Where do you actually show up on Google Maps?

Your ranking is not the same 500 metres from your door as it is 5 kilometres away. GMB Manager measures your local ranking point by point around your business, keyword by keyword.

rank tracking report
Map of a rank tracking report: one dot per measurement point, coloured according to the ranking obtained at that spot.
Proof on the map

Every dot is a real measurement

The report simulates a Google search at each point of the grid and records where your profile lands in the local results, at that exact spot.

Green: you are in the top 3, the area where Google shows your profile first.
Orange: top 10, visible but behind competitors.
Red: beyond the top 10. The darkest dots are the spots where your profile does not appear at all.
How it works

Three settings, then it runs on its own

01
Pick your keywords

Up to 50 keywords per location: "beauty salon", "emergency plumber", whatever your customers actually type.

02
Set your area

Square or circular grid, up to 13×13 points, spacing of your choice. Cover your neighbourhood or the whole city.

03
Get your measurements

A report scheduled every week, on the day you choose. Need an immediate check? A manual scan starts in one click.

Tracking over time

A snapshot proves nothing, a trend does

Each report stacks on the previous ones and draws your trend curves: average position, share of voice in the top 3, areas won and lost. That is the proof your SEO work is paying off, keyword by keyword.

Changing the size or the shape of your grid? The history is kept: the curves continue over the shared area and flag the change.

Frequently asked questions

What people ask us about rank tracking

Where do the measurements come from?
From local search data collected independently of the Google APIs. Every point on the grid corresponds to a search simulated at precise GPS coordinates.
How often are reports produced?
One scheduled scan per week and per keyword, on the day of your choice. You can also launch a manual scan at any time, for example after optimising your profile.
Can I change my grid without losing the history?
Yes. The curves continue over the area shared by both grids, and the change is flagged on the charts so you never compare different areas without knowing it.
How much does it consume?
Every measured point consumes credits from your account. The cost of a scan is shown before you launch it: grid size × cost per point, no surprises.
Can my own clients look at the reports?
Yes. The "end client" role gives full read access to the maps and the curves, with no billable action possible.
