Who this is for

Restaurant owners, cafe operators, food truck businesses, and food service chains looking to improve their Google Maps visibility.

The Problem

Challenges You Face Today

1

The "near me" battlefield is brutal for restaurants

Restaurant searches are dominated by "near me" queries — and Google Maps results change block by block. A diner two streets away might see your competitor instead of you. Without geo-grid data, you are blind to where you are losing customers.

2

Reviews can make or break your ranking

Google heavily weights review count and recency for restaurant rankings. A competitor with 500 reviews can dominate an area even if your food is better. You need to know where review-rich competitors are beating you so you can respond strategically.

3

You are competing with delivery apps and aggregators

Platforms like Uber Eats and DoorDash listings sometimes appear alongside organic results, pushing down individual restaurant listings. Understanding where your actual Google Business Profile ranks versus these aggregators is critical.

The Solution

How GBP Rank Tracker Helps

See your ranking for "restaurant near me" from every direction

Our 21-point geo-grid scan shows you exactly where your restaurant ranks from north, south, east, and west. Discover that you are #1 downtown but invisible two miles north — and take action to fix it.

2

Identify which competitors dominate each area

Every scan reveals the top-ranking restaurants at each grid point. See if one competitor consistently outranks you, or if different restaurants win in different zones. Use this to study what top performers do differently.

Track the keywords that actually bring diners in

Scan up to 3 keywords per report: "restaurant near me," your cuisine type like "Thai food [city]," and specialty terms like "brunch spot." See which terms you rank best for and where your weaknesses are.

Real-World Example

How a family-owned Italian restaurant reclaimed its neighborhood

A family-owned Italian restaurant in Chicago scanned for "Italian restaurant near me" and discovered they ranked #1 within a half-mile radius but dropped to #12 in the neighborhood just north. A newer competitor with 800 Google reviews was dominating that area. The restaurant owner started asking satisfied customers from that neighborhood to leave reviews mentioning the area name, updated their Google Business Profile with new menu photos, and started posting weekly specials. A scan 60 days later showed they had climbed to #4 in the previously weak zone.
