Google Maps Rank Tracker: Geo-Grid Local SEO

See where a business ranks on Google Maps at every point of a grid around it (3x3 to 9x9) for up to 5 keywords: rank per point, top 3 competitors, average rank and share of local voice. Pay per grid point, no subscription.

Try it on Apify

Typical uses

Local SEO agencies: monthly geo-grid reports for each client, at cost per point, scheduled and sent to a spreadsheet or a dashboard.
Business owners: see the streets where you disappear from the map pack, and who takes your place there.
Before / after: measure the effect of a Google Business Profile change, new reviews or a new category on the same grid.
Competitor research: the competitor ranked first at the most points, with its rating and review count.
AI agents (MCP): "how visible is this dentist in its neighbourhood?" answered with numbers.
