You need
A Google account or any email address. No card to start.
Free plan
100 scan credits and 50 AI Power, scans up to a 5x5 grid.

Know what the Free plan includes

Every new account starts on the Free plan:

  • 100 scan credits. One scan point costs one credit, so a 5x5 scan for one keyword costs 25: four scans to try it out.
  • 50 AI Power, enough for an AI Analysis of a scan (25) or keyword ideas (10).
  • Grids up to 5x5, recurring scans, shared report links and one workspace.

The Free plan’s credits are given once and don’t refill each month, and the Free plan never expires while you have scan credits left. When you need more, buy a top-up or pick a plan, see plans and top-ups.

Find your way around

Everything is in the sidebar on the left, in four groups:

  • Local rankings: run Google Maps grid scans, see your scan history, set up recurring scans, get an AI Analysis and manage the links you shared.
  • Search analytics: track where your website ranks on Google search, with Search Console data. On Starter and up.
  • AI Visibility: check whether ChatGPT, Gemini and other AI assistants mention and recommend the business. An add-on.
  • Workspace: teammates, white label and API keys.

At the bottom are your profile, the workspace you’re in and your plan. Click the plan to see how many credits are left.

Run your first scan

Run a scan opens first. Search for the business by name and pick it from the list, type a keyword a customer would search, for example plumber near me, and press Enter. Leave the grid at 5x5 and 1 km, then click Run scan.

Run a scan with Your Business and the keyword plumber near me filled in, the 5x5 grid at 1 km, 25 scan credits, the grid of pins on the map and the Run scan button
Business and keyword (1), grid size and spacing (2) and Run scan (3).

The pins on the map show where Glocavo will search from. When it finishes, the report shows your rank at every pin. The full walkthrough is in run a Google Maps grid scan, and read the rank map explains the results.
