Why grid tracking
Why a geo grid rank tracker beats one rank number
Traditional local rank tracking reports one position for a keyword, but the local pack reshuffles for every searcher based on where they stand. A GeoGrid captures that variation on a map so you can see your true coverage — and target the exact neighborhoods where you are falling out of the pack.
What you get
Google Places rank tracker software with a local SEO heatmap
Map-Grid Scanning
Instead of one ranking number, we check your position from dozens of points across your service area — so you see the real map of where you rank and where you vanish.
Rank From the Customer’s Location
Google Maps results change with proximity. We measure from the spots your customers actually search, not a single office address, for a true picture of local visibility.
Competitor Grids
Overlay the competitors dominating each neighborhood and see who you have to outrank, keyword by keyword, block by block.
History for Every Location
Every scan is saved per location, so you can prove your Google Maps rankings are improving over time — and multi-location brands and agencies can track every location from one dashboard.
Keyword Tracking
Track the exact “near me” and service-plus-city searches that drive calls and visits, then watch each one climb across the grid.
Action, Not Just Data
Pair rankings with AI review responses, GBP posts, and profile fixes so you can actually move the map — not just stare at it.
The tracking runs on our GeoGrid scanner — see the data behind it in the GeoGrid study. To move the map, pair it with GBP management, AI review responses, and GBP posts. Comparing tools?

FAQ
Questions about Google Maps rank tracking
What is a Google Maps rank tracker?
A Google Maps rank tracker measures where your business appears in the Google map results for a keyword. Because Maps rankings change based on the searcher’s location, MyAds.Guru tracks your position from a grid of points across your service area — a “GeoGrid” — instead of a single spot, giving you a far more honest view of your local ranking.
How is grid-based tracking better than a single rank number?
A single number hides the truth: you might rank #1 outside your front door and disappear a few miles away. A grid shows your rank at many locations at once, so you can see your real coverage, find the neighborhoods you are losing, and prioritize where to improve.
What is the difference between this and the GeoGrid scanner?
This page is the category overview — what local rank tracking is and why grid-based tracking matters. The GeoGrid scanner is the actual product that runs the scans, and the GeoGrid study is our data-backed proof of how it works. Both are linked throughout this page.
Is this Google Places rank tracker software?
Yes. "Google Places" was the old name for what is now Google Business Profile and the Google Maps local results. MyAds.Guru tracks where your Business Profile ranks in those Maps / Places results for each keyword, measured across a geo grid rather than from one spot.
What is a geo grid rank tracker?
A geo grid rank tracker places a grid of points over your service area — for example 5×5 or larger — and checks your Google Maps ranking from each point as if a customer were searching there. The result is a map of your local rankings instead of a single average.
Is it a local SEO heatmap tool?
Yes. Every scan is drawn as a color-coded heatmap, with each grid point colored by your rank there, so strong and weak neighborhoods stand out at a glance. You can compare heatmaps over time and see which competitor holds each point. Our guide on reading a local ranking heatmap explains how to use one.
Can I track rankings for multiple locations?
Yes. Each location in your account has its own scans, keywords, and history, so multi-location brands and agencies can track every location from one dashboard. Scans cost 2–5 credits each depending on grid size, and agencies can export white-label PDF reports.
How does it compare to Local Falcon or other map rank trackers?
Dedicated trackers such as Local Falcon offer deeper grid controls and reporting integrations. MyAds.Guru combines geo grid tracking with the tools that move rankings — AI posts, review replies, and profile fixes — in one plan from $29/month. See our roundup of the best Google Maps rank trackers for a fuller comparison.
Can I track competitors on the map too?
Yes. You can overlay the competitors winning each part of the grid, compare their coverage to yours keyword by keyword, and see exactly who you need to outrank in each neighborhood.
