One search, from one spot, usually the one right next to your front door.
GeoGrid rank tracking
See exactly where you rank, street by street.
Your Google Maps ranking isn't one number. It changes from one block to the next. GeoGrid searches your keyword from a grid of points across your service area and maps your rank at every one, alongside the competitors who beat you there.

Why a grid
One rank number hides most of the map.
Google ranks local results by where the searcher is standing. Check from your own office and you'll look great. Your customers aren't searching from your office.
The same keyword on a GeoGrid
Top three on a third of the map.
Strong around the shop, fading to the east, and invisible where a competitor owns the neighborhood.

Interactive sample with made-up rankings. Colors follow the app: green for rank 1 through red for rank 20, dark red past 20.The center point can't be switched off.
Three numbers per scan
A whole map, summed up in AGR, ATGR and SoLV.
A grid is easy to read and hard to compare. These three metrics turn each scan into numbers you can track, chart and report.
Average Grid Rank
Your average position across the points where you show up in the top 20. It tells you how well you rank where you rank at all.
Sum of ranks at points in the top 20 ÷ number of those points
Ranks 2, 4, 9 and 20+ → (2 + 4 + 9) ÷ 3 = 5.0
Lower is better.
Average Total Grid Rank
Your average position across every point, counting anything outside the top 20 as 21. It is the honest score for the whole area.
Sum of ranks at every point, 20+ as 21 ÷ all points
Ranks 2, 4, 9 and 20+ → (2 + 4 + 9 + 21) ÷ 4 = 9.0
Lower is better. Best for tracking reach.
Share of Local Voice
The percentage of points where you rank first, second or third: the positions people see in the map pack.
Points ranked 1 to 3 ÷ all points
Ranks 2, 4, 9 and 20+ → 1 ÷ 4 = 25%
Higher is better. The one to show a client.
Competitors
Every scan is a scan of your competitors, too.
Each point records the top 20 businesses, not just yours. So one scan tells you who is winning each neighborhood, and by how much.
- Open any point to see who ranks there, with address and categories
- View any competitor's full grid from the same scan, at no extra cost
- A sortable table with each competitor's AGR, ATGR, SoLV, rating and review count
- Badges when a competitor enters the top three for the first time, or returns to it
- Export the list to CSV, with phone numbers and websites
| Business | SoLV | AGR | ATGR | Reviews |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Competitor A | 47% | 3.1 | 4.4 | ★ 4.8 (412) |
| Your business | 33% | 4.2 | 6.8 | ★ 4.9 (212) |
| Competitor B | 14% | 6.0 | 9.7 | ★ 4.5 (96) |
Track it over time
Set the schedule once. Watch the map change.
A scheduled grid re-runs the same keywords on the same points, so every scan is comparable with the last one.
- Weekly, bi-weekly, monthly or quarterly, at the hour and time zone you choose
- Many keywords per schedule, with reusable keyword groups and tags
- Change since the last scan, a trend line and charts for each metric
- Put any two scans side by side, or share a comparison link that stays current
- Turn a keyword's history into an animated GIF
- An optional email digest when scheduled scans finish

The fastest way to show a client what changed.
A link anyone can open
Every scan has a public page: an interactive, tilted 3D map with the three metrics and a competitor list, where each competitor's grid can be opened. No login needed.
- Served from your own domain with your logo
- Embed it on any page with one snippet
- A page per schedule with every keyword, its history and charts
In the reports you already send
Add chosen keywords to your scheduled white-label reports as before and after grids, and to audit reports alongside the rest of the profile review.
- Download any grid as an image, or the full results as CSV
- Print a side-by-side comparison to PDF
- Tag statistics that sum up progress across everything sharing a tag
For agencies: the lead widget
Let prospects scan themselves on your website.
Embed a GeoGrid form on your site. A prospect enters their business and a keyword, and gets their own grid by email. You get a lead who has just seen exactly where they don't rank.
- Finds storefronts, service-area businesses or a pasted Maps link
- Your wording, colors, consent checkboxes and thank-you redirect
- You choose the grid size, so you control the credits each lead uses
- New leads arrive by email and by webhook to the tools you use

What is a GeoGrid?
A GeoGrid is a local rank check run from many points at once. Local Optics lays a grid over your service area, searches Google Maps for your keyword from every point, and shows your rank at each one. The result is a map of where you appear in the top three and where you don't.
What do AGR, ATGR and SoLV mean?
AGR (Average Grid Rank) is your average rank across the points where you appear in the top 20. ATGR (Average Total Grid Rank) averages every point and counts anything outside the top 20 as 21. SoLV (Share of Local Voice) is the percentage of points where you rank in the top three.
How big can a grid be?
Grids are 3×3, 5×5, 7×7, 9×9 or 13×13 points. Points can be 100 meters to 25 kilometers apart, or 0.1 to 10 miles, so the largest grid spans about 300 kilometers. You can drag the center anywhere and switch off individual points to fit your territory.
How do GeoGrid credits work?
One credit is one grid point for one keyword in one scan. A 7×7 grid is 49 credits per keyword, less if you switch points off. The cost is shown before you run a scan. Every plan includes a monthly credit allowance, and extra credits can be added.
Can I scan a business I don't manage?
Yes. Pick a business from your connected Google Business Profiles, paste a Google Maps link, search by name, or enter a Place ID. Agencies use this to audit prospects and to view competitors.
Does GeoGrid work for service-area businesses?
Yes. A service-area business has no storefront pin, so you set a default center for its grid once. After that it scans like any other business, and the service area outline can be shown on the map.
How often can scans run?
Run a scan on demand whenever you like, or schedule it weekly, every two weeks, monthly or quarterly. Schedules can run on a chosen weekday or calendar day, at an hour and time zone you set.
Does it work outside the United States?
Yes. Scans use the Google domain for the business's country, and you can search in English or in the country's local language.
Can clients see results without logging in?
Yes. Every scan has a public link that opens an interactive map with the metrics and competitor grids. Agencies can serve it from their own domain with their own logo, or embed it on a page.
