Why a single ranking number is misleading

Distance is one of the three things Google says it uses to rank local results, along with relevance and prominence. Someone searching from your street sees a different map from someone two miles away. A checker that searches from one spot, usually your own address, shows you at your best and hides the neighborhoods where you're invisible.

A grid shows the real picture: the squares where you're in the top 3, the ones where customers scroll past three competitors first, and the ones where you don't appear at all.

How to read your grid

• Green near the center, red at the edges is the usual pattern. Your profile is relevant, but you aren't prominent enough to reach farther out.
• Gray or orange even at the center usually means a relevance problem: the wrong primary category, a thin profile or missing service pages.
• Strong on one side only often follows a competitor with a stronger profile, or a road or river people don't cross for your service.

Whatever the pattern, the next steps are in how to rank in the Google Maps 3-pack.

Tracking it every week

The free audit is a snapshot. Our clients get the same grid scanned every week, saved with its raw results, so they can watch squares turn green. On the Partnership plan, that grid decides when billing starts: 5 of 25 squares in the top 3, confirmed on two scans at least 48 hours apart. The full method is on How we measure.
