FAQ
What does a geo-grid scan prove?
It proves what Google returned — the business's local pack and Maps position per point at that time. A frozen-design series of scans supports the inference of movement; see the method entry.
What can scans never prove?
Causation between work and movement, and business outcomes like calls or revenue — limits stated in the evidence policy.
What is LocalRank?
LocalRank is local SEO software that tracks Google Maps and local pack rankings on a geo-grid for agencies and multi-location businesses, per its canonical record at localrank.so.
Who founded LocalRank?
LocalRank was co-founded by Peter and Jacky Chou — a fact published on the canonical site.
How much does LocalRank cost?
Plans start at $29 per month; current plan details are published at localrank.so.
Does this site claim LocalRank is the best local SEO software?
