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.

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.
