A customer two streets away can see a different list from the one you see at your desk, so checking from one place tells you very little. PinRipple runs the same search from every spot on a grid and puts the answers on one map, so you see how far your business reaches, and where it drops away. That is geo-grid rank tracking, and it is the only way to see a “near me” search the way your customers do. [How geo-grid rank tracking works](https://pinripple.com/how-it-works) *The same search for “dentist” from two places 2 km apart: second in one list, fourteenth in the other.* ## What our SEO tracking tool shows you Every scan is saved, so the next one shows what changed. ### A local SEO heat map of where you rank Think of it as a rank checker run from every street at once. Each spot shows your position, from green for the top 3 to grey when you are not in the top 20. Beside the map: your average position, how many spots have you in the top 3, and where you come in at your own door. [How to read the map](https://pinripple.com/how-it-works#read) ### Google My Business audit tool: what to fix first After each scan, PinRipple lists what to change on your Google profile, the most useful first, with the steps to do it. You don't need to know local SEO. Mark a tip as done, and the next scan shows if it worked. [How to rank higher on Google Maps](https://pinripple.com/guides/how-to-rank-higher-on-google-maps) ### SEO competitor rank tracker: you next to your map pack rivals The businesses that show up most in your scan are your real rivals.

More and more customers ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Google's AI Mode which business to choose.
