Rank trackingNew
Google Maps Rank Tracker
See your local pack rank at every point on a grid across your whole service area.
See the rank trackerGive the Google Maps Rank Tracker a keyword and it checks your position from a grid of points laid over your service area, then colours each point by where you land in the local pack. A single lookup hides the pattern; the grid shows the blocks you hold and the ones a competitor owns. Schedule the scan to repeat and the history fills in on its own, an AI Analysis reads each run for what moved and what to work on next, and Analytics follows your organic keywords beside the map. The free plan covers a full grid scan with no card.
Google Business Profile Audit Tool
Instantly score your GBP listing and get a full profile & NAP audit.
Run AuditThe Google Business Profile Audit Tool measures your listing against the signals that decide how you place in Google Maps and the local pack. The starter score rates how complete the profile is, confirms your name, address, and phone read the same everywhere they appear, and weighs your categories, photos, and review count against what tends to work. Opening the full report adds a content-policy risk check on your name and description, review themes that AI pulls from your own customer text, a local pack position check taken from five points around your address, and a section-by-section review of category fit, description quality, trust attributes, and photo coverage, each set against the businesses ranking near you.
Local SEO Website Audit
Scan your website's local SEO signals, no signup required.
Scan My SiteThe Local SEO Website Audit runs 50 checks grouped into 10 areas: name, address, and phone consistency compared with your Google Business Profile, LocalBusiness and BreadcrumbList structured data, on-page elements such as location-aware title tags and headings, a technical layer covering HTTPS, canonical tags, and a sitemap, performance and mobile readiness, content depth, and trust markers. The full report opens up real backlink and domain authority figures, live search visibility with ranking keywords and an organic traffic estimate, a directory and citation check, and an AI-written summary that orders the fixes by priority. It is built to sit beside the profile audit and cover the half of local SEO that lives on your own site.
Local SEO Keyword Finder
Find local keyword ideas for your business and city.
Find KeywordsThe Keyword Finder pairs your service or product with your city, neighbourhood, or service area and returns the longer, location-led phrases people in your market are searching for. Take the list into your website pages, your Google Business Profile posts, and your service pages, and focus it on the nearby searches a local business has a genuine chance of ranking for.
The set breaks local SEO into parts you can take one at a time: the Google listing itself, the on-page and technical side of your website, and the phrases worth writing for. Pick whichever matches the problem in front of you, or work through all of them for the full view. A side-by-side with paid platforms such as BrightLocal, Semrush Local, and Moz Local is in Best Local SEO Tools for Small Business.
Frequently asked questions
How much can I do without paying?
+
Every tool runs a real check at no cost: an instant Google Business Profile score, a website scan, a keyword list, and a full grid scan on the rank tracker. You pay once, per tool, only if you want its complete report. Nothing is a subscription.
I only have time for one. Which one?
+
To see how you currently place in the map pack, run the Google Business Profile audit. If the listing looks fine but traffic is flat, run the website audit. If you are planning pages or posts, start with the keyword finder. Add the rank tracker once you want your position broken out by location.
Do the tools work on a business I don't manage?
+
Yes. They read public data and never ask you to prove ownership, so a competitor's listing or website behaves the same as your own.
Is there a sign-up or a Google connection anywhere?
+
For the audits and the keyword finder, no: you enter a business name or a URL and the check runs. The rank tracker's free plan does need an account, though still no card, and a Search Console link there is optional.
Can any of this edit my listing or site?
+
No. Every tool only reads. Nothing is posted, changed, or submitted to your Google Business Profile or your website at any point.
