Google Maps Rank Checker

The local 3-pack (also called the Local Pack or Map Pack) is the block of three business listings that appears at the top of Google search results for local queries for example 'dentist near me' or 'plumber in Austin'. Appearing in the 3-pack is extremely valuable because it sits above organic results and captures a large share of local clicks.

Google's local ranking algorithm weighs three main factors: Relevance (how well your Google Business Profile matches the search query), Distance (how close your business is to the searcher or the location specified in the search), and Prominence (how well-known and trusted your business is signals include reviews, review ratings, citations, and links). Optimising all three is the key to ranking higher.

This tool uses the same real-time Google Maps search results that a real user would see from the location you specify. Results are cached for 24 hours to keep the tool fast, so very recent changes may not be reflected immediately. For continuous daily tracking, sign in to save keywords and monitor trends in your ReviewPace dashboard.

Google Maps rankings are hyper-local the same search can return completely different results just a few blocks apart. This is why we ask you to specify a city, neighbourhood, or ZIP code: we measure your rank from that precise point. If you serve customers across a wider area, check your rank from multiple locations to get a full picture.

The highest-leverage improvements are: (1) Increase your review count and average rating businesses in the 3-pack average 4.4 stars and 200+ reviews. (2) Reply to every review it signals engagement to Google. (3) Post to Google Business Profile at least once per week. (4) Keep your NAP (name, address, phone) consistent across all directories. ReviewPace automates review collection, AI-powered replies, and post scheduling to help you improve all of these signals.

The local pack refers to the first three listings Google shows in map results. Being in the pack (rank 1–3) generates far more clicks than positions 4–10 ('outside pack'). Rank 1 in the pack captures roughly 33% of all local clicks for that query making it the most coveted position in local SEO.
