Monitor a saved business across selected Google Maps queries with consistent country, language, and listing-match rules. Review current and best position, movement, trend, visibility, returned competitors, analysis status, and exports without relying on one personalized manual search.
Too Long; Didn't Read
Screpy Map Tracker monitors a saved business across selected Google Maps keyword result sets. It keeps the query, country, language, business match rules, current and best position, movement, returned businesses, history, status, and exports together for a repeatable local ranking review.
A reliable local ranking baseline starts with a deliberate query, stable market settings, and rules that identify the intended business instead of a similarly named listing.
Save the service, product, city, neighbourhood, or near-me query that represents how a customer may look for the business in Google Maps.
Keep the Google country and interface language attached to every keyword so later positions are compared within the same market context.
Identify the intended listing with title, website domain, full URL, address, or Place ID rules instead of accepting a similarly named result.
Let scheduled analyses build current position, change, best position, trend, and status history for the saved keyword and business match.
Use the keyword’s saved business rules to identify the correct Google Maps result by title, website, address, or Place ID before a position is recorded.
Review current and best position, change, trend, average position, visibility score, Top 3 coverage, analysis status, and freshness without reducing the decision to one number.
Review the other businesses returned for the same Google Maps keyword, preserve country and language context, and export the current table when a stakeholder needs the evidence.
Keep the comparison stable, verify the matched listing and competing results, then investigate the business and website signals that could justify a change.
Use a stable identifier whenever possible and preview the saved rules carefully. A position is not useful when the tracker matched a similarly named business.
Hold the keyword, country, language, and business rules steady. Changing the query or market creates a different result set rather than a clean before-and-after comparison.
Compare current, previous, and best positions with the trend, visibility score, returned businesses, analysis status, and last-analysis time.
Review the query, business details, relevant website page, and Google’s relevance, distance, and prominence signals. Change only what is accurate, then wait for later comparable analyses.
Portfolio metrics help you find movement. The keyword row, matched business, returned result set, trend, and freshness provide the evidence needed to interpret it.
The matched business position in the latest completed Google Maps result set, or a clear not-ranking state when no result matches the saved rules.
The movement from the previous comparable analysis plus a compact history that makes repeated gains or declines easier to distinguish from one fluctuation.
The strongest recorded position for the tracked keyword and business, kept beside the current result for historical context.
The mean current position across tracked keywords that have a matched ranking result in the selected project view.
A portfolio score that gives full weight to Top 3 rankings, partial weight to positions 4–10, and no weight to lower or unmatched results.
Counts of tracked keywords whose matched business appears in the highest Google Maps position groups.
The other businesses found for the same keyword provide result-set context when the tracked listing gains, loses, or disappears from view.
Last-analysis time and completed, pending, or failed states show whether a position is current enough to use in a decision or report.
The report is most useful when each keyword represents a real customer search, each movement has an owner, and every change can be reviewed again after later comparable analyses.
Track the searches that combine a real service with the city or neighbourhood a business serves, while keeping each query and market setting explicit.
Follow the same keyword set after a meaningful business-profile, service-page, location-page, or local-content change without treating one early movement as proof.
Review the businesses returned for the same query to see whether the tracked listing moved alone or the local result set changed more broadly.
Export the current table to CSV or Excel so agencies and in-house teams can report keyword, market, position, change, best result, and freshness together.
Screpy keeps the monitored keyword evidence clear without presenting a single result set as a geo-grid, a causal ranking diagnosis, or a guarantee about every customer’s search.
Map Tracker follows saved keyword result sets with country and language context. It does not currently produce a multi-pin heatmap across a neighbourhood.
Google Maps results can vary with location, timing, language, device, personalization, business state, and result layout. Treat each analysis as a repeatable monitoring sample.
A position change does not prove which listing, website, review, category, competitor, or proximity signal caused it. Use the report to choose what to investigate.
Screpy records ranking evidence and competing results. Your team remains responsible for accurate Business Profile information, website changes, reviews, and local SEO decisions.
Google Maps listings, organic web positions, and one-time SERP research answer different questions. Screpy keeps those workflows separate so their positions are not mixed.
Monitor a saved business in selected Google Maps keyword result sets with position, movement, trend, competitor context, history, and exports.
Track recurring organic Google positions by country, language, optional location, and device with ranking URLs and competitor context.
Investigate one keyword result landscape and its search intent without treating that snapshot as the history of a saved Maps listing.

Map Tracker checks a saved keyword in Google Maps using its country and language settings, identifies the intended business through saved match rules, and records current position, previous movement, best position, returned businesses, status, and analysis history.
You can match a result by business title, website domain, full website URL, address, or Google Place ID. Rules can use contains or exact matching, and project-level defaults can be reused. A result must satisfy the saved rules before Screpy records it as the tracked business.
No. The current Map Tracker follows saved Google Maps keyword result sets with country and language context. It does not scan multiple latitude-and-longitude pins or produce a street-by-street heatmap. Include meaningful city or neighbourhood intent in the keyword when that reflects the customer search you need to monitor.
They define the Google market and interface-language context used for the saved keyword. Keep them unchanged when comparing history so a market-setting change is not mistaken for ranking movement.
The portfolio score gives full weight to tracked keywords ranking in the Top 3, partial weight to positions 4–10, and no weight to lower or unmatched results. Open individual keywords beside the score because the same percentage can represent different position patterns.
Manual results can vary with the searcher’s precise location, timing, language, device, personalization, open hours, and current result set. Compare analyses collected with the same saved context and look for sustained movement instead of expecting one manual search to reproduce the recorded position.
Yes. Screpy keeps the other businesses returned in the analyzed result set and shows competitor-position context beside the tracked listing. These are observed competitors for that query, not proof that one competitor action caused your movement.
Start with services, products, categories, city or neighbourhood combinations, and near-me searches that represent real customer discovery. Prefer a focused set tied to a business decision over a large list of loosely related keywords.
The available analysis interval and keyword allowance depend on the project plan and controls shown in the application. Keep the interval stable when comparing movement instead of relying on a fixed marketing-page promise that may change with packaging.
Yes. The web interface can export the current table to CSV or Excel with the keyword, market, current position, movement, best result, last-analysis time, and status used in the selected view.
Map Tracker follows business listings inside Google Maps results. Rank Tracker follows organic Google positions for configured keywords and can include country, language, optional location, device, ranking URL, competitors, segments, and exports. Keep the datasets separate because a Maps position is not an organic web ranking.
No. It measures selected results and keeps their history. Google describes local ranking mainly through relevance, distance, and prominence. Use the data to investigate accurate business information, categories, reviews, local pages, links, and competitor context, but do not treat tracking itself as a ranking factor.
Map Tracker availability and keyword allowances depend on the current Screpy plan. Review the pricing page and the project controls in the application for the current entitlement instead of relying on an older fixed limit.
