Local SEO Rank Tracker: Map Your Google Maps Position on a Geo Grid
Drop one skill into your AI assistant and turn Google Maps rankings into a clear local heatmap, point by point.
It scans a geographic grid of search points around your business and turns your Google Maps position into a plain-language local ranking heatmap with an average position, a top 3 visibility score, and a month over month trend.
Any AI assistant that reads a SKILL.md file (Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex). You do not need a separate app, a subscription, or a coding setup. A local ranking data connection is used to fetch the grid scans, and the skill walks you through connecting it in plain language.
Works with
This is a local SEO rank tracker packaged as a single SKILL.md file you drop into your own AI assistant. Instead of guessing where you sit in the Google Maps map pack, it runs a geo grid scan: dozens of real search points spread around your business, each one asking Google Maps who ranks for your keyword from that exact spot. The result is a local ranking heatmap that shows where you win the top 3, where you slip, and where you disappear. Built as a data analyst skill, it explains every number in plain language (average position, share of top 3 visibility, competitors ahead of you), always stamps the scan date so you never mistake an old report for today, and asks before it spends anything. It works as a google maps ranking checker for a single keyword or a full local rank tracker across every service you offer.
- See your real Google Maps position as a visual heatmap, not a single number that hides where you are actually invisible
- Track the map pack across a whole city: know which neighborhoods rank you top 3 and which ones never see you
- Get every metric in plain English (average position, top 3 visibility, where to improve) instead of raw SEO jargon
- Compare month over month on the exact same area, so a trend means a real gain or loss, not a moved scan
- Know who is beating you at each point, with their ratings and review counts, so you can plan the catch up
- Never confuse an old report for a live one: every result is stamped with the scan date and an age flag
- 1Drop the skill into your assistant
Add the SKILL.md file to Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex. There is nothing to install and no code to write. The assistant reads the skill and knows how to run local ranking scans on request.
- 2Tell it your business and keyword
Give it your business name, city, and the search term you care about (for example your main service plus your city). It finds the business location for you and confirms it back before doing anything.
- 3Approve the scan area first
Before spending anything, it shows a plain-language briefing: which city and neighborhoods the grid covers, the radius, how many measurement points, and the estimated cost. You confirm, adjust the radius, or change the center. Nothing runs without your yes.
- 4It scans the geo grid
The skill fires a scan across a grid of real search points (for example 7 by 7) around your business. Each point is an actual Google Maps search from that location, so you see how visibility changes block by block.
- 5You get the heatmap and the numbers
It returns your position at each point as a heatmap, plus your average position, your top 3 visibility score, how many points you win, and the competitors ranking ahead of you, all explained in simple terms with the scan date on top.
- 6Track it over time
Run one scan per month on the same area and the skill builds the month over month trend automatically, showing which services climbed, which slipped, and by how many positions. It warns you if the area changed so you never compare apples to oranges.
- 7Export a clean report
Ask for a shareable report and it produces a branded PDF with the real Google Maps view, the heatmap, a region by region breakdown, the competitors ahead, and a simple action plan, ready to send to a client or keep on file.
- A local ranking heatmap showing your Google Maps position at every grid point
- An average position and a top 3 visibility score for each keyword
- A month over month trend table showing which services climbed or slipped
- A competitor panel listing who ranks ahead of you with ratings and reviews
- A branded PDF report with the real map, region breakdown, and an action plan
- A dated scan record you can compare against future scans on the same area
Single keyword spot check
Point it at one keyword and one location to get a fast read on where you rank in the map pack right now, ideal before a sales call or a strategy decision.
Full service tracker
Scan every service you offer across your service area and get one dashboard of average position and top 3 visibility per service, so you see your whole local footprint at a glance.
Recurring monitor
Set it to scan on a schedule (for example weekly or monthly) on a fixed area, so the trend builds itself and you catch drops before they cost you calls.

What does this local SEO rank tracker skill actually do?
It scans a grid of search points around your business and shows your Google Maps position at each one as a heatmap, along with your average position, your top 3 visibility, the competitors ahead of you, and a month over month trend. It turns local ranking from a guess into a clear picture, all explained in plain language.
Does it work with Claude, Cursor, and Codex?
Yes. It is a SKILL.md file, so it runs in any AI assistant that reads skills, including Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. You drop the file in and ask it to run a scan.
Do I need to install anything or set up code?
No app to install and no coding needed. You add the skill file to your assistant and use plain language. A local ranking data connection is used to pull the grid scans, and the skill walks you through connecting it step by step.
How is a geo grid scan better than just searching my own name?
Searching from your own screen only tells you your position from one spot, which can be flattering. A geo grid runs real searches from dozens of points across your area, so you see where you actually rank in each neighborhood, including the blocks where you never show up in the map pack.
Will it spend anything without asking?
No. Before any scan it shows you the area, the number of points, and the estimated cost, then waits for your confirmation. You can change the radius, move the center, or cancel first. Nothing runs until you say yes.
Do I need SEO or design skills to use it?
No. Every metric is translated into plain English (average position, appears in the top 3, points where you show up), and the report is generated for you as a clean branded PDF. You just tell it your business, city, and keyword.
