Changelog

New updates and improvements to LocusPilot.

Topical Research

  • Topical Research (New) - Before your site is built, a dedicated research pass decides which pages deserve to exist, why, and how they connect. Every page has a role in your customer's decision journey, not random keyword pages.
  • Buyer-journey mapping - Each priority service gets pages covering the full path from "what is it?" to "who should I hire?": cost, comparison, concern, process, and decision-stage angles. No generic "10 ways to choose X" filler.
  • Deeper clusters by default - Every project now ships with a more complete support-page map backing each priority service. No flag to enable, built into the default generation pipeline.

Scale Your Business with Satellite Sites & Rebrand

  • Satellite Sites (New) - Expand your brand to new cities without building from scratch. Launch a city-specific satellite site from any completed project for just 10 credits - that's 75% less than creating a new site. Each satellite gets its own exact-match domain, fully rewritten content, AI-generated homepage images, local schema markup, and parentOrganization linking back to your hub site. Not programmatic SEO - every page is uniquely generated
  • Clone & Rebrand (New) - Launch a completely new brand in any market for just 20 credits - 50% less than starting from scratch. Clone your proven site and rebrand it with a new business name, team, credentials, content, and SEO targeting. The result is a fully independent website with no visible connection to the original. Perfect for white-labeling, competing under multiple brands, or expanding to new markets
  • AI Town Research - Every satellite and rebrand includes AI-powered research on the target city. Demographics, neighborhoods, local competitors, climate, regulations, and landmarks are automatically researched and woven into the content for authentic local relevance
  • Smart Location Pages - Location pages are intelligently handled during rebrands. Same-city rebrands preserve neighborhood data while fully rewriting content. Different-city rebrands research real neighborhoods via AI and generate location pages from scratch with accurate local data
  • Scale at a Fraction of the Cost - Build one great site, then scale it. A 30-page site costs ~60 credits to build from scratch. Expand that same site to 5 more cities with satellites for just 50 credits total, or launch 2 rebranded sites for 40 credits. One completed project becomes the foundation for an entire network of independent, SEO-optimized websites

AI Site Agent

  • AI Site Agent (New) - Edit your website by chatting in plain English, right from your browser. No software to install, no code to write. Describe what you want changed and the AI edits your site in real time with a live preview side by side
  • Live Preview - See your changes instantly in a split-pane view. Toggle between desktop and mobile previews. The AI knows which page you're viewing and applies changes in context
  • Quick Actions - Pre-built prompt shortcuts for common tasks like updating colors, swapping images, editing text, improving SEO, and more. Browse by category and click to get started
  • Save & Deploy - Save your changes to GitHub at any time, or deploy directly to your live site (Cloudflare pages) with one click. Sessions last up to 1 hour with auto-save reminders
  • Per-Message Billing - You're only charged for what you use. Credit cost depends on the complexity and effort the AI spends on each request. Minimum 3 credits required to start a session

Smart Engine & Pricing Update

  • Smart Generation Engine (New Default) - Choose between two AI engines when creating a project. Smart (default) uses an optimized AI pipeline that saves up to 50% on credits while delivering excellent results. Premium uses the full premium AI model for every phase - best for foreign language websites and large websites
  • Updated Credit Pricing - Smart engine rates: Flux Pro starts at 2 credits/page (first 10) then 1 credit/page (11+). Nano Banana is 2 credits/page throughout. A typical 20-page site (nano-banana) now costs ~40 credits instead of ~70
  • Starter Authority Site - Now $20 - Reduced from $25 with an increased page limit of 15 pages (up from 12). Starter sites use the Smart engine automatically. Both Flux Pro and Nano Banana image models are now available for starter sites
  • More Value Across All Plans - Updated plan estimates to reflect Smart engine pricing. Pay-As-You-Go (50 credits) now builds 2 small websites. Growth plan supports 4 small or 2-3 medium sites per month. Agency and higher plans see similar increases

Branding & Content Customization Controls

  • Business Logo Upload — Upload your own logo during project creation. Choose between "Logo only" (full wordmark) or "Logo + Business Name" (icon beside text). Your logo automatically replaces the AI-generated header icon after website generation
  • Favicon Upload — Upload a custom favicon separately. If you upload a square logo and leave favicon empty, the system generates your favicon from the logo automatically
  • Image Style Preference — Describe the visual style you want for all AI-generated images (e.g., "warm natural lighting with earth tones"). Overrides auto-detected styles from your design reference or niche defaults
  • AI Style Suggestion — Click "Suggest with AI" next to the image style field. The system analyzes your factsheet and design reference to generate a 2-3 sentence style recommendation you can edit before submitting
  • Skip Blog Posts — Choose "Skip" to disable blog post generation entirely, reducing your page count and credit cost. Default is "Auto" where the system decides based on your factsheet
  • Skip Location Pages — Choose "Skip" to disable location/service area page generation entirely
  • Manual Location Entry — New "Manual" mode for location pages. Enter your exact service area names (one per line) and the system generates a page for each one. Useful when the factsheet doesn't list all your service areas or when the AI misses some
  • Rerun Improvements — All new settings (logo, favicon, image style, blog/location preferences, manual locations) are restored when you re-run a project. Reference images from Nano Banana are also preserved

  • Optimization History - Track every optimization with detailed change reports showing exactly what was modified across each pass, total changes, and build status
  • 0.5 Credits Per Page - Deep Optimize costs just 0.5 credits per page. Best used on your homepage, top service pages, and high-competition location pages
