Follow these steps to access the Local Rankings:

If you don’t see this page, you need to link your Google My Business Profile to your Hike account.
Once you have access, here’s what you can expect:

- Get a visual representation of how the ‘Map Pack’ appears in Google Search and Maps.
- Discover whether your business is ranking in these results and the specific location being searched.
- Monitor the performance of your keywords over time by clicking on them.
- Add new keywords to track by clicking ‘Add’. Input the keywords you wish to track and add them to the list.
- Manage your keyword list by removing ones that are no longer relevant.
- Export the entire list to a spreadsheet for easier data management.
