Using Keyword Rank Tracker in GBPly

Enter a keyword (e.g. 'plumber near me') and click Scan. The system checks the profile's ranking at each point of a grid laid over the area currently visible on the map.

Scans cost 1 credit per map point: a 3×3 grid uses 9 credits, a 5×5 uses 25 and a 12×12 uses 144.

The scan covers the visible map area, so you control the coverage with the map itself: pan to move the area, zoom out to cover a wider region, and zoom in for a tighter, more detailed read of a city centre.

The map opens centred on the business location. The grid dimensions come from your saved default, so the same number of points is spread across whatever area you've framed.

The map needs a moment to load before scanning is available. If you see 'Map not ready yet', give it a few seconds and try again.

Instead of an even grid, switch to Custom points and click the map to place pins exactly where your customers are. Drag a pin to move it and click it to remove it. You can place up to 144 points, spread across up to 800 km.

Each point uses 1 Rank Tracker credit, the same as a grid point, so the cost is shown before you run. Scheduled scans re-run the exact same points every time.

The grid map shows the ranking at each geographic point, colour-coded in four bands: green for positions 1–3, yellow for 4–10, orange for 11–15, and red for 16 or lower (including not found).

The business location is marked at the centre of the grid. The map makes it easy to see where visibility is strong and where it needs work.

Rank Tracker scans require Rank Tracker credits — 1 per map point (25 for a 5×5 scan), whether you run it manually or it runs on a schedule. Your plan's monthly allowance covers these; top up from the Billing page if you need more.

Subscription plans include a set number of monthly credits. Additional credits can be bought as top-up packs at any time.

Credits belong to the workspace, not to you personally.

Once there are multiple scans for the same keyword, Rank Replay plays through the ranking changes over time as an animation on the map.

Each scan adds one frame, so a recurring schedule is what makes Rank Replay genuinely useful — a weekly schedule builds a week-by-week picture of how visibility is moving.

This is invaluable for showing the impact of optimisation work, and it's one of the sections you can expose to clients in the client portal.

The trends view plots average ranking over time for each keyword. Compare multiple keywords to see which are improving.

Use this data to prioritise which keywords to focus optimisation efforts on.

The History tab lists every scan that has been run for the profile. Filter by keyword or date to find a specific scan, and open it to view its grid map again.

An opened scan comes back at the zoom and area it was originally run at. If you schedule straight from a loaded scan without moving the map, the schedule repeats exactly the area that scan covered. If that area is larger than scheduled scans allow, you'll be asked to zoom in and schedule the visible area instead.

Old scans can be deleted if you want to tidy the list — bear in mind that removing scans also removes those frames from Rank Replay.

Set up automated scans to run Weekly (every 7 days), Bi-weekly (every 14 days) or Monthly (every 30 days). A schedule repeats the map area and grid you have in place, its first run is one interval after you create it, and each run costs 1 credit per map point.

Changing a schedule: on the Schedule tab, click the pencil button on any row to change its next run date and frequency.

Set all to same date: use this button above the list to line up every schedule, or only those matching your current filter, so all your keywords run on the same day. Choose a date, then either keep each schedule's own frequency or set one frequency for all of them. You'll be asked to confirm before anything changes.

Schedules can be paused, resumed or deleted at any time. Consistent tracking is what lets you spot trends early, and it's what keeps Rank Replay populated.

If a scheduled run can't complete because the credit balance is empty, top up and the next run will proceed as normal.
