Name: Local Rank Tracker
Brand: Rankability

Track Local Pack and Google Maps rankings — across every location you serve

Local rankings move every block. A roofer can rank #1 in the Local Pack from one ZIP code and disappear entirely from the next. A national brand with 200 storefronts has 200 different SERPs to manage. Rankability's local rank tracker measures your Google Maps and Local Pack positions on a geo-grid around every location you care about — so you see the real rankings your customers see, location by location, neighborhood by neighborhood.

Local Pack tracking

The Local Pack — the 3-pack of map results at the top of Google — is where most local clicks go. Reporter tracks your Local Pack position for every keyword you care about, from every location you serve, on every scan. Know whether you're in the pack, on the edge, or buried beneath the fold.

Geo-grid visibility

Local rankings change block by block. Reporter's geo-grid tracking measures your rankings at every point in a grid around your business — so you can see exactly where you dominate, where you're invisible, and where the competition owns the map. A heatmap at a glance, with full position data behind every cell.

Google Business Profile signals

Local Pack rankings are powered as much by your Google Business Profile as they are by your website. Reporter surfaces the GBP signals that move the needle — review velocity, category alignment, photo additions, post cadence — alongside your rank data, so you can connect changes in your profile to changes in your visibility.

Multi-location tracking

Whether you have 5 locations or 500, Reporter handles them as one project. Track each storefront on its own keyword set, in its own geo-grid, against its own competitor set — and roll up the data into brand-wide or region-wide reporting in a single click.

Local competitor tracking

Local SEO is a cage match. Reporter tracks every competitor that shows up in the Local Pack alongside you — including the ones you didn't know existed yesterday. See who is moving up, who is dropping, and exactly which neighborhoods are being contested.

Client-ready local reports

Local clients want to see the map. Reporter's exportable reports include geo-grid heatmaps, Local Pack position trends, GBP performance, and competitor share-of-voice — all in a format that makes sense to a non-SEO. Built for agencies that need to prove the work every month.

Frequently asked questions

What is a local rank tracker?

A local rank tracker measures where your business shows up in Google's Local Pack and Google Maps results — and how those rankings change depending on where the searcher is located. Unlike a traditional rank tracker, it measures from many points around your business, not just one.

How does geo-grid rank tracking work?

Reporter places a grid of measurement points around your business — you choose the radius and density. At each point, it runs your local keywords as if a customer were searching from that exact spot, and records your Local Pack and Maps positions. The result is a heatmap showing where you dominate, where you're weak, and where competitors own the map.

Can I track multiple locations from one account?

Yes. Multi-location is a first-class workflow. Each location gets its own keyword set, geo-grid, and competitor list — and you get rollup reporting across the whole brand or any region you define.

Does Reporter track Google Maps rankings as well as the Local Pack?

Yes. Reporter captures both — your Local Pack position on the main Google SERP and your Google Maps ranking when the searcher opens Maps directly. Both are tracked at every grid point.

Can I see which competitors are ranking in the Local Pack?

Yes. Every scan captures the full Local Pack lineup at every grid point. You'll see the competitors above you, the ones gaining ground, and the ones who've replaced businesses that used to rank.

Does Rankability also track AI search for local queries?

Yes. The same project tracks how ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and AI Overviews respond to local queries in your area — so you can see where AI search is recommending your business and where it isn't.
