Free local rank checkers: 6 compared on map grids
A free local rank checker shows where you appear on Google Maps for one search. Only grid tools show how that changes across your area: Reach scans a 3x3 grid every week on its free plan, and Local Falcon and Whitespark give trial credits. BrightLocal's checker needs no sign-up but returns a list, not a grid.

What each answer is based on
Every cell was read from the product's own public pricing, feature or tool page, never from review sites, and links to that page. The oldest check on this page is from October 20, 2026. “Not listed” means the page does not say, not that the product lacks it. Prices change, so open the link before you decide. Reach is made by Locus Intelligence, which publishes this page. Its cells come from Reach's public pages, read the same way as every other product's.
