Geogrid Rank Scan

Map local pack rankings across a geographic grid centered on a location. Returns a rank matrix showing where a business ranks from each grid point, plus an Average Grid Rank (AGR) score. Supports 5x5, 7x7, and 9x9 grids.

When to use this

You want to see where your business ranks on Google Maps from different parts of your city — not just from one location, but from a grid of 25 to 81 points around your area. It's like checking your ranking from every neighborhood at once. Shows you exactly which parts of town you dominate and where you're invisible.
