Local Rank Tracker
Check your keyword positions on Google Maps and Apple Maps every week and see how they compare with the businesses you compete with.
Track your Google Maps ranking every week
A local rank tracker checks where your business appears in Google Maps and local search results for the keywords you choose. Rating Captain Local runs that check automatically every week and records your positions on Google Maps and Apple Maps for both desktop and mobile searches. You see where you stand now and how your rankings have moved since last week or last month.
Your positions are shown next to the rankings of competing businesses, so you can tell whether a drop affects only you or the whole local market. The tracker also analyzes the local search results page, including SERP features, and points out keyword opportunities where you have room to move up.
Reports are created automatically. Each month you get a ranking report that shows how your keyword positions developed over that period, so you can review the trend without collecting the data yourself. Use the weekly numbers to catch sudden ranking changes and the monthly report to judge whether your local SEO work is paying off.
