HOWELL, Mich. - s4story -- Cale Media has made a Google Maps rank checker available to help local businesses see where they appear in Map results across a chosen service area.

A business can appear in a different position when a customer searches from another part of town. With Cale Media's checker, users select their business and a search phrase, place a grid over the area they want to examine, and check the Google Maps results at each point. The report shows the returned position, marks points where the business was not found in the first 20 results, and summarizes top-three coverage. Users can download the observations as a CSV file.
