Kerbrank — Google Maps Rank Tracker with Weekly AI Fix Lists

What is Kerbrank?

Kerbrank is a web-based local rank tracker for Google Maps, built for UK small businesses, freelancers, and small agencies. Instead of a single position number, it measures visibility the way a customer would encounter it: it checks where a business ranks on Google Maps from a grid of points spread around its location, up to 225 points on a 15x15 grid for the largest plans.

The tool has a second, unusual layer: it repeatedly asks ChatGPT customer-style questions about the business's category and area, and counts how often the business is named in the answers. Together with the grid scans, this produces a weekly, plain-English fix list rather than a raw data dashboard. The site credits the origin story to its founder, Kolapo Oguntade, who built the tool after a Southsea clinic he worked with could not be found on Maps even two miles away. Kerbrank is based in Southsea, Portsmouth, UK, and its scans are hosted in London.

How Kerbrank Works

The workflow is a three-step loop. First, measure: a grid scan records the business's Maps position from each point around the postcode, and setup takes about 5 minutes. Automatic scans then run every 7 days. Second, fix: each week Kerbrank sends a short list of concrete jobs — competitor checks, search-demand checks, and website checks such as name, phone, and LocalBusiness markup are folded into these recommendations. Third, check again: the user marks a job as done, and the next scan re-checks it and shows what changed.

Reports can be shared by link or exported as PDF, with branded reports available on the Pro plan and above. A Google account connection is not required; the optional Search Console connection is read-only.

Main Features

• Grid-based Maps rank scans — positions measured from up to 225 points around the business, shown plan-by-plan as 11x11, 13x13, or 15x15 grids.
• ChatGPT recommendation check — customer-style questions asked repeatedly, with a count of how often the business is recommended by name.
• Weekly fix lists — short, plain-English tasks instead of raw metrics, with jobs re-checked on the following scan.
• Competitor and demand checks — visibility into nearby competitors and local search demand alongside the business's own scores.
• Website fundamentals validation — checks for name, phone, and LocalBusiness structured data on the business's site.
• Shareable reports — link sharing on all paid plans and branded PDF reports from Pro upward.

Pricing

Kerbrank prices in GBP with a no-credits model and a 14-day free trial that requires no card. Solo costs 29 pounds per month (290 pounds per year) for 1 business, 10 searches, and 11x11 maps. Pro costs 59 pounds per month for 3 businesses with 25 searches each, 13x13 maps, and branded reports. Agency costs 129 pounds per month for 10 businesses with 50 searches each and 15x15 maps. Agency+ costs 259 pounds per month for 25 businesses. A free, no-signup 25-point check is available for a one-off look at any business.

Common Use Cases

• Single-location businesses — cafes, clinics, trades, and shops checking whether nearby customers actually see them on Maps.
• Freelance marketers — monitoring local clients from one dashboard with shareable reports.
• Small agencies — the Agency and Agency+ tiers price local tracking at roughly 10 to 13 pounds per business per month.
• Pre- and post-optimization checks — using the free 25-point check before and after profile work to see movement.

Limitations

Kerbrank is candid about what it cannot do. It does not change anything on Google — it measures and advises, and the user does the fixes. Points without postcodes (sea, harbours, open land) are excluded, and if postcode lookup fails all points are searched. Non-appearances count as rank 21 in averages, which affects the numbers. Moving rankings does not prove which job caused the change. Scans run every 7 days rather than on demand or in real time, and there is no coverage beyond Google Maps — no organic keyword ranks, no Bing, no review management. Pricing is GBP-only and clearly aimed at the UK market. The copyright footer reads 2026 and no launch date is stated.

Summary

Kerbrank is a focused local-visibility measurement tool with an unusually honest marketing page: it explains exactly how its grid scans and ChatGPT recommendation check work, publishes all plan limits, and states its own caveats. For UK small businesses and small agencies that want a weekly measure-fix-recheck loop for Google Maps rather than a full SEO suite, it is a practical fit. The trade-offs — weekly cadence, Maps-only scope, and single-market pricing — are the price of that focus.
