Local rank tracker
A local rank tracker that shows the map, not a number
49 Google Maps searches around each client, every month, next to last month. Plus organic positions for up to 10 keywords. In a report with your logo on it.
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, orange for 11 to 20, red for 21 and below, 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 on monthly plans expire at the end of the month, and a busy month for one client is a bill for the agency. LocalPulse is a flat £15 per property with the monthly grid, an on-demand refresh up to once a week (sooner if a scan comes back incomplete) 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.
We estimate that an agency pricing reporting separately can charge £99 to £199 per client per month. 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, sooner if a scan comes back incomplete. 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, with the business at the centre. You set the radius per client, from 1 km for a city-centre shop to 25 km for a service-area business; the default is 5 km, which makes the grid 10 km across with about 1.7 km between points. The free checker uses the same 49-point method on a fixed 2.5 km radius.
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 with the same 49-point method, on a fixed 2.5 km radius, free with just an email address.
