Question 1

Does Whitespark have a grid rank tracker?

Accepted Answer

No. Whitespark's Local Rank Tracker checks a single point per city or location — not a geographic grid. You get one ranking number per keyword per location. Geogrid scans up to 441 GPS coordinates per keyword, giving you a full heatmap of where you rank across an entire city.

Question 2

Is Geogrid a replacement for Whitespark's citation finder?

Accepted Answer

No — they serve different purposes. Whitespark is best known for its Citation Finder, which helps you build local citations. Geogrid focuses exclusively on grid-based rank tracking. If citations are your primary workflow, Whitespark stays relevant. If you need precise ranking data to show clients, Geogrid is the better tool.

Question 3

How does the pricing compare?

Accepted Answer

Whitespark's Local Rank Tracker starts around $20/mo but limits the number of tracked locations and keywords. Costs rise quickly for agencies with multiple clients. Geogrid uses a credit model: 1 credit = 1 grid point. Agency plan gives 20,000 credits at $149/mo — enough for 118 full 13×13 scans. No per-location limits.

Question 4

Why does grid tracking matter for local SEO agencies?

Accepted Answer

Single-point tracking shows your rank from a city center. But Google's local pack shifts every few hundred meters — a business ranking #1 downtown can rank #8 just 600 meters away. With Geogrid's 441-point grid, you see the full visibility map: where you dominate, where you drop off, and which neighborhoods need work. That's a data-backed story your clients understand.

Question 5

Can I share results with clients from Geogrid?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Share a branded, read-only portal link directly with clients. They see the heatmap, visibility score, and competitor data in real time — with your agency logo. No login required, no PDF exports needed. Whitespark doesn't offer client portals.

Question 6

Does Geogrid have an API for automation?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Geogrid offers a documented REST API on Freelance plans and above. You can launch scans, retrieve results, check credits, and integrate with your existing tools (Looker Studio, PowerBI, CRMs). Whitespark doesn't provide a public API.
