How do I see my local rankings?

Updated 1 min read

On this page

Local rankings shows whether your business appears in Google's map results (the box of three businesses with a map, often called the map pack) for your tracked keywords, and where. Open it from Local in the menu.

It uses the same weekly check as the Rank tracker, so it costs nothing extra and updates every Sunday. It appears once our search data provider is switched on for your account.

What you see

  • With map results, You are in the pack and In the top 3 of the map: how many of your searches show map results, how many you appear in, and how many put you in the first three.
  • Map results by search: whether map results showed, and your place in them on desktop and on mobile. Tick Only searches with map results to hide the rest.
  • Your competitors' places in the same map pack.

Getting into the map pack

The map results come from Google Business Profiles. The things that help most are a complete profile, reviews, and your business details matching across the web. The Local SEO setup card walks through them. See local SEO setup.

Questions people ask

Why do none of my keywords show a map pack?

Google shows map results for searches with local intent, such as "plumber leeds" or "cafe near me". Track keywords that name your service and your towns. See local keyword research.

Is this the same as Google Maps?

No. This is the map box on Google's normal results page, checked from your project's country. Results on the Google Maps app can differ.
