Why local rankings need a grid

A normal rank tracker asks Google one question from one place and reports one position. For a national website that is fine. For a plumber in Leeds it is wrong most of the time, because Google Maps answers differently depending on where the searcher is standing. The plumber is first for the streets around the workshop and nowhere for the other side of the city, and a single number cannot say which.

A grid tracker asks the same question from 49 points across the service area and colours each one: green for the top 3, amber for 4 to 10, red for further down, grey for not found. The client sees their own town and where they win and lose on it. It is the one page in a local SEO report that needs no explanation.

Against credit-based grid tools

Local Falcon and similar tools sell grid scans as credits: each scan costs credits, credits expire, and a busy month for one client is a bill for the agency. LocalPulse is a flat £15 per property with the monthly grid, the weekly refresh and everything else included, so a client's report costs the same in January as in July. See LocalPulse vs Local Falcon and flat-rate alternatives to credits.

Agencies typically charge £99 to £199 per client per month for local reporting. You set your own price.

Questions

How often are rankings checked?

Every 30 days automatically, plus an on-demand refresh up to once every 7 days per property. Local rankings move slowly; a monthly grid is what clients need to see progress and what the report is built around.

What is the grid size and spacing?

7 by 7, 49 points, 5 km across with the business at the centre, about 0.8 km between points. Wide enough to cover the area a local service business actually serves, dense enough to show the edge of its reach.

Does it track organic rankings too?

Yes. Each keyword gets an organic position and a Google Maps position, with the month-on-month change, alongside the grid.

How many keywords?

Up to 10 per property. They are chosen for the local pack (service plus town) and you can change them at any time. A client who needs more coverage is a second property.

Can I try it before signing up?

Yes. The free Google Maps rank checker runs one keyword on the same 49-point grid with no signup.
