Local rank tracker

Google Maps rank tracker for your Business Profile

Pinhelm checks where a Google Business Profile shows up on Google Maps, then drafts the post or the review reply in AI Studio. The draft stays in your account. Pinhelm does not publish it to Google.

Example 3×3 geo-grid. Sample positions for an example keyword. Not a live rank check and not a customer result.

How local rank tracking works

Local SEO rank tracking here means a keyword, a coordinate, and a Google Maps result. Three steps, all inside the dashboard.

  1. Step 1

    Track the profile

    Add the Google Business Profile to the organization. Free and Starter include 1 tracked profile, Pro 10, and Agency 40.

  2. Step 2

    Run the rank check

    Choose a point (Teleport), several pins, or a geo-grid. Pinhelm reads live Google Maps results through SerpApi. Each pin uses one scan credit.

  3. Step 3

    Draft the copy

    AI Studio writes a GBP post, a review reply, a description, Q&A, category suggestions, or photo alt text. You copy it out. Nothing is sent to Google.

What you can do today

Compared with other Google Business Profile management software, Pinhelm covers rank checks, audits, a monitoring feed, and drafts. It does not schedule posts, sync citations, or send review requests.

Google Business Profile rank tracker

A Google Maps rank checker with three modes. Geo-grid is a geogrid rank tracker: each cell is a coordinate around the profile, capped at 3×3 on Free, 5×5 on Starter, and 7×7 on Pro and Agency. Use it to see where a business ranks on Google for one keyword. It does not change that rank.

AI Studio drafts

A GBP post generator and an AI Google review reply generator, plus the business description, Q&A, category suggestions, and photo alt text. One credit is 1,000 tokens, rounded up, minimum 1. AI Studio drafts are not included on Free. Starter includes 100 credits a month, Pro 1,000, and Agency 4,000.

Chrome extension

Coming soon

A Chrome extension in the repository can read a Google Maps page you already have open. There is no Chrome Web Store listing, so there is nothing to install yet.

Audits and competitors

Profiles keep an audit score. Audit types in the product are basic, review, post, website, and photo. A profile can also show a competitor comparison from the sets you store.

Monitoring, teams, and Agency reporting

The feed records category, name, and address changes and new reviews when an extraction is submitted. A job every 6 hours flags incomplete profiles and possible duplicates. Teammates are invited by email. Agency adds white-label PDF reports, a client portal link, bulk export, and a read-only API for profiles and snapshots.

  • Agency AI Studio credits are a hard cap of 4,000 per month. The cap does not increase by contacting support.
  • Free rank checks are manual only. Starter rank checks can be scheduled weekly. Pro and Agency can be daily or weekly. A monitoring job still sweeps every organization every 6 hours for incomplete profiles and possible duplicates.

Questions

What does this Google Maps rank tracker actually check?

A rank check looks up one keyword at one or more coordinates in Google Maps through SerpApi. Modes are a single point (labeled Teleport in the dashboard), multi-pin, and geo-grid. One scan credit is one map pin. Free includes 9 scan credits a month, which is one 3×3 check, after the owner email is verified. Those credits reset each month and do not roll over. Starter includes 200, Pro 700, and Agency 1,750. A simulated transport exists for offline development only.

How do I rank on Google Maps?

Pinhelm does not rank your business. It reports where a tracked profile appears for a keyword in Google Maps results. Changing that position is work you do on the profile and the site.

Is there a Google Business Profile rank checker?

Yes. The rankings screen checks a Google Business Profile with point, multi-pin, and geo-grid searches. Grid size is capped at 3×3 on Free, 5×5 on Starter, and 7×7 on Pro and Agency.

Does AI Studio publish posts or review replies to Google?

No. AI Studio drafts a post, a review reply, a business description, Q&A, category suggestions, or photo alt text, and stores the draft in Pinhelm. It does not post, reply, or edit the profile on Google. There is no Google write client in the product.

What do AI Studio credits include?

AI Studio is not included on Free. Starter includes 100 credits a month, Pro 1,000, and Agency 4,000. The Agency number is a hard cap. One credit is 1,000 tokens, rounded up, with a minimum of 1 credit when a call uses tokens. An identical repeat for the same organization can be served from a 24-hour cache without another credit. An empty or truncated model reply refunds the reserved credit.

Is the Chrome extension available?

No. There is no Chrome Web Store listing. The extension in the repository is not something you can install from the store. It is marked coming soon.

What does local SEO rank tracking cost?

Free is $0. Starter is $29 a month or $290 a year. Pro is $99 a month or $990 a year. Agency is $249 a month or $2,490 a year. A 14-day Pro trial needs a card and caps usage at 100 scan credits and 50 AI credits.

What does monitoring cover?

The dashboard can record category, name, and address changes and new reviews when a profile extraction is submitted. A scheduled job every 6 hours checks tracked profiles for missing fields and possible duplicates. The plan table also stores a monitoring interval (daily, every 6 hours, or hourly). That per-plan interval is not what the scheduler uses today.
