Where local growth breaksClick to inspect
Your competitor is in the top 3 on Google Maps. You’re not. That decision happens before the customer ever visits your website or calls your number.
You’re spending on ads. You have no idea what each lead actually costs or which campaign is working. You’re making decisions without the numbers.
More reviews mean better rankings and higher close rates. Your competitors have hundreds. You have a handful. That gap is visible to every customer comparing you.
It exists. It doesn’t ring your phone. Built for looks, not for conversions.
Google, social, website, reputation. All separate. No single view of what’s working. No system tying it together. Just spend with no clear return.
Local Viking GeoGrid · Visibility DiagnosticLive client captures · Select one to enlarge
Country Contracting and ConstructionConstruction · Minden, Ontario
Every capture is a live Local Viking scheduled GeoGrid on the same account. Each point is the business’s map-pack position at that spot in the service area — red is unranked or buried, green is the top few. The left map is the earliest capture on record for that search; the right is August 2026. SoLV is share of local voice: how much of the service area sees the business at all — it is the figure that rises on every one of these terms. An average rank of 0.00 on a first capture means the business was not found anywhere in the grid, not that it ranked first.
Built for local
For 20 years, we’ve studied the local decision.This is all we do.
Grant Gooley started in automotive marketing, working with community businesses two decades ago. His Executive MBA research focused on one question: how does a consumer find and choose a local business? The answer became MyPortal’s system. Showing up when people are looking. Building the reputation that wins the click. Getting credit for every customer we drive.
Every touchpoint either builds or erodes the authority that drives your phone to ring.
