Geo-grid heatmap
Your Google rank isn't one number — it changes depending on where the searcher is standing. The Geo-grid checks your rank from 16 points across your area and paints it as a heatmap, so you can see exactly which blocks you win and which your competitors own.

Guides
How do I see where I rank across my whole service area?
Open the Geo-grid page. It shows your Google Maps rank from 16 points across your area as a heatmap — green where you're in the top 3, red where competitors beat you — for each of your selected keywords.
How-to →How do I run a fresh geo-grid scan?
Click "Run refresh" on the Geo-grid page — it re-scans all 16 points for your map keywords. You get 3 free manual re-runs each month (on top of 2 automatic scans); beyond that, extra grids are $1 each.
How-to →Why is my Google rank different in different parts of my city?
Because Google localizes results by where the searcher is standing — proximity is a ranking factor. You can be #1 at your storefront and invisible a few neighborhoods over, which is exactly why the geo-grid shows a range of ranks across your area instead of one number.
Explainer →What do the colors on the geo-grid heatmap mean?
Each cell is your Google Maps rank at that exact point, colored by how well you place: green means top 3, amber means the middle of the pack (roughly 6–8), and red means weak or not ranking (9–10 or beyond). Your business location is marked, so you can see how rank fades as you move away from it.
Explainer →Which geo-grid density should I choose — Urban, Suburb, or Service-Area?
Choose the density that matches how far your customers travel to you. Urban packs the 16 points tightly (about 0.25 miles apart) for dense city blocks; Suburb (about 1 mile apart) is the default and fits most local businesses; Service-Area spreads them wide (about 3–5 miles) for trades that cover a whole region.
