# Track a dentist's Google Maps ranking across a city

Checks where a dental practice ranks in the Google Maps local pack from 49 points spread across a 7 by 7 grid, 3 miles from centre to edge, for the searches patients actually type. The result is a heat map of visibility by neighbourhood, not a single misleading rank from the office address.
