See exactly where you rank on Google Maps
Track your Google Business Profile rankings across every neighborhood, every day. A grid-based map scan shows your position from each point in your service area — not just the spot Google picks for you.
Real local rankings, not a single biased data point
Google Maps ranks differently from every physical location. Localghost's grid scan checks your rank from dozens of points across your service area so you see the truth — and watch it improve as you take action.
Grid map scan
Pick a center point and radius. Localghost runs your keyword from a 3×3, 5×5 or 7×7 grid of locations and plots every result on the map.
Daily rank tracking
Add keywords once; Localghost checks your position daily. See trend lines per keyword, average rank, top-3 / top-10 percentage at a glance.
Before/after comparison
Save a baseline scan, then re-scan after an optimization. Side-by-side diff shows exactly which grid cells climbed, which dropped and by how much.

Frequently asked questions
What does a grid map scan show?
Your Google Maps rank for a keyword as seen from many physical points across your service area. Different neighborhoods often see different rankings — the grid surfaces that variance.
How often does Localghost track rank?
Daily. Each tracked keyword refreshes once per 24 hours. You can also trigger a manual re-scan anytime.
Can I track competitors?
Yes. Pin up to 100 competing businesses per keyword. Localghost tracks their rank alongside yours so you see the full competitive picture.
What grid size should I use?
Start with 5×5 (25 points). Larger grids (7×7 = 49 points) show more granular variation but cost more from the tracking quota. 3×3 is a quick spot-check.
Will tracking hurt my profile?
No. Localghost queries Google like a regular search; nothing is sent to your profile or visible to Google as activity. Your business data stays untouched.
