The local finder is the full list behind “More places”. Most people never scroll past the first few.
What you learn
- Your position in the local finder for one search.
- How many businesses sit above you.
- Whether you are close to the top three or far from it.
What it can't tell you
- The order changes with where and when someone searches.
- A position is a snapshot: it can move from one day to the next.
- Reach checks from your business’s own location; someone searching across town can see a different list.
Questions
The full list of places you see after tapping More places under the map results in Google Search.
They are close but not the same: the map pack shows three places, the finder lists many, and both depend on where the search is made.
The check reads Google live for your search, so it runs on a free Reach account. Your search is saved and checked as soon as you sign up.
Reviews, a complete profile, photos and regular posts are the signals you control. Reach shows which one you trail most.
