About

GridBeacon is a geo‑grid rank tracker that scans real Google Maps searches across your service area, giving street‑level heatmaps of your Google Business Profile rankings. It automatically identifies where competitors dominate and provides AI‑generated action plans to improve visibility. No API keys or complicated setup are required—just enter your business name, keyword and grid size. With free credits and a credit‑based pricing model, you can start mapping your local visibility immediately.

The case

Who it is for

Local business owners and independent SEO professionals who need precise street‑level visibility data for Google Maps and Google Business Profiles.

What is broken today

Local businesses often rely on city‑wide rank trackers that miss street‑level variations, making it hard to pinpoint where competitors outperform them. Generic tools lack real GPS‑based searches, so visibility gaps remain invisible. There is no straightforward, cost‑effective way to see exact ranking positions across a service area without manual effort.

What it does about it

GridBeacon sets up a customizable grid over your service area and runs a real Google Maps search from each coordinate point. Each scan records the ranking position, competitor details, and visibility score for that exact spot. The results are visualized in an interactive heatmap, and AI‑driven reports suggest prioritized actions. Credits are consumed per point, allowing precise control over costs.

Why not the obvious alternative

Unlike generic rank trackers, GridBeacon uses actual street‑level GPS coordinates, eliminating the need for API keys or complex configuration. It offers free credits for a quick start and a credit‑based pricing model that scales with usage. Competitor grids are included at every tier, and AI action plans generate client‑ready PDFs—all features that other local SEO tools typically bundle in higher‑priced or separate products.
