Questions owners ask

Is the Google Maps rank check really free?

Yes. You can run one check before you sign in, then track up to 5 searches on the free plan. No card needed.

Do you guarantee rankings?

No. Nobody honest can. We show you where you stand and help you fix what Google says matters: relevance, distance and prominence.

What does the paid plan cost?

Starter is A$29 a month including GST, with more searches and a bigger map. The free plan stays free.

Do I need a website?

No, but it helps. If you need one, our sister brand SMB Sites builds websites for local businesses.
