Frequently asked questions
It breaks your neighborhood into a visual grid so you can see exactly where you’re winning and where a competitor might be winning. Once you see the real picture of your local reach, you’ll know exactly where to focus your marketing energy.
For more detailed long-term tracking, we have two options. Local Search Grid, and the more traditional Local Rank Tracker. Both come as standard in all our BrightLocal local SEO plans and offer the perfect blend of breadth and depth in your local rank tracking.
While no tool can 100% replicate a human’s unique search history, the Local Search Grid is much more accurate than traditional trackers because it accounts for the “proximity effect.” It shows you the truth of how rankings drop off as you move away from your front door, giving you a map of your real-world visibility.
When setting up your report, just follow these instructions.
