See your Google Maps rankings across every neighborhood.

To find your blindspots. You might rank #1 at your office, but be invisible three blocks away where a major competitor is dominant. GeckoGrid lets you see exactly where your authority drops off so you can stop guessing and start focusing your SEO (content, backlinks, GBP updates) on the specific neighborhoods where you're losing. It also helps you defend your turf: if a new competitor pops up in a corner of your grid, you'll see it on the heatmap long before you notice your phone stopping ringing.

Absolutely. As long as you keep your grid size consistent (e.g., always running a 5×5), you can compare today's scan against one from next month to visually prove your SEO efforts are "turning the map green."

GeckoGrid launches a local Chrome-based scanner, sets each grid point as the search location, and reads the live Google Maps results returned at that point.

GeckoGrid runs searches from your own computer and IP instead of buying results from a metered cloud API. Results can still vary with timing, personalization, and changes in Google Maps, so consistent grid settings are important when comparing scans.

We don't recommend it. Because a 7×7 grid changes the distance between scan points, the "density" of the data changes. For the most accurate before-and-after reporting, pick a grid size for a project and stick with it.

A 7x7 local scan often takes around 10 minutes, but timing varies with your concurrency setting, network, computer, and Google Maps response times. GeckoGrid spaces requests deliberately and processes queued scans one at a time.

Local Scans run right on your machine: free, unlimited, and ideal for single locations and everyday check-ins. API Scans (Agency and Lifetime plans) connect your own DataForSEO account and pull rankings through professional datacenter infrastructure. Entire grids finish in seconds and scale to every client and keyword with no pacing limits; a 7x7 grid runs $0.03 to $0.10 depending on scan speed. Use local for smaller scans, API for bulk work and hands-off AI-agent workflows. Both work with GeckoGrid's built-in MCP server.

GeckoGrid uses configurable delays and conservative concurrency limits. After 40 scans in one local day, its safety guardrail reduces concurrency to one. No automation can guarantee that Google will never rate-limit or block an IP, so use a steady recurring schedule instead of large bursts.

Yes. Put any project on a weekly, biweekly, or monthly schedule, choose the time, and scan all keywords or a selected subset. The project does not need to be open, but GeckoGrid must remain running or minimized to the tray and the computer must stay awake.

The AI & MCP page runs a local Model Context Protocol server with 28 tools and seven analyst skills. Copy its generated setup prompt into a compatible AI agent, restart that agent session, and it can read projects, analyze results, and trigger or schedule scans. GeckoGrid and the agent must run on the same machine.

A Windows PC or Mac (Apple Silicon) and Google Chrome. Once Chrome is installed, you're ready to launch GeckoGrid and start your first scan.

The $19 Solo plan covers solo local tracking with every core feature. The $39 Agency plan adds DataForSEO API scanning with your own key plus 10 machines for team use. The $249 Lifetime license is a one-time purchase that includes everything Agency has, forever. Monthly plans start with a 7-day free trial, all three use the same Polar checkout, and none charge per-grid-point credits.

Yes. There are no limits on how many businesses or locations you can scan. As long as it's installed on one of your licensed machines (3 to 10 machines depending on plan), you can use it for as many clients as you want. There's no cost per client.

As many as you need. Projects and scans live in a local database on your own machine, with no account limits or cloud caps. The only ceiling is your storage, and scans are tiny: a busy agency running hundreds of scans a month stays well under a gigabyte a year. A built-in retention setting keeps history tidy automatically.
