Local Rank Tracker Features:
Heatmaps, Competitors & Reports
Explore the complete suite of high-precision geo-grid heatmaps, competitor recon matrices, automated rank schedules, client-ready AI reports, and AI-driven growth roadmaps.
See your exact Google Maps rank at every street corner.
Standard rank trackers check ranking from a single server location. GridBeacon checks Google Maps results from each micro-coordinate, exposing ranking drop-offs block by block.
Custom Grid Radii (0.1 mi to 100 mi)
Target dense urban downtown sidewalks or expand out to cover massive multi-county service areas with custom step distance.
Coordinate Pin Trimming
Remove coordinates falling over lakes, national parks, or non-serviced industrial zones to save credits on every recurring scan.
Instant Node SERP Telemetry
Click any single circle on the grid to inspect the top 40 Google Maps results captured at that exact latitude and longitude.
Know who outranks you, where they win, and how to beat them.
Every single grid scan automatically extracts and tracks the top 20 competitors at all points without charging extra credits. Compare market share side-by-side.
-
Automatic 20-Competitor Extraction: No setup needed. We index every competitor appearing in the local pack across your entire grid footprint.
-
Competitor Market Share Index: View calculated Share of Voice (SoV) percentage showing which rivals occupy the top 3 spots most frequently.
-
Side-by-Side Ranking Overlays: Toggle your heatmap against any competing profile instantly to pinpoint boundary lines where customer traffic is being stolen.
Competitor Gap Finder: See the exact coordinates where you lead vs. where you lag.
Stop guessing why competitors capture inquiries right across town. Gap Finder performs instant head-to-head delta analysis against any rival business, revealing the exact street-level coordinates where they outrank you—and where you hold undisputed local authority.
Instant Delta Telemetry
Directly visualize exact ranking margins (+/- ranks) at every single coordinate point. See whether you lead by +4 spots in central neighborhoods or lag by -5 spots near competitor headquarters.
Head-to-Head Win/Loss Mapping
One-click toggle between competitor profiles instantly reveals defensive strongholds and vulnerable zip/street borders where market share is actively migrating to rising rivals.
Targeted Counter-Attacks
Export pinpoint coordinate CSVs or feed negative delta nodes directly into AI Action Plans to deploy localized citations, targeted review campaigns, and geo-relevance updates that flip red points to green.
Stunning, client-ready reports that prove your agency's worth.
Turn abstract SEO jargon into intuitive visual proof clients immediately understand. Retain accounts longer and close new pitches faster with clear visual reports.
AI Ranking Intelligence Reports
Turn a scan into a PDF report that summarises visibility, competitors and recommended next steps. Available on paid plans.
Scheduled Scans & Alerts
Run scans daily, weekly, every two weeks or monthly, and email ranking alerts to you and any extra recipients you add.
Team Access
Invite teammates into your workspace on paid plans so everyone works from the same businesses, scans and history.
See what's different where you rank poorly.
The heatmap shows where you are weak. Rank MRI turns that into a plan: click any point, read the evidence, and give your team one job per problem area.
- Point investigation. Who is ahead of you, how you compare, and how the point has moved.
- Grouped issues. Neighbouring weak points become one issue, ranked by a priority you can edit.
- Tasks and experiments. Assign the work, record what changed and compare later scans.
- Client reports. PDFs for a point, an issue or a whole scan, in your branding on the Agency plan.
Included on every paid plan. Analyzing a scan uses no credits. It shows evidence to check, not Google's reasons.
