You did the work.
Now show it.

Well under a minute from a phone: take the photo, add a short caption, confirm the location. If it took longer, crews would quietly stop, and the whole system depends on them doing it every job.

In a dead zone the check-in should hold on the device and upload when signal returns, so nothing is lost on a rural job. We confirm the exact behaviour for your setup during onboarding.

Yes. Per-user access, not a shared master login, so you can see who is actually contributing records.

They are reviewed before they go public. A blurry photo or an untidy job site never reaches your customers. Nothing publishes on a hair trigger.

Our development team builds it into your existing site directly, not as a bolt-on iframe. Content on your own domain is worth more for search than content trapped in an embedded frame.

The map loads lazily and does not block the page. Trades leads are mostly mobile, so a map that bogged the site down would defeat the purpose. Page speed is checked as part of setup.

Yes. Each record adds structured data to the page, so the location, date and service type become something Google reads directly, not just text a human sees.

Yes. Records are tagged by service, so a metal-roofing page streams only metal-roofing check-ins and a repair page only repairs. Each page shows the proof that matches it.

Official tools only. No scraping, no unofficial integrations. The fastest way to get a profile suspended is a sketchy connection, and we are not risking your listing to save development time.

No. Records are paced and formatted so the profile looks tended, not spammed. Five check-ins in one day do not turn into five near-identical posts.

Yes. Send records to Google and your website and keep social manual, or switch social on. Curating Instagram by hand is a legitimate choice.

Marking the job complete. Not a dashboard someone has to remember to open days later. The moment the customer is happiest is the moment to ask.

Both are available; text is the default, because open and completion rates for residential work are far higher than email.

Yes. One tap to the star box. Every extra click between the customer and the form loses reviews.

Yes. One client per industry, per area, across this whole business. We will not run this for two roofers competing on the same map.

No. Month to month, cancel anytime. We put that in writing.

It is waived for new clients as standard. Ask when you book so it is on the record.

The historical records are yours. The live map stops updating, but the past records can be exported and remain your property. You never lose what you paid to build.

Geo-grid heat-map scans against a dated baseline, with direct access to the tracking. You watch your coverage change month over month, not read a formatted PDF.

Yes. The free assessment maps your current territory and the competitors holding it before you commit to anything. If the map says local search is not your bottleneck, we tell you.

Not directly, and not on its own. Distance from the searcher is one of the two strongest local ranking factors, and no tool overrides it. What a steady stream of dated, specific, structured job records does is give Google readable evidence that you operate across the area, which is what it needs before it will show you further out. It supports a wider radius over time; it does not command one.

Your high-intent search targets, a look at your current geo-grid visibility map, who holds the map pack in your target zones, your crew's real field workflow, and how far you will actually drive for a job. If they open with a price and a slide deck instead, that is the wrong vendor. A real one also tells you no when the grid shows local search is not your bottleneck.

Yes. Each check-in record adds structured data to the page it sits on, so the location, date and service type are readable by Google directly rather than only as text. That is separate from, and does not depend on, photo GPS, which Google strips on upload.

It is yours. The live map stops updating and the widget switches off, but the historical records can be exported and the past data remains your property. Data ownership is not conditional on staying subscribed.

It is built to load lazily and not block the page, and page speed is checked during setup. Trades leads are mostly mobile, so a map that dragged on load times would work against the whole point of the product.

A system that turns each completed job into a dated, mapped record on your website and your Google Business Profile, so real service activity becomes visible proof instead of disappearing after the invoice.

$299 per month, plus a one-time $250 setup fee that is waived for new clients. No long-term contract, cancel anytime.

No. Nothing legitimate can guarantee a specific ranking, and we do not sell guarantees anywhere in this business. Map Check-Ins is a proof and visibility layer, not a ranking mechanism on its own.

No. It complements that work. Map Check-Ins can stand alone as a product, but it is designed to sit alongside a broader Google Maps SEO engagement, not instead of one.

Not automatically out of the box. Our development team can build a custom connection so a job closed in your CRM triggers a check-in, but that requires your API access and is scoped per business.

No, and we would be misleading you if we said it did. Google strips GPS metadata from photos on upload, so a geotagged image carries no ranking weight by itself. The map record here works because it is structured, dated activity shown on your own site and profile, not because of hidden photo metadata.

Yes. The customer is always the genuine author. Where AI assistance is used, it helps draft the request that goes out or helps you draft your own reply. It never writes the customer’s review for them.

No long-term contract. It runs month to month and you can cancel anytime.

Field-service businesses whose crews complete jobs at different addresses across a service area: HVAC, plumbing, roofing, restoration, electrical, and similar trades. A fixed-location business with no service radius will not get much from it.

A structured record of one real completed job: its location, date, service type and supporting photos. That record can then show up on your website and, where connected, on eligible channels. It is not a native Google ranking mechanism; it is a paper trail for work you actually did.

No, and we will not claim otherwise. Map Check-Ins does not control or guarantee a Google Maps ranking. Google’s own local ranking guidance names relevance, distance and prominence as the deciding factors, and states plainly that there is no way to request or pay for a better local ranking. What Map Check-Ins does is turn genuine completed work into structured, current proof of business activity that can support your broader local visibility strategy. It is the receipt, not the lottery ticket.

No. We do not claim that, because it is not something we can support. Their real value is in documenting genuine business activity on your own website and adding to the information Google already pulls from a business’s own website and other sources when it decides what it knows about a local business.

Indirectly, and only by doing the fundamentals well. Google’s current AI-search guidance says there is no separate technical layer required for AI visibility. It points back to the same basics: crawlable, useful, original, well-structured information. Map Check-Ins is built around producing exactly that kind of first-party information about real work in real places, not around any AI-specific trick.

You can, and some businesses do. The problem is rarely knowing how to write a post. It is consistently doing it, job after job, without adding another task to someone’s week. Map Check-Ins is a repeatable workflow: job completed, job logged, location recorded, proof organized, website updated, eligible channels updated. The content originates from work you actually completed, not from someone in the office trying to remember to post something.

No. It is a local visibility product that complements Local SEO. You can buy it on its own, but it is not a substitute for Google Maps SEO, website SEO, reputation management or the broader authority work a full Local SEO engagement covers.

A fixed-location business that rarely sends anyone to a customer’s address, most retail and single-location businesses, for example. The mechanism depends on real jobs at real, different addresses, so it is built for field-service trades. We will say so directly on the call rather than sell it to a business it will not help.

That month gets no check-ins. Map Check-Ins documents real completed work; it does not manufacture activity to fill a schedule. A system built on genuine job records only works if every record in it is true.

Yes, where the underlying information is accurate and verifiable, but the date reflects when the job actually happened. Historical check-ins are never used to make old work look recent.

For residential work, the public map shows a generalized location rather than a customer’s exact address by default, balancing real local proof against a customer’s privacy. Commercial job locations can be shown more precisely where appropriate.

A normal posting service is post, publish, forget: content written because something needed to go up. Map Check-Ins has an operational source of truth: job, record, map, website, eligible distribution, archive. The difference is not posting more often. It is that every record traces back to a real job your business actually completed.
