       From some fairly full-featured packages

       Clicky (paid, recurring) HaveAMint (paid, one time fee) Woopra
       (paid, recurring) Piwik (free) Google Analytics (free, except
       that you are giving them all sorts of data :D ) For ease of use
       and feature sets I tend to either go with Clicky, Mint or Google
       Analytics. I haven't spent much time with Woopra and I find
       Piwik to not be as intiuitive or as user friendly as the other 3
       I mentioned (which is even more important when the client
       wants/needs access.) Speaking of tracking, you should consider
       getting familiar with a cheap virtual phone number vendor (I
       would recommend phone.com) as well as Google's URL builder for
       tracking potential adverts and media buys down the road (as well
       as offline adverts if you end up servicing that aspect of the
       client's marketing campaign.
       If you use Google Analytics, another cool tool to use is Raven's
       Google Analytics configuration tool I generally recommend
       staying away from tracking numbers because it can screw up your
       Google Places rankings and trust but when I use them I typically
       just make them images on whatever page they are Phone Number

       being listed on and I
       never use them for IYP citations (listings on sites like Yelp,
       Yellowpages, Merchant Circle, etc). Planning Out Link Building
       For local sites, you'll want to attack link building on two
       fronts: 1. External links 2. Citations. Before you get into any
       of the link planning, you should get the client set up in
       KnowEm. KnowEm will help get the client on all the relevant
       social networks and goes a long way in establishing the base for
       the client to control it's branded.

       Searches and branded SERPs. You can choose from a variety of
       packages from basic registration to complete profile set up
       (bio's, pictures, descriptions, etc). Once these profiles are
       built, you can begin building links to them (and link to them
       from the client's site) to further the client's domination of
       their own branded SERPs. For citations, I would recommend using
       Whitespark (we reviewed it here). Whitespark really is an
       essential tool in building citations, tracking citations, and
       doing competitive citation research. Speaking of citations, each
       year David Mihm releases the Local Search Ranking Factors and I
       would highly recommend saving each year's version and refer back
       to it when designing your citation building plan(s). As for
       traditional link building, it's fairly similar to non-local.
