Geo-grid rank tracking, block-by-block across your service area
See your Google Maps ranking from every grid point across your service area, not just from your front door. Weekly Local Falcon scans, competitor heatmaps and actionable rank reports that show where you win and where you don't.
5×5 or 7×7 grids
Configurable grid density across your full service area. Up to 49 measurement points per scan.
Competitor heatmaps
See not just your rank but the businesses ranking ahead of you at each grid point.
Weekly cadence
Scans run automatically every week. Trend reports show 4-week, 12-week and YoY movement.
Why this moves the needle
Stop the single-point illusion
A 'rank #3' average hides that you rank #1 in your neighborhood and #20 across the river. Geo-grid surfaces it.
Target underperforming zones
Identify which neighborhoods need more attention — content, citations, reviews or local links.
Track competitive shifts
Competitor heatmaps reveal who's gaining ground in your service area and where.
Prove ROI to stakeholders
Visual geo-grid reports make ranking movement legible to owners and marketing teams.

The heatmap report changed how we evaluate SEO. We could finally see we ranked #1 in our home neighborhood but were invisible 2 miles away. That insight rebuilt our content strategy.

Plain-English answers to the questions AI search engines and voice assistants are most likely to ask.
What is geo-grid rank tracking?
Geo-grid rank tracking measures your Google Maps ranking from multiple physical coordinates arranged in a grid across your service area. Instead of a single 'you rank #3' average, geo-grid shows that you rank #1 in some neighborhoods and #20 in others, revealing exactly where your visibility is strong and weak.
Why is geo-grid better than regular rank tracking?
Regular rank tracking measures one ranking from one location, usually your office. Local search results vary dramatically by physical location — a business that ranks #1 from its office can rank #15 from 3 miles away. Geo-grid catches that variance and gives you actionable data per neighborhood.
How big should my grid be?
For a single-location business serving a 5-mile radius, a 5×5 grid with 1-mile spacing covers your full service area. For service-area businesses covering a city, 7×7 with 2-mile spacing. For multi-location brands, separate grids per location.
How often should you run geo-grid scans?
Weekly is the sweet spot. Daily scans cost more than they reveal because rankings rarely change day-to-day. Monthly scans miss week-to-week competitor moves. Weekly catches real movement and is cost-efficient.
Geo-grid rank tracking, block-by-block across your service area — questions people ask
What tool do you use?
Local Falcon is our primary tool. We also use Places Scout and BrightLocal for cross-validation on enterprise engagements. Reports are delivered in our own dashboard regardless of the underlying scanner.
Can I run geo-grid tracking without engaging you for SEO work?
Yes. Geo-grid tracking is available as a standalone service for clients who run their own SEO or use another agency but want independent measurement.
How many keywords can I track?
Up to 15 per location per grid. Most clients run 5–10 high-value commercial keywords. Tracking 30+ keywords adds noise without adding insight.
Do you track desktop and mobile separately?
Mobile by default since 70%+ of local searches are mobile. Desktop tracking available as an add-on for specific use cases.
