Location Boost
Expand your monitoring reach with Location Boost, an add-on that increases your location limit from 3 to 6 monitored locations.
What is Location Boost?

Key Features
- Additional locations: Increases your limit from 3 to 6 locations total
- Geographic flexibility: Monitor locations across different regions or states
- Independent billing: 90-day term that operates separately from your monthly service
- Grace period protection: Continues working until your service expires if boost expires first
Pricing & Terms
Pricing Details
- Cost: $9 for 90 days
- Billing cycle: Independent of your monthly service renewal
- Duration: 90 days from purchase date (lasts for 3 full service terms)

How Location Boost Works
Activation
When you purchase Location Boost:
- Your location limit immediately increases from 3 to 6
- You can add up to 3 additional locations right away
- All 6 locations begin monitoring simultaneously
- The 90-day countdown starts from your purchase date
Grace Period System
Important Protection Feature
Location Boost includes smart grace period logic:
- If your Location Boost is set to expire before your service, the expiration is extended for the duration of the service term as a courtesy
- If your service expires first, Location Boost stops with your service
- When you renew your service, any active Location Boost automatically works during your renewal term
When to Use Location Boost
Perfect for These Situations
- Multi-metro areas: You live between major cities (like DC/Baltimore, NYC/Philadelphia)
- Broader coverage: You're willing to travel further for an earlier appointment
- Competitive markets: High-demand areas where more options increase your chances
- Flexible travel: You can easily reach appointments in different regions
