Local rank tracking software: the provable core of an agency's local service.

The agency definition

Strip the category to its function: a local rank tracker produces the evidence an agency's local service runs on. It records local pack and Maps positions per geographic point — because local results vary by location — and archives them on a schedule, so every client report can reference a real, comparable history.

Why it is the provable core

An agency's other deliverables — profile optimization, review campaigns, citation cleanup — are claims until measurement corroborates them. The tracker is the corroboration instrument. That is why the agency playbook opens with a baseline scan: every subsequent invoice refers back to it.

What an agency should require

• Per-point sampling on a geo-grid, with grid size and span configurable per client market
• Scheduled automation across the whole roster, no manual triggers
• An archive that preserves scan geometry and history
• Client-legible reporting — the coverage map, not a rank table

The pipeline these requirements imply is detailed in how local rank tracking works.
