Maps Rank Tracking
Maps rank tracking measures your Google Maps position from multiple geographic points across a service area, displayed as a grid. Because local rankings vary sharply with the searcher's distance from your business, a single average position hides the information that actually matters.
Prices shown are starting points. The final cost depends on the size and scope of your project, and we confirm it in writing before any work begins.
A single local rank number is close to meaningless. You will nearly always rank well within a kilometre of your address and may be invisible five kilometres away. The average of those tells you nothing actionable.
Grid tracking samples a matrix of points across your area and shows the position at each. The pattern reveals how far your visibility actually extends, which competitors dominate which neighbourhoods, and whether optimisation is expanding your radius over time.
What's included
- Geo-grid setup across your service area
- Tracking for your priority keywords
- Competitor visibility comparison by area
- Monthly grid snapshots showing change
- Analysis of which areas are gaining or losing
- Recommendations tied to the weak zones
Questions people actually ask
Why do I rank differently in different parts of the city?
Proximity is a primary local ranking factor. Google shows results near the searcher, so your visibility naturally decays with distance. The goal of local SEO is extending that radius, and grid tracking is how you see whether it is working.
How big should the grid be?
Match it to your realistic service area. A restaurant needs a few kilometres; a plumber covering a metro needs a much wider grid with coarser spacing. Tracking beyond where you would actually travel just produces discouraging data you cannot act on.
