What is a local SEO heatmap?
A single rank number hides the truth. Your client might rank #1 in one neighbourhood and #18 two miles away - a single-number tracker reports an average that tells you nothing.
Grid of check points
We place a configurable grid across your city - from 3×3 (9 points) to 13×13 (169 points) - and check your Google Maps rank at every single point.
Colour-coded heatmap
Results display as a live heatmap: green for rank 1 to 3, amber for 4 to 7, red for 8+. Spot blind spots and winning zones at a glance.
Track changes over time
Run the heatmap on a schedule and compare any two dates side-by-side to see exactly how rankings shifted across the city.

Local SEO heatmap tool - FAQ
A local SEO heatmap tool visualises your Google Maps rankings as a colour-coded map across a city grid. Green means rank 1 to 3, amber means rank 4 to 7, red means rank 8 or lower. localseotool.io places a grid of checkpoints across your target area and shows your position at every point - so you instantly see where customers can find you and where you are invisible.
An SEO map ranking tool checks your Google Business Profile position for a keyword at multiple geographic locations, rather than a single point. The results are displayed as a visual map so you can spot ranking patterns across neighbourhoods, streets and city zones.
A local SEO grid tool overlays a configurable grid of check points over a city map and checks your Google Maps rank at each point. localseotool.io supports grids from 3×3 (9 points) up to 13×13 (169 points), with 5 grid shapes and custom spacing from 0.1 to 2 miles.
Each grid point sends a real Google Maps search from the actual geographic coordinates of that point. The rank returned is exactly what a user standing at that location would see when searching for your keyword. There is no averaging or estimation.
Not permanently, but you can try it free for 14 days. Every new localseotool.io account starts a 14-day free trial of Starter. A card is required, nothing is charged for 14 days, and you can cancel before day 14 and pay nothing. Starter includes 3 businesses, 25 keywords, heatmap grids up to 7×7, 60 rank reports per month, and 40 AI competitor analyses, then costs $9.99 per month. Pro ($29.99/mo) and Agency ($79.99/mo) are paid from day one and unlock larger grids, more businesses, and more volume. You can also start a quick map rank check from the box on this page without an account, and the Google Business Profile audit is free with no account.
A regular rank tracker gives you one number - your average position. A local SEO heatmap gives you a full visual picture: you can see that you rank #1 in the city centre but fall to #15 three miles away, or that one neighbourhood is a blind spot for your client. This level of insight is impossible with a single-point tracker.
