A complete map tells you where the enquiries are going when they are not coming to you.

Every position

Your ranking at each point across your area, with nothing hidden behind a question mark.

Who is ahead of you

The competitors taking the top three places, and where they are doing it.

Strong and weak ground

Where you already hold a top three place, and where you drop out of sight.

More than one search

Maps for the keywords that matter to you, because each search gives a different picture.

Our view on the changes most likely to move you up.

How the rank checker works

It takes about a minute from start to finish.

1

Find your business

Type your business name and choose your Google Business Profile from the list.

2

Pick a keyword

Choose the search you most want to show up for, such as your trade and your town.

3

See your position map

Your ranking is shown at points around your area, so you can see where you are strong and where you drop away.

How to read your position map

A map tells you far more than a single ranking, because Google shows different results depending on where the search is made.

The top three is the target

Google shows three businesses in the map results before anyone has to tap for more. Positions one to three are where the calls come from.

Distance changes everything

You will usually rank best near your own address. The further away the search, the harder your listing has to work.

Gaps show lost enquiries

Any part of your area where you are outside the top three is somewhere a competitor is being found instead of you.

One keyword is one picture

Your map for one search can look very different from the next. Check the two or three searches that bring you the most work.

Positions move

Rankings shift as you and your competitors gain reviews and update your listings, so it is worth checking again over time.

The listing decides it

Categories, reviews, photographs and activity on your Google Business Profile all feed into where you appear.

Questions about the rank checker

Is the rank checker free?

Yes. There is nothing to pay and nothing to sign up for, and the full report is free as well.

What does the position map show?

It shows where your Google Business Profile appears in the map results for your keyword at different points around your area. The free check gives you part of the picture, which is usually enough to see whether you have a problem.

Why do I rank well in one place and not in another?

Google map results change depending on where the person searching is standing. Most businesses are strongest close to their own address and fade the further away the search is made.

What is in the full report that the free check does not show?

The free check hides some of your positions behind question marks. The full report shows your ranking at every point across your area, who is ahead of you at each one, and what we would do about it.

Can you check more than one keyword?

Yes. Tell us the searches that bring you the most work and we will map the ones that matter.

How long does the full report take?

We send it within one to two working days, Monday to Friday.
