Grid My Business report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 23, 2026
Best for map rank grids with profile tools on one seat
Grid My Business shows where you rank on Google Maps at each point of a grid, checks whether ChatGPT, Gemini and Google's AI answers recommend you, and handles profile edits, citations, review replies and posts, from $24 a month on yearly billing. The free plan's 250 credits cover about ten scans, and team seats only start at Scale.
Who Grid My Business is for
- Fits if you want map rank grids, citations and review replies for a Google profile in one tool
- Works for solo agency owners tracking map rankings for up to 100 client profiles
Who Grid My Business is not for
- Tight if you're staying free: 250 credits cover about 10 scans, with no movable pins and no word on renewal
- Tight if you work in a team, as Growth has one user and seats start at Scale ($58 a month yearly)
- Watch out: scan counts assume a 5x5 grid, so bigger grids use up your credits faster
- Watch out: refunds cover only your first payment within 30 days, and renewals aren't refunded
- Skip it if you need the API, which comes only with the custom-priced Enterprise plan
Why Grid My Business gets a 2.4
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyGrowth is $24 a month on yearly billing ($290 a year), $29 monthly, for 7,500 credits and 100 profiles, under this category's middle ($31). Team seats and daily updates need Scale at $58.

Keep Grid My Business, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Grid My Business you would be making listings sent to dozens of directories and map apps, which takes an agreement with each. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.4 is higher than 43 of the 61 other local SEO tools we grade. It costs $288 a year.
What you could make
- Review collection and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Listings sent to dozens of directories and map apps, which takes an agreement with each.
- Daily checks of where your pages rank in search results.
- The same prompts asked of ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI answers every day, and the answers kept.
- It plugs into other products, Google Business Profile, Claude Desktop and Claude Code among them.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Grid My Business’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Grid My Business?
