Keyword Rank Tracker
Go to Keyword Rank Tracker →The Keyword Rank Tracker shows exactly where a business appears in Google Maps search results for any keyword, across a geographic grid. It gives you local visibility at a hyper-local level.
Running a Scan
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.
Every scan costs 1 credit, regardless of grid size — a 9×9 grid costs the same as a 5×5.
Choosing the Area to Scan
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.
Understanding the Grid Map
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.
Credits
Rank Tracker scans require Rank Tracker credits — 1 per scan, whether you run it manually or it runs on a schedule. Purchase credit packs from the Billing page.
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.
Rank Replay Timeline
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.
Trends & Comparison
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.
History
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.
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.
Scheduling Scans
On the Schedule tab, set up automated scans to run weekly, bi-weekly or monthly. A schedule reuses the keyword and grid settings you have in place, and each run costs 1 credit.
Schedules can be paused 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.
Weekly is the sweet spot for most profiles — frequent enough to show movement, cheap enough to run across a whole portfolio.
Reports
Generate a shareable Rank Tracker report showing scan results, grid map, and trend data.
Reports can be shared via link — useful for client reporting and internal reviews.
