You can configure each of your client's keyword Rank Tracker dashboards to:

  • Count the Google Local 3-pack (aka the "maps pack") for Google rankings

  • Track specific Google Business Profiles for Google Local rankings

How to access advanced keyword ranking settings

To access advanced keyword ranking settings, go to your Rank Tracker dashboard, click the settings slider in the top-right corner, select the Settings tab, then click the advanced settings area link.

Advanced Keyword Ranking Options

Google Local 3-Pack

Enable this setting to count the Google 3-pack (aka "maps pack") when calculating your Google SERP rankings. With this setting disabled, our Rank Tracker will completely ignore any 3-packs when reporting each keyword's rank on Google SERPs.

The 3-pack sometimes appears on the Google SERP, usually near the top of search results.

Note: The Google Local 3-Pack setting relates to your Google rankings, not your Google Local rankings. More information is found here.

Google Business Profiles

Use this setting to specify the exact Google Business Profiles our Rank Tracker should search for when checking your Google Local rankings. You can add as many Google Business Profiles as you like. More information is found here.
