How to check your Google Maps ranking

- We run the scan for your primary service keyword in your area (for example, “plumber Sacramento”).
- Read your position on Google Maps and the competitors ranked above you — with their ratings and review counts.
What this checker actually measures
When a customer near you searches for what you do, Google shows a handful of local businesses before anything else. Being in that group — or not — is the difference between the phone ringing and the phone not ringing. This tool runs a live, coordinate-anchored query for your primary category keyword and reports where you place and who placed ahead of you.
Why searching for yourself gives the wrong answer
Checking your rank by searching for yourself is the most common mistake in local SEO. Google personalizes what you see based on your search history, your account, and your exact location — which is usually inside your own business, the one spot where you rank best. A neutral scan from fixed coordinates is the honest number. (And even that number changes street by street — which is what the geo-grid heatmap maps in full.)
What to do with the result
Ranked top 3? Defend it — competitors watching you is not hypothetical. Ranked 4–10? The competitors above you are beatable with reviews, profile fixes, and citations — the audit shows which. Not ranked at all? That's usually a category or listing problem, and it's fixable. The full $19.99/mo dashboard tracks all 50 of your keywords nightly, builds your rank history from day one, and watches the 10 competitors around you.
Questions
Is this really free? What's the catch?
The scan is free, no signup, no card. The catch is transparent: if the data is useful, we think you'll want the full dashboard — 50 keywords, geo-grid, competitor intelligence — which is $19.99/month. The scan is our sales pitch; your real numbers make it for us or they don't.
What exactly does the scan show?
Your Google Maps position for your primary service keyword, the top 3 competitors above you with their ratings and review counts, your own listing stats, and 12 months of who's owned your market's top 3 (a city-level view). Subscribers get all 50 keywords — with local-pack presence flagged on each — daily rank tracking that builds your own history, and the full Action Plan.
Why does my rank differ from what I see when I search?
Google personalizes results by your history, account, and precise location. The scan queries from neutral coordinates at your business location — closer to what a typical nearby customer sees than your own phone is.
Can I check a competitor's business instead of mine?
Yes — the scan works for any business with a Google Business Profile. Owners usually check themselves first and their loudest competitor second.
