Where the practice shows up on Google Maps across the local grid. Each circle is a geographic search point — greener is better, the blue pin is the office. Click any circle to see the rank at that point. In August, map-pack coverage softened versus July — average rank moved to ~12 and top-3 share dipped. The practice still appears across the central grid around the office, but the outer edges dropped off. This is our focus area next month, and the strong GBP momentum (9 new 5★ reviews, calls up) is exactly the signal that helps rebuild map position.
