See your rankings
across every street.
Local Search Grid maps your Google Maps position at up to 121 points across your service area. Spot coverage gaps, find ranking blind spots, and show clients exactly where you dominate — and where you don't.
Included in every AuthorityStack.ai plan. Credits scale with grid size.
One ranking number hides the whole story
Google serves hyper-local results. Two customers searching the same keyword from opposite ends of your service area may see completely different results — you might be #1 near your premises and invisible two miles away. A single average ranking tells you nothing about where you're actually losing business.
Local Search Grid runs the same query from every point in a configurable geographic grid, giving you a heat map that instantly shows where you're dominant, where you're weak, and exactly how far your Google Maps visibility extends from your location.
Heat map in three steps
No code, no integrations, no waiting. Configure your grid, pin your location, and get your heat map in minutes.
Set your location and keywords
Paste your Google Business Profile URL (coordinates extracted automatically), enter an address or postcode, or use your brand's saved location. Add up to 5 keywords to scan in one run.
Choose your grid size and spacing
Pick a grid from 3×3 to 11×11 and set point spacing from 0.5 km to 5 km. A 5×5 grid at 1 km spacing covers a 4×4 km area — ideal for most service-area businesses.
View your heat map, export your report
Your colour-coded heat map appears instantly. Download as PNG, export a branded PDF for clients, and review competitor frequency across the grid.
Every feature you need to own your area
Local Search Grid is built for local SEO practitioners — from solo consultants to multi-location agency teams.
Geo heat map grid (3×3 to 11×11)
Choose from five grid sizes. A 3×3 gives a quick 9-point snapshot; an 11×11 plots 121 points across your full service territory for deep coverage analysis.
Configurable point spacing
Set spacing from 0.5 km (dense city-centre view) to 5 km (regional coverage). Match the grid to the actual scale of your service area.
Up to 5 keywords per scan
Run multiple keywords in a single scan session. Each keyword gets its own heat map, grouped together for easy comparison. Perfect for tracking all your core service types at once.
Flexible location input
Paste a Google Business Profile or Google Maps URL and coordinates are extracted automatically. Or enter any address, city, or postcode. Brand profile coordinates pre-fill the location field.
Competitor frequency analysis
See which competitors appear most often across your grid and how frequently. Understand the competitive landscape at a glance — ranked by grid-wide presence, not just one position.
PNG and PDF export
Download the heat map as a PNG image, or generate a full PDF report. Multi-keyword scans export as a consolidated group PDF with all heat maps included.
White-label branded reports
Customise exported reports with your company name, brand colour, and footer text. Deliver polished client reports without any AuthorityStack branding.
Centre-pin accuracy
The centre cell is highlighted and anchored to your exact GBP coordinates — the most accurate possible representation of where your business physically sits relative to the search grid.
Scan history and comparison
All scans are saved automatically. Revisit any previous scan to compare coverage before and after optimisation work — a clear before/after view for client reporting.
Location Groups — franchise & multi-location
Group multiple brands (each representing a location) and run one comparison scan across all of them. Same keyword, same grid, same spacing — individual heat maps plus a combined ranked PDF per run. Built for franchise operators and local SEO agencies.

Larger grids reveal more — but use more credits. Here's when to use each size.
Fast 9-point snapshot to verify you're appearing in the Local Pack around your premises. Ideal for a quick sanity check or initial scan before committing to a larger grid.
The sweet spot for most service-area businesses. 25 points at 1 km spacing covers a 4×4 km area — enough to see coverage patterns without breaking the credit budget.
49 points for businesses with a 5–10 km service radius. Shows where your ranking drops off as you move away from your premises — useful for identifying the edge of your visibility.
81 points for businesses serving multiple suburbs or neighbourhoods. Good for plumbers, HVAC, landscapers, and other trades with a wide but defined service area.
The maximum 121-point grid for comprehensive territory analysis. Best for agencies benchmarking a client's entire market or businesses competing across an entire metro area.
