Local Rank Grid Tool
Visualize exactly where your business ranks on Google Maps across an entire geographic area. Each pin shows your live ranking from that physical location.
Each grid point queries live Google Maps results from a real GPS coordinate. A 5×5 scan runs 25 location queries, a 7×7 runs 49. Multiple keywords run sequentially.
What is a rank grid?
Google Maps rankings are hyper-local - your business might rank #2 from your front door but not appear at all from a competitor's neighborhood across town. A geo-grid rank tracker queries Google from dozens of GPS coordinates to reveal your true local visibility. This is the same methodology used by paid tools like LocalFalcon, BrightLocal, and Whitespark - built free and powered by live Google Maps SERP data.
How to read your grid
- Green pins (1-3): Map Pack rankings - you appear in the top 3 results.
- Lime (4-10): First page but below the Map Pack.
- Amber (11-20): Second page territory - needs work.
- Red (21+ or X): Not ranking from this location.
Improve weak grid spots
If your grid is dark green near your physical address but turns red at the edges, you need stronger service-area signals, location-specific landing pages, and citations in those underperforming neighborhoods. Use our free GBP audit to find exactly which on-page and profile signals are missing.
