    Why one number lies

    Your rank changes from one street to the next

    A single "you rank #6" hides the reality: you might be #1 next to your storefront and invisible three blocks away. Averages average away the exact information you need to grow. A geo grid shows the whole map, so you can see your strong zones, your dead zones, and the competitors filling them.

    • Spot the exact blocks where you drop out of the map pack
    • Find the near-misses (#4 to #7) that a small push turns into top-3
    • Prove your local SEO is working with a number that moves

    Colour-coded geo-grid rank map for a local business on Google Maps
    Local rank checker heatmap

    What the heatmap shows

    Most local rank checkers search once, from one spot, and give you one number. Grid Ranker searches your keyword from every point on a grid around the business and colours each point by your position in the Google Maps results there. The result is a heatmap of your local rankings across the whole area.

    • Green: You are in the top 3 at that point, where most map clicks go. Light green is 4 or 5.
    • Yellow: Positions 6 to 10. These near-misses are usually the cheapest ground to win.
    • Orange and red: Positions 11 to 20. A competitor holds the map here.
    • Grey: Not in the top 20 at all. Searchers at that point do not see you.

    Any business, no connection needed

    Track any business on Google Maps, without connecting Google.

    Yours, a client's or a competitor's. Type the business name or paste its Google Maps link and run a map scan. There is no Google account to connect and no access to ask anyone for.

    It works for service-area businesses too. Those are businesses that go to their customers, such as plumbers and cleaners, and hide their address on Google. Paste the Maps link and we find the exact listing.

    • Check a prospect before the first sales call.
    • See a competitor's map, street by street.
    • Connect Google later, only when you want us to look after the profile.

    Seven minutes, a real business, no editing tricks: building the grid, scheduling re-scans, and the side by side competitor view.

    How it works

    Track your map rankings in four steps

    From first scan to automatic weekly tracking. No spreadsheets, no guesswork.

    1
    Set up your scan

    Pick your business straight from Google Maps, add up to 5 keywords, and shape the grid: square or round, 3x3 to 13x13, sized in km or miles.

    Step 1: Set up your scan
    2
    Read your rank map

    Every dot is a real local-pack search at that spot. Flip between keywords and check Head-to-Head competitors, AI insights and the full field.

    Step 2: Read your rank map
    3
    Schedule it

    One click turns any scan into a daily, weekly or monthly tracker, with an email report every time a run finishes.

    Step 3: Schedule it
    4
    Watch the trend

    Scheduled scans collect history: average-rank trends, run-versus-run comparison, and a rankings report across every keyword you track.

    Step 4: Watch the trend

    Your rank at every block, not one average

    Drop a grid over your service area and see your real Google Maps position at every point. Colour-coded pins make the pattern obvious at a glance: green where you win, red where you are invisible. The panel gives you Share of Local Voice, average rank, top-3 coverage and the full rank distribution.

    • Live Google local-pack data at every point
    • Share of Local Voice, avg rank, top-3 and visibility %
    • Square or round grids from 3x3 up to 13x13

    See exactly who is beating you, and where

    Every scan maps the competitors ranking around you, plots their real locations, and ranks them by how much of your grid they cover. Head-to-Head lets you switch to any rival and see the map from their side, so you know who to target block by block.

    An AI action plan, not just a dashboard

    Every scan comes with a plain-English executive summary and a prioritized action plan tied to your actual numbers, the exact zones you are weak in, and the specific competitors ahead of you. No vague advice, and it never invents a problem you do not have.

    • Executive summary written from your real data
    • Prioritized fixes ranked by impact
    • AI summaries included

    Beat the specific rivals ahead of you

    Line your profile up against any competitor in the scan: their coverage, average rank, rating and review count, side by side. Switch the map to their view and the winnable blocks light up, so your next move is obvious instead of a guess.

    Total control over your grid

    Square or round, 3x3 to 13x13, sized in kilometres or miles. Drag the whole grid anywhere your customers are, move individual points, skip dead zones, or add extra checks exactly where you need them. Bigger grids cover a wider service area, all the way to 169 points.

    • Square or round grids, up to 13x13 (169 points)
    • Drag, resize, re-center and fine-tune every point
    • Set coverage by point spacing or total radius
