Next to your SEO data
Keyword research, Site Audit and Rank Tracking live in the same project as your local scans, under one login.
How the local rank checker works
Four steps take you from your business name to a full rank map.
Find your business
Type your business name and pick it from the Google Maps suggestions. If it's in another city, set the location field first.
Set up the grid
Pick a grid from 3×3 to 9×9 and the distance between points, then center it on your business or on any address.
Enter one keyword
Type the search your customers use, like "coffee shop near me" or "plumber in Austin". Each scan checks one keyword.
Review and run
Check the credit cost and your balance, then run the scan. The map fills in point by point while you keep working.
Check your Google Maps ranking at every point on the grid
Every pin shows your exact Google Maps rank from that spot. Green is the top 3, yellow is 4 to 10, red is 11 to 20 and dark brown is 21 or lower. Gray pins mark points where you're not ranked.

Your local SEO rank at a glance
Four metrics sum up every scan, so you know in seconds how visible your business is across the area. Coverage is the share of grid points where your business ranks in the top 3 or the top 10.

The full results behind every pin
Click any pin to see up to 100 businesses in the order Google Maps ranks them at that spot. Your business is marked, so you can see exactly who outranks you there.
- Rank, rating, review count and address for each business
- Search the list for any competitor
- Compare how the order changes across the map
Share the results as a PDF
Export any scan as a PDF and send it to a client, your team or the business owner, so everyone sees the same picture. Exporting doesn't use credits.

A local SEO tool inside the SEO tool you already use
Most local SEO software is a separate subscription. In Ubersuggest, local scans sit next to your keyword research, Site Audit and Rank Tracking, and use the credits in your plan.
No extra subscription
Local SEO is included in every paid plan. Each scan uses 3 to 9 credits from the allowance you already have.
Every scan is saved
Scans stay in Recent Scans with no expiration. Open one anytime, or rerun it with the same settings to compare.
Why your rank changes from one street to the next
Google Maps ranks businesses partly by how close they are to the person searching. That's why you can be first for "coffee shop" on your own block and missing from the results a mile away.
Checking from your own phone only shows one spot. A local scan simulates a search from the exact location of each grid point, so you see how your local SEO rank changes across the whole area.
Who uses Ubersuggest's local SEO tools
Local businesses
Cafés, gyms, clinics and shops that serve people nearby. Find the neighborhoods where customers can't find you yet.
SEO consultants and agencies
Keep each client's scans in their own project, then export a PDF report when it's time to show their progress.
Anyone measuring local SEO
Run a scan before you update your listing or site, then rerun it with the same settings to see which points improved.
What a local scan costs
Local SEO is included in every paid Ubersuggest plan. Scans use credits from your plan's monthly allowance, the cost depends on the grid size, and you see it before the scan runs.
Opening a saved scan, clicking pins and exporting a PDF don't use credits. A rerun costs the same as a new scan, and if a scan fails, its credits go back to your balance.

|---|---|---|
| 3×3 | 9 | 3 |
| 5×5 | 25 | 5 |
| 7×7 | 49 | 7 |
| 9×9 | 81 | 9 |
Local SEO checker FAQ
01What is local SEO?
Local SEO is the work of getting a business to show up when people nearby search for what it offers, especially in Google Maps and the map results at the top of Google Search. Google ranks these results by how relevant a business is to the search, how far it is from the person searching, and how well known it is.
02How do I check my Google Maps ranking?
Open Local SEO and choose New Scan. Search for your business, set up the grid, enter one keyword and run the scan. You get a map with your Google Maps rank at every point, plus your Average rank, Top 3 coverage and Top 10 coverage.
03How do I find my business in the search?
Start typing your business name and Ubersuggest suggests matching Google Maps listings with their address, rating and number of reviews. If you don't see yours, set the location field to the city where your business is, then search again.
04Do I need to connect my Google Business Profile?
No. You only search for your business by name. Ubersuggest uses public Google Maps results, so there's nothing to connect or verify.
05What can I customize in a scan?
You choose the business, the scan center (your business address or any other address), the grid size from 3×3 to 9×9, the distance between points from ¼ to 2 miles or ½ to 5 kilometers, and the keyword.
06Why is my Google Maps rank different at each point?
Google Maps ranks businesses partly by how close they are to the person searching. Each grid point simulates a search from that exact spot, so your rank changes as the distance to your business changes.
07What does "NR" mean on the map?
NR means Not ranked: your business didn't appear in the Google Maps results at that point.
08How many credits does a local scan use?
A 3×3 grid uses 3 credits, 5×5 uses 5, 7×7 uses 7 and 9×9 uses 9. You see the exact cost before the scan runs. Opening a saved scan doesn't use credits, and a rerun costs the same as a new scan.
09What happens if my scan fails?
You can try again or contact support, and the credits for the failed scan go back to your balance.
10Can I check more than one keyword in a scan?
Each scan checks one keyword. Run a separate scan for each keyword you want to check. Ubersuggest remembers your business and grid settings, so you only need to type the new keyword.
11Which Ubersuggest plans include Local SEO?
Local SEO is included in every paid Ubersuggest plan, and scans use the credits in your plan. Check the pricing page to compare how many credits each plan includes.
