How they fit together

From first map to monthly report.

Most people read them in order. Getting started covers adding your business: you find your listing, tick the searches people nearby make, choose the area and take your first reading, with an estimate of how long it should take before it starts.

Once the map is in, the guide to reading it explains the headline numbers. Top-three share is the part of your area where you sit in Google’s top three map results, and blind spots are the patches where you don’t show at all.

The job list guide then takes you through the fixes, most useful first, and what the next weekly scan tells you about each one.

The rest you can dip into when you need them: choosing which searches to track, the competitor comparison, what ChatGPT says about you, sharing reports with clients, and managing your plan. If something isn’t covered, the instant answers in the corner usually are, and a person replies to messages within two working days.
