Local Influence Radar
Local Influence Radar measures where your business actually ranks in Google Maps results around you — point by point across a grid over your area. Every cell in the grid is a real search from that location, so the map shows your true visibility street by street, not an average.
All numbers are measured: one live DataForSEO Google Maps search runs per grid point. No AI is involved in the measurement itself.
Who this tool is for
Local businesses and agencies who want to know where in the neighbourhood visibility is strong and where it fails — before adjusting the Google Business profile or local pages.
Prerequisites
- Signed-in account (starter tier in the catalog)
- Price follows grid size: 3×3 = 5 credits, 5×5 = 10, 7×7 = 20 (shown on the button before you run)
- Business name, a keyword, and a position (lat/lng) with radius
How to use it
- Fill in the business name and the keyword to measure, and set centre point and radius.
- Pick a grid size — start with 3×3 to test the keyword cheaply.
- Confirm the run. One live search runs per point; large grids take longer.
- Read the map, and compare against earlier scans in the history (the last ten are kept).
How to read the result
- The grid map shows your position per point; colours separate top placements from invisibility.
- Average rank and top-3 share summarize the area as a whole.
- Failed points are counted separately — single searches can fail without the whole scan failing.
Common errors
- "Provider failed" / storage error: the run was charged and refunded automatically by the server — try again.
- "Insufficient credits" or validation errors: nothing was charged.
- Generic "failed": rare; contact support if a charge stands without a result.
Limitations
- No export of the map or the numbers — the history lives inside the tool.
- Rankings apply to Google Maps results for that exact keyword; organic web search is not measured.
- Radius and points are geometric — buildings and roads are not considered.
