Free Local Map Ranking Check

When someone nearby searches for what you do, do they see you?

Google shows different businesses to different people depending on where they're standing. A customer two streets away might see you first, while one across town never sees you at all. We'll show you which is which.

  • ✓ A simple map of your town showing where you show up
  • ✓ A score out of 100 for how visible you are locally
  • ✓ Your full report sent to your inbox

The plain-English version

What's the "map pack", and why does it matter?

1. The top 3 get the calls

Search “plumber near me” and Google shows a small map with just 3 businesses under it. That's the map pack. Most people call one of those three and never scroll further.

2. It changes by location

Google picks those 3 based on who's closest to the person searching. So you might be #1 near your shop, but invisible a few kilometres away, right where your customers live.

3. You can't see it yourself

When you search from your own office, you'll usually look great. That's why we check from many spots around your town at once, like dropping pins across a map.

How to read your map: an example

Imagine “Smith Plumbing” is in the middle square. Each circle is a neighbourhood, and the number is where Smith shows up when someone there searches “plumber”.

  • Teal (1–3): In the top 3. Customers here see you right away.
  • Orange (4–10): On the list, but people have to tap “more” to find you.
  • Red (11+): Effectively invisible. A competitor is getting these calls.

Smith is strong at home, but losing the bottom-left neighbourhood entirely. That's a fixable gap.

Common questions

Is this really free?

Yes. The check and the emailed report are free. If you'd like help improving your results, you can book a call, but there's no obligation.

What should I type as my search word?

Whatever a customer would type into Google to find you: “dentist”, “roofer”, “hair salon”. Pick the one service that brings in the most business.

Why am I top 3 in some spots and not others?

Google favours businesses closest to the person searching, plus those with strong reviews and a complete Google profile. Distance you can't change; the rest you can.
