Geo-Grid Heatmap

Traditional rank trackers give you one misleading average rank (e.g. #3). A Geo-Grid checks rank from 25 to 441 distinct GPS coordinates, revealing you may be #1 right outside your door, but #14 just 2 miles north.

Fix: Eliminates blind spots

Local 3-Pack

The coveted box on Google's search engine results containing exactly three local businesses alongside map pins. The 3-pack captures over 70% of phone calls and high-intent customer clicks.

Goal: Turn all pins green (1–3)

Clear Answers

Questions, answered plainly.

Everything you need to know about geo-grid scans, credits, and accuracy.

What is a geo-grid scan? expand_more
Google shows different results depending on where the searcher is standing. A geo-grid scan checks your ranking from a grid of points across your service area, so instead of one number you get a map: the streets where you come up first, and the ones where you do not appear at all. See how the Google Maps rank tracker works.
How much does a scan cost? expand_more
One credit per grid point. A 5 × 5 grid is 25 credits, a 9 × 9 is 81. You can see the exact cost before you run it, and remove any points outside your service area (e.g., lakes, parks, empty water bodies) to bring it down.
What do I get for free? expand_more
500 scan credits when you create an account, with no credit card required. That covers a huge 21 × 21 scan, or twenty 5 × 5 scans, or anything in between. The free plan tracks one business and three keywords.
Can I see what competitors rank for? expand_more
Yes. Every scan already records the whole local pack at each point, so competitor grids come from the scan you have already run. Opening competitor telemetry costs nothing extra.
Do you work outside the United States? expand_more
Yes! Scans are run directly against Google Maps results for the exact coordinates you choose, so any country or city Google covers will work seamlessly.
