Local SEO
One "ranking" lies: on neighbouring streets you can be in the top 3 or completely invisible.
A geo-grid is a grid of dozens of points around your address where we measure the real position in Google/Maps. You see where you are strong and where you are losing customers, and you improve visibility neighbourhood by neighbourhood.
Geo-grid local rank tracking measures business visibility in Google Maps and the local pack using a grid of dozens of points around the address. Different grid points give different rankings: on one street you are in the top 3, in the next neighbourhood you are not. The grid reveals the full picture and helps you grow precisely where you are currently invisible. Request a quote and we reply within 24-48 hours.
Here we explain geo-grid local rank tracking: the tool that shows real business visibility in Google and Google Maps using a grid of points around the address, rather than a single averaged ranking. We cover how the grid of points works, why you should measure rankings by radius, how geo-grid differs from standard tracking and how the data helps improve local SEO in a targeted way. We look at the typical methodology: coverage radius, grid step, measurement frequency and heat-map interpretation. We break down what this kind of monitoring costs and give timeline estimates, then answer common questions. At the end, our SEO packages with real prices and related local SEO services.
A standard rank tracker shows one result, as if all customers search for you from the same point. But Google personalises local results by the user's exact location: two blocks away the result is already different. A geo-grid builds a grid of 9, 25 or 49 points around the address and measures the position in Google Maps and the local pack at each point. The result is a heat map with real rankings by neighbourhood, growth zones and clear priorities to work on.
Geo-grid tracking is a recurring service: a one-off snapshot gives you a starting point, but trends are only visible with regular measurements. Cost is shaped by coverage radius, grid density, number of tracked keywords and update frequency. Exact SEO prices are in the packages block below; here is a reference for levels and who each suits.
| Level | Grid and coverage | Frequency | Who it fits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | 3×3 grid, 2 km radius, up to 5 keywords | Every 30 days | Small business with one location |
| Pro | 5×5 grid, 5 km radius, up to 15 keywords | Every 15 days | Business in a competitive local niche |
| Multi-location | 7×7 grid, multiple addresses, unlimited keywords | Every 7 days | Chains and franchises across multiple cities |
Classic rank trackers make a single query from one point and return one number. But Google's local results depend heavily on the user's exact location: results for someone 500 metres away can differ dramatically from results for someone 2 km away. A geo-grid solves this by measuring rankings at dozens of points around the address and showing how visibility changes by neighbourhood. According to Local Falcon, more than 80% of local businesses have significant ranking differences within their target radius, meaning nearby potential customers simply cannot find them.
«Rankings in local search and on maps change significantly depending on the user's exact location: a single measurement hides the real picture that only a grid of points can reveal.»
Geo-grid local rank tracking replaces a single averaged ranking with a real visibility map in Google Maps across dozens of points around your address. You see which neighbourhoods put you in the top 3 and where you are losing customers, and you get concrete priorities for working on your profile, links and content. Standard tracking does not show this: a single measurement hides what your customer sees in the next block. Regular grid-point measurement (every 30 days or more often) turns neighbourhood visibility data into managed local SEO growth.

It is measuring your business position in Google Maps not from one point but from a grid of dozens of points around your address. Each point shows what position you appear at in local results for users specifically from that location.
A standard tracker gives one number: an average position from one point. Geo-grid shows how that position changes across different neighbourhoods. You might be in the top 3 near your office and not appear in the local pack in the next block.
For most local businesses (cafés, salons, clinics, shops) the optimal radius is 1-3 km with a 3×3 or 5×5 grid. If you serve the whole city or do delivery, consider 5-10 km. The radius is checked against real data: if customers travel from further away, the grid is widened.
At least once every 30 days is the standard for most businesses. With active SEO or high competition we recommend every 15 days or every 7 days to see the effect of profile and content changes. Measuring on the same day each month keeps the dynamics comparable.
It only measures. Geo-grid is a diagnostic tool: it shows the current visibility picture by neighbourhood. Ranking growth is achieved by working on the GMB profile, content, citations and links based on the grid data. Without the measurement that work is done blind; with it you see exactly where it paid off.
AGR is the average position value across all grid points for one keyword. It is the only meaningful aggregate geo-grid metric: the lower the AGR, the better the overall business visibility across the radius. The report shows the AGR for each keyword alongside the map, so the number never lives apart from the picture.
We run the project in Russian, Spanish and English, the studio's three working languages. Reports, heat maps and recommendations are delivered in your preferred language, as is support. Neighbourhood names and grid queries are taken in the language your customers search in.
Classic geo-grid measures positions in Google Maps and the Google Local Pack, the main source of local traffic. Yandex Maps and other platforms have their own tools, which we can also connect on request. For a business in Spain the bulk of local traffic comes from Google, so that is where we start.
A weak zone is a growth opportunity. The standard plan: analyse competitors in that zone, strengthen the GMB profile and get more reviews from customers specifically from there, add geo pages mentioning the neighbourhood and grow local citations (directory sites with the address).
Yes. Most geo-grid tracking tools let you see who occupies the top 3 at each grid point and is pushing you out in specific neighbourhoods. This helps you understand exactly who you are competing with for Google Maps visibility and where they have a strong position.
