Step 4: Compare Multiple Scans

You can use the Compare Scans feature to track how your business rankings change over time.

How to Compare

1. Use the checkboxes on the left to select up to 3 scans.
2. Click the Compare Selected button at the top.

Important Notes

• Always compare scans that use the same keyword for the business.
• Make sure the scans are of the same type: Maps (Google Maps scan) or Local (Local Pack scan)

This ensures you get accurate insights into your Google Business Profile (GBP) improvements.

Step 5: About the Scan Comparison Report

The Scan Comparison Report gives you a side-by-side view of your selected scans.

It helps you:

• See how rankings changed across the grid for each scan
• Compare results for the same keyword across different dates or scan types (Maps vs Local)
• Identify performance trends with metrics like Average Ranking, Best/Worst Ranking, and Ranking Spread
• Quickly spot areas of improvement or decline using the color-coded map markers
• Share the report with others using the share link . If you have Whitelabel activated, the share link will use your whitelabel domain
• Export the report as a PDF for easy saving, printing, or client reporting

This makes it easy to measure progress, track changes over time, and understand how your local visibility shifts between scans.

💡 Pro Tips

• Use the search bar to filter scans by keyword or business name.
• Sort by date, average rank, or grid size to quickly analyze trends.
• Schedule scans for consistent tracking and historical comparison.
• Use comparison reports to identify which strategies or campaigns improved your visibility.
