LOCAL RANK TRACKING

Know where you rank on Google Maps.

Ninja checks your position every week for the searches that bring you work — then does the profile work to move it up. You never open a rank tracker.

Why position matters

Customers call the top three. Almost nobody scrolls.

On a phone, the Maps 3-pack is the whole screen. Everything under it is a second page most people never reach.

#1 – #3

The 3-pack

Where the calls, direction requests and walk-ins come from. This is the target.

#4 – #10

Below the fold

Reachable, but only if someone taps "more places" and keeps reading.

#11+

Effectively invisible

Where most half-filled profiles sit — and where they stay without weekly work.

What moves the number

Tracking tells you where you stand. Ninja changes it.

A rank tracker on its own is a scoreboard. Every week Ninja checks the position, finds what is holding it back, and does the work — you approve what goes live.

Categories and services matched to what you sell
Description and keywords rewritten around real searches
Photos kept fresh instead of three years old
Reviews answered, not left hanging
A weekly post so the profile never goes quiet

The right searches

Tracked on the searches you actually get hired for.

Not vanity terms. Ninja looks at how people in your area search for your trade, picks the ones that end in a phone call, and works those into your profile.

Someone is watching it

Rankings move. You hear about it.

Competitors change their profiles. Google shifts what it rewards. Ninja watches the position week over week, flags what changed, and tells you what it did about it.

Common questions

Rankings, answered.

How often is my position checked?

Every week, from your service area rather than a national average, so the number reflects what a customer near you actually sees.

How long until my ranking moves?

Profile fixes usually go live in the first week. Movement on Maps typically follows over the weeks after, and keeps compounding as the profile stays current.

Do you just report the ranking, or fix it?

Both. The weekly check tells you where you stand; Ninja then does the profile work behind it — categories, services, description, photos, posts and review replies — and you approve what goes live.

Which searches do you track?

The ones people in your area use to hire your trade. Ninja picks them from real local search behavior and revisits the list as it shifts.

Will pushing rankings get my profile flagged?

No. Everything runs through the official Google Business Profile API and follows Google guidelines — no keyword stuffing, no fake reviews, no gimmicks.

What if a competitor overtakes me?

The weekly check catches it. Ninja tells you what changed and what it adjusted on your profile in response.
