Local SERP Map: Rankings by Area
Check your Google Maps position for a keyword at many points on a map and find the areas where you rank well and where you fall behind.
A local rank checker for your whole area
A local SERP map shows where your business ranks in Google Maps for one keyword at many points across a map, rather than as a single number. It checks your Google Maps ranking across your whole area. Enter a keyword and you get a grid of ranking positions, your average rank and a list of the businesses competing with you for that search.
Google Maps results depend on where the person searching is, so the same business can rank first in one neighborhood and much lower a few miles away. The map shows those strong and weak areas: where you are already visible and where competitors appear ahead of you, so you know which parts of your area need more local SEO work.
Each check is saved, and a trend graph shows how your ranking for a keyword has changed over time. That history helps you see whether work on a weaker area is starting to show results. You can use the map for a single business or for a company with many locations.

Frequently asked questions
What is a local SERP map?
A local SERP map shows a business’s Google Maps position for one keyword at many points across an area, instead of a single ranking. SERP stands for search engine results page.
How is a map rank tracker different from a regular rank check?
A regular rank check gives you one position for a keyword. A map rank tracker checks the same keyword from many points on a map, so you can see how your position changes across town.
Why do Google Maps rankings vary by location?
Google’s local results weigh how relevant a business is, how far it is from the person searching and how prominent it is. That is why one business can rank differently in different parts of the same town.
Who should use a local SERP map?
Local business owners and teams that manage several locations. The map shows stronger and weaker areas so you can prioritize your local search work.
How do I rank higher on Google Maps?
Google ranks local results on relevance, distance and prominence. Distance is fixed, so work on the other two: choose the right categories, keep your profile complete and accurate, collect and answer reviews, and post regularly. The local SERP map then shows how your rank changes across your area.
