Local grid ranking analysis
Rankings mapped across a geographic grid for your priority search terms, showing visibility by area.
Know exactly where you show up
See where you rank across your service area — block by block.
A grid-based analysis of where your business appears in local results across your service area, what's holding visibility back, and which moves are worth making first.
- A clear picture of visibility across the whole service area
- Evidence-based priorities instead of guesswork
- A documented baseline for measuring future work
The Problem
What this service solves
Local rankings aren't one number. You can sit in the top three a mile from your address and be invisible four miles out, and a single search from your own phone will never show you that. Without geographic data, marketing decisions get made on impressions instead of evidence.
- No idea how visibility changes across the service area
- Rankings checked from one location, or from a logged-in browser
- No comparison against the competitors actually taking the calls
- Spending decisions made without knowing where the gaps are

Answers
Local Rank & Visibility Audits questions, answered
- What is a local grid ranking report?
- Rankings are checked from many simulated points across a geographic grid around your business, then plotted on a map. It shows how visibility changes with distance instead of reporting one position.
- Can an audit guarantee better rankings?
- No. An audit identifies where you are weak and what is most likely causing it. Implementation and competition determine what happens next, and no honest provider guarantees a position.
- How often should this be run?
- A baseline at the start, then quarterly during an active program. More frequent checks rarely produce a signal worth acting on.
- Do you audit competitors too?
- Yes. Competitor positions across the same grid are part of the deliverable — knowing who wins where is often the most useful part.
