“Knowing where you rank, and what your competitors do in each local market shouldn’t be a luxury,” said Michel van Luijtelaar, CMO and Co-Founder of GMBapi. “When every scan costs credits, people check less often and miss the moment a competitor starts pulling ahead. Your Google Maps position should be as basic to track as your opening hours. That’s why we’ve made rank tracking a commodity: included in each package, unlimited competitor action tracking, and credit-free.”<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
GMBapi has released a rebuilt Local Rank Tracker with unlimited, credit-free geo-grid scans and competitor action tracking, giving local SEO agencies the data to measure and prove the impact of their work.<\/div>\n

‘s-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands – September 29, 2026 –<\/strong> GMBapi, the Google-first local SEO platform built for multi-location brands and agencies, has released a rebuilt version of its Local Rank Tracker. Geo-grid scans are now unlimited and credit-free for every GMBapi customer, including accounts on a free trial. The release turns local rank tracking from a metered add-on into a standard part of everyday Google Business Profile (GBP) management.<\/p>\n

Local rank tracking has long been sold by the scan. Many geo-grid tools price by credits per grid point or per keyword, which pushes agencies to ration how often they check client rankings on Google Maps. GMBapi removes that meter. Customers can run on-demand scans for up to five keywords at a time, set up recurring monitors per location, and re-scan as often as their work requires.<\/p>\n

A change in how agencies work<\/strong><\/p>\n

For agencies, the cost of data has shaped the work itself. When every scan costs credits, rank checks happen once a month, client portfolios get sampled instead of fully tracked, and prospect research is kept to a minimum. Unlimited scans remove those trade-offs.<\/p>\n

“This is a game changer for agencies,” said Michel van Luijtelaar, CMO and Co-Founder of GMBapi. “You can track every client location, scan every prospect before the first call, and re-check a market the week after you’ve made a change. That’s why we’ve made rank tracking a commodity: included, unlimited, and credit-free.”<\/p>\n

Through campaigns, agencies can track any number of locations on a daily, weekly, or monthly cadence, with single- or multi-keyword setups. Campaigns are activated by the GMBapi support team for multi-location and agency customers. White-label reporting is included in every GMBapi package.<\/p>\n

Competitor data that shows what actually moves rankings<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every scan records who ranks where, and what changed. The Local Rank Tracker analyzes up to 60 competitors per grid point, identifies the top 20 competitors across the full grid, and logs the changes those competitors make to their Google Business Profiles between scans, including category updates, fresh content, and review growth.<\/p>\n

That history gives agencies a way to analyze the impact of local SEO work with evidence rather than assumptions:<\/p>\n
