Google Maps rank checker
for your whole service area
LPagery's free Google Maps rank checker runs a real Maps search for your keyword from 25 points around your business address and shows your position at each one. You don't need an account. It's built for local businesses and agencies who want to see what customers across town see when they search.
Why most local businesses struggle to get found on Google Maps
Without knowing where you rank, you can't fix what's broken.
Sound familiar?
- You don't know if your business shows up in the top 3 on Google Maps
- Competitors seem to always appear above you
- You've worked on your Google Business Profile but nothing changed
- You rank well when you search from your office, but customers say they can't find you
- You don't know which parts of town you're missing from
What you need
A clear picture of your Google Maps visibility
- Your Google Maps position from 25 points around your business
- The parts of your area where you drop out of the top 3
- The business that ranks right above you at each point
- The first fix for the page on your website that should rank
That's what the free Google Maps rank checker shows you.
What the local rank checker shows you
Every result comes from a real Google Maps search at that point, checked down to position 50.
Geo-grid check
Your rank at 25 points
LPagery places a 5 by 5 grid over your service area, centred on your address, and searches Google Maps from each point. You set how far the grid reaches, from 1 to 100 km or miles.
Competitors
Who ranks above you
Click any point on the grid to see the business ranked directly above you there, so you know who you're up against in that part of town.
Keywords
Keywords from your services
LPagery suggests local keywords from the services you list and pre-selects the ten with the most searches. You can deselect any that don't fit. The free check maps your top keyword.
Summary
Average rank and top 3 coverage
You get your average position across all points, the share of points where you're in the top 3, and how much of your area sees you in the top 20. Points where you don't appear count as position 50.

Why your ranking changes from street to street
Google ranks Maps results for the person searching, so a plumber can be first for someone two streets away and missing for someone across town. Google names three factors: how relevant your profile is to the search, how far you are from the searcher, and how prominent your business is, which includes reviews, links and mentions across the web.
Relevance
Your primary category, services and business description have to match what people search for. The primary category has the biggest effect.
Distance
You can't change where you are, but a website page for each area you serve helps Google connect your business to searches from there.
Prominence
Steady new reviews, consistent name, address and phone number across directories, and links from local sites all count here.
How to read a geo-grid
A rank grid places points around your business and checks your position from each one. Strong results near your address that fade at the edges are normal. If you only rank on your own street, work on relevance and reviews first. If you rank well in one direction and not another, a competitor is probably stronger there, and a landing page for that area is the next step.

Checking your Google Maps ranking by hand or with a grid
When you search your own keyword in Google Maps, you see the results for the spot you're standing on. That's usually your office, where you rank best. A grid check runs the same search from many points, so you see what customers in other parts of your area see.
| Searching yourself | LPagery rank checker | |
|---|---|---|
| Where the search comes from | Wherever you are, usually close to your business | 25 points spread across your service area |
| Personal results | Your account and past searches can change what you see | Each point is a separate search at fixed coordinates |
| How deep it looks | You scroll and count by hand | Positions 1 to 50 at every point |
| Competitors | You note who shows up above you | The business right above you at each point |
| Repeating the check | By hand, each time | Every week on an AI Rank Tracker plan |
From one check to weekly Google Maps rank tracking
The free check is a snapshot of one keyword today. To see whether your changes move you up, the Local Rank Tracker in the AI Rank Tracker re-runs your grid every week for each keyword you track. Plans cover 10, 25 or 50 keywords, and service areas wider than 3 km get a 7 by 7 grid with 49 points.
The AI Rank Tracker also checks whether ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot and Google AI Mode mention your business for prompts that name your city. Google Maps now answers questions with Gemini as well, and our guide on how to use Ask Maps in Google Maps shows how those answers work.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a Google Maps rank checker?
A Google Maps rank checker shows where your business appears in Google Maps results for a keyword. LPagery's checker runs that search from 25 points around your address, so you see your position in each part of your area.
- How do I check my Google Maps ranking?
You can search your keyword in Google Maps and count the businesses above yours, but that only shows the results for where you're standing. For a wider view, start the free check, confirm your address and how far you serve customers, then LPagery searches from 25 points in that area.
- Why is my ranking different in another part of town?
Google ranks Maps results partly by how close a business is to the person searching. A customer a few kilometres away sees a different list than you do at your office, and a competitor closer to them can rank above you there. That's why the checker searches from many points.
- Is the Google Maps rank checker free?
Yes. The first check is free and you don't need an account. It covers your top keyword on a 25-point grid. Weekly tracking for more keywords is part of the AI Rank Tracker, which you can try free for 7 days.
- What's the difference between a local rank checker and a local rank tracker?
A local rank checker shows where you rank today. A local rank tracker repeats the check on a schedule, so you can see whether changes to your profile and website move you up. The free check here is the first, and the AI Rank Tracker re-checks your grid every week.
- How many points does the grid check?
The free check uses a 5 by 5 grid with 25 points, centred on your address. The outer points sit at the service radius you set. On an AI Rank Tracker plan, areas wider than 3 km get a 7 by 7 grid with 49 points.
- Do I need to connect my Google Business Profile?
You don't need to connect it. You pick your address from Google's address search, and LPagery finds your listing in the Maps results by its place, website or name.
- How is this different from regular Google rank tracking?
Regular rank trackers check the organic web results. A Google Maps rank checker looks at the Maps results, which Google ranks separately and partly by where the searcher is.
- How often should I check my Google Maps ranking?
We recommend once a week, and again a few days after you change your profile or website. Rankings move with new reviews, competitor activity and Google updates.
- How long does it take to move up on Google Maps?
Changes to your Google Business Profile, such as the primary category, can show within a few days. Reviews and links build up more slowly, usually over several weeks to a few months.
- Does my website affect my Google Maps ranking?
Yes. Google uses your website to confirm what your business does and where it works. Pages for each service and area you cover, with your address and phone number, help your profile rank for those searches.
