local service sites for rank and rent, pay per call or lead gen and want every service and area page generated for you. Sites deploy to your own Cloudflare, so there is no hosting bill per site and no plugins to update. Pages stay editable in the dashboard.

Local Sites Pro vs WordPress questions.
Is Local Sites Pro a WordPress alternative?
For local service sites, yes. It replaces the theme, page building and hosting setup with a generated site on your own Cloudflare. It is not a general-purpose CMS for stores or membership sites.
Can I move my WordPress site into Local Sites Pro?
Local Sites Pro builds each site new from a niche and a city. You can then edit the generated pages, meta tags and images in the dashboard to match your existing content.
Do I need plugins for SEO with Local Sites Pro?
No. Meta tags, schema, internal links and a sitemap are part of the generated site, and Search Console connects in one click.
Is WordPress cheaper for local sites?
The WordPress software has no license fee, but hosting, domains and premium plugins are paid separately. Local Sites Pro costs $119 per year for unlimited sites on Pro, and hosting on your Cloudflare has no fee from us.
Can I export a Local Sites Pro site?
Yes. Pro includes static HTML export, and the sites already live in your own Cloudflare account.
