The report runs on the Rating Captain engine, trusted by
- Your rank at every point across your area
- The competitors above you, named
- Where to focus first
Your own phone shows the wrong ranking
Google rebuilds the map results for every search, based on where the searcher is standing. When you search from behind your counter, you’re at the one spot on the map where you’re closest to the customer, so you look like you rank first.
A customer three streets away, or on the other side of town, gets a different list. For them the top three might all be competitors, with you nowhere in sight. And most people never look past those first three.
You can be number one in your own head and absent for half the people searching for you.

How owners check today, and why it misleads
| What you do | What you learn | What you miss |
|---|---|---|
| Search from your own phone, at the shop | That you rank well, at one spot | Every other spot on the map, and who outranks you there |
| Ask friends across town to search | A few scattered results | No competitors named, no keyword choice, nothing to compare next month |
| Pay an SEO agency for an audit | A thorough picture | A monthly fee before you know whether there is anything to fix |
| Do nothing | – | The three businesses in the pack keep taking the calls |
| Free Google visibility report | Your rank at every grid point across your area, the competitors above you at each one, for the words customers actually use | Nothing to pay. On screen and in your inbox in minutes |
Your real visibility, on one map, free
If you could design the ideal check, it would look at your whole area rather than one spot, name the competitors above you, use the words customers actually type, and cost nothing until you know there’s something to fix. That is what the report does.
The whole area, not one spot
A grid of search points across the area you choose, from 500 m to 10 km, shows your rank at each one.
Competitors named at every point
See exactly which businesses appear ahead of you, and where on the map they win.
The words customers really use
Pick your own search phrase or take a suggested one, so you measure “best pizza near me”, not your own brand name.
