How to Read Your Monthly Ranking Report
Your monthly report shows a grid map of your city with colour-coded rankings:
- Green (1–3): excellent — you appear in the Local Pack for searches from that location
- Yellow (4–7): good — close to the top, trending upward
- Red (8+): needs improvement — work in progress
The goal is to turn as much of the grid green as possible, especially in and around your primary service area.
