1. Type the business’s name as Google Maps shows it and press Find it, then choose it from the matches (one map point).

2. Enter the search to check — bookshop near me, say — the grid’s size (3×3, 5×5 or 7×7 points) and how far apart the points are.

3. Press Add grid. Its first reading arrives in a few minutes, then every week.

Each cell is the business’s place in Maps from that point — green in the top 3, amber to 10, red beyond, 20+ where it isn’t in the first 20 — with the average place and the share of points in the top 3 beside it. The outlined cell is the business itself. Each point is one Maps read from the month’s map points: a 5×5 grid read weekly uses about 100 a month, and a reading the points left can’t cover in full waits for next month rather than read half the grid.
