Common questions
How is MapsGrid different from Semrush Local?
MapsGrid does one job: geogrid rank tracking with history, alerts and client reports. Unused points carry over for a month, reports can carry your own logo, and it is free to use. If you need a wider toolbox, Semrush Local may fit better.
Can I bring my history over from Semrush Local?
Not today. Your MapsGrid history starts with your first scan, which takes a few minutes for a 7×7 grid.
