Run a local grid scan

Connect the correct business

Open Local Grid and connect the verified business profile when prompted. Confirm the business name and location before running a scan.

Choose a realistic keyword and area

Use a service or category customers search locally. Center the grid on the real service area and choose coverage appropriate to how far customers reasonably travel.

Run the baseline

Start the scan and preserve its keyword, center, spacing, date, and business selection. Grid points are sampled observations and may differ because of proximity, competition, profile relevance, and provider changes.

Read the pattern

Look for broad zones of strength or weakness rather than reacting to one point. Compare the map with actual service boundaries and known competitors.

Improve legitimate local signals

Keep profile facts accurate, strengthen useful location and service information, earn genuine reviews, and maintain consistent business details. Never create fake locations or incentivized reviews.

Compare consistently

Use comparable grid settings for later scans. Seasonal demand, profile changes, and search-system updates can influence movement.
