Google Map Pack Ranking
Geo-grid tracked. Map Pack ranking service from a Singapore team. 10 years in SEO, 150+ clients, Google Partner certified.
Why Map Pack matters
For any "near me" or city-modifier query, Google shows three Map Pack results above the blue organic ranks. Position 1 to 3 captures the overwhelming share of clicks. Positions 4+ are nearly invisible.
Map Pack ranking is decided by relevance, distance, and prominence — three factors that haven't changed materially in years. Most businesses leak position 1–3 because they focus on one factor and ignore the other two.
We track Map Pack rank across every postcode that matters to you. Geo-grid baseline at engagement start, monthly re-measurement, and a treatment plan tied to which postcodes are moving and which aren't.
How Map Pack ranking is decided
Relevance
Primary + secondary category selection, services listed, attributes, business description, post and review content. Most common — and most punishing — mistake we fix in audits.
Distance
Less controllable, but service area definition, primary address, and territory setup all influence which queries you appear for. Service-area businesses have different levers than brick-and-mortar.
Prominence
Review count + velocity + sentiment, citations across SG directories, backlinks to your website, brand mentions. Slowest factor to move — and the one most agencies under-invest in.
Process
01 — Baseline
Map Pack rank measured across every postcode in your service radius. Identify the postcodes where you're already close and the ones where you're invisible.
02 — Foundation
Category fixes, photo cadence, citation cleanup, LocalBusiness schema. The relevance + prominence foundation before activation.
03 — Activation
Review request flow, weekly posts, local link outreach. Engagement and prominence signals built month over month.
04 — Iterate
Geo-grid re-run monthly. Postcodes that moved + postcodes that didn't tell us where to re-allocate effort next.
FAQs
A geo-grid scan measures your Map Pack rank from multiple geographic points across your service radius — typically every postcode or neighbourhood that matters. Different from a single "where do I rank?" check because Map Pack ranking shifts by location of the searcher.
Map Pack ranking is the outcome; GBP optimization is one of the levers. This service focuses on the broader ranking discipline — including citation cleanup, local link building, schema, and review velocity — measured against actual Map Pack position. GBP optimization is the deeper dive on the profile itself. For the full stack, including location pages and the organic results under the map, see local SEO.
It depends on your category and where you start. Less-competitive categories tend to move faster; highly contested ones (medical, legal, SEO itself) are slower. The geo-grid baseline shows where you rank in each postcode, and we set per-postcode expectations from that, not a blanket timeline.
