Google Maps rank tracking for electricians
You might lead Google Maps on your own street and vanish a couple of miles away. Once a month, the rank map runs one search, such as electrician or EV charger installer, from a grid of points around your business, and shows your position at each one, who beats you there and what to do next.
You’re top 3 for “electrician near me” across the centre of Newark. A few fresh reviews will push you out to the villages you cover.
How it works for electricians
Pick the search worth winning
If EV chargers and rewires are where the margin is, track that phrase rather than plain electrician. One phrase is scanned on the 1st of each month, and every past scan is kept for comparison.
A pin at every point
Pins are coloured by where you rank. The summary gives your average and best position and your visibility as a percentage, counts the points where you make the top three or top ten, and marks where you’re missing.
Rivals mapped point by point
Click any point to see who outranks you there. A top-competitor table shows which firms lead across your area overall, which helps when you’re deciding where to push hardest for reviews.
Clear, short advice
Each scan comes with a short plain-English read and two or three things to do, plus a trend against last month. The map measures rather than acts, so the work itself happens in your reviews, profile and website.
A first scan for Penwood Electrical
Top three at home, outranked near the new estate
Raj runs Penwood Electrical from a unit on the edge of town. His first scan for ‘EV charger installer’ puts him in the top three around the unit, but a national installer and a firm from the next town lead near the new-build estate, where the driveways are. Raj starts asking his customers on the estate for reviews and adds the service to his Google profile. Next month’s scan will sit beside this one.

The film
Three self-contained chapters: a monthly Google Maps scan from a grid of points around the business, a monthly check of whether ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity name it, and a monthly head-to-head with the local rivals it picks. It works the same way for electricians.

0:01Where you show up on Google Maps depends on where your customer is standing.
0:06So once a month, we run your key search from a grid of points around your business, as if a customer were standing at each one.
0:13You see where you're top three, where you don't appear at all, who beats you at each point, and two or three plain-English things to do next.
0:24Customers can now ask AI assistants where to go, too.
0:28Once a month, we put up to four of your customers' questions to ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity, each answering from live web results.
0:37You see whether you're named, how high, and who's named instead. Nobody can buy a recommendation, but now you'll know where you stand.
0:48And how do you stack up against your local rivals?
0:52Pick them from Google, and every month we check their rating and review count, new reviews, how often they reply, what customers praise and complain about, their AI visibility and map position.
1:04Then it's all set beside yours, head to head, so you can see where you're ahead, and where they're pulling away.
1:12LocalQuiver. Your marketing, sorted.

More for electricians
No. The map is re-scanned once a month on the 1st, which keeps each month comparable with the last. There’s no live, weekly or on-demand scanning, and the scans aren’t something you run yourself; it all happens in the background.
Google Maps takes the searcher’s location into account, so your position shifts as they move across town. That’s why the map runs the same search from a grid of points, so you can see where you’re strong and where a closer rival takes over.
It gives you a short plain-English read with two or three things to do, and shows who beats you where. It can’t improve your ranking by itself, and nobody can promise a position, but it points your effort at the right part of your patch.
