The glossary, organized around the grid.
This glossary defines the eight terms of local search measurement, organized around the mechanism this site documents: the geo-grid. Each entry states what the term means and how it relates to the grid. Each term is defined once here and used consistently across every page of this site.
The grid at the centre of the vocabulary
Every term in local rank measurement either configures the grid, is measured by it, or explains its output. The geo-grid entry is therefore the hub of this glossary: read it first, and the other seven entries arrange themselves around it.
The terms
| Term | Relation to the grid | |
|---|---|---|
| [[glossary/geo-grid | Geo-Grid]] | The sampling structure itself |
| [[glossary/local-pack | Local Pack]] | What the grid measures |
| [[glossary/google-business-profile | Google Business Profile]] | Whose positions the grid records |
| [[glossary/rank-tracking | Rank Tracking]] | The scheduled act the grid enables |
| [[glossary/local-seo | Local SEO]] | The practice the grid verifies |
| [[glossary/local-search-ranking-factors | Local Search Ranking Factors]] | The model explaining grid output |
| [[glossary/review-signals | Review Signals]] | A lever whose effects the grid observes |
| [[glossary/nap-citations | NAP & Citations]] | A lever whose effects the grid observes |
From vocabulary to method
With the terms fixed, the method reads as their composition: the grid samples the pack positions of a profile, on a schedule, and the factor triad explains the map that results. The full composition is geo-grid rank tracking; the pipeline is how local rank tracking works; the reference tool is LocalRank at localrank.so.
The term sits inside the local rank tracking software sub-category, defined on its own page.
