The evidence
Why map position matters for salons & fitness
Whatever the trade, customers search on a phone, look at the first few listings and act. These are published studies, linked so you can read them.
29–32%
of clicks go to the local map pack
On local service searches, the three map pack listings drew roughly a third of all clicks, more than any single organic result below them.
About this number
5,500+ testers chose a result on five San Francisco service-business searches. 28.8% with Local Services Ads shown, 32.3% without.
6–7×
more clicks for map pack #1 than #3
Position matters inside the pack, too. The first listing took 16–17% of clicks and the third took 2–3%.
About this number
Pack position 1: 16.1% (with LSAs) and 17.3% (without). Position 3: 2.3% and 2.9%.
50%
of smartphone searchers visited the store within a day
People who searched for a local business on a smartphone often acted that day. 18% of local searches led to a purchase within a day, against 7% of non-local searches.
About this number
4,500 survey respondents plus a smartphone search diary from 653 users. Behavior was self-reported or logged, and the study is more than a decade old.
81%
of consumers used Google to evaluate local businesses
Google remains where most people look before choosing a local business, which is why map visibility matters.
About this number
1,026 US adults on a representative panel. The report says Google's share was 87% in 2023, 81% in 2024, and rose again in 2025.
Figures come from the published studies linked on each card and reflect their samples, years and search types. They're shown as evidence that map position matters, not as a promise of results for any one business.

Why it matters
Local search is different for salons & fitness
Discovery is the funnel
Most first visits start with a Maps search. Visibility is new-customer volume.
Many near-identical competitors
When businesses look alike, position on the map decides who gets the click.
Seasonal pushes
New-year and wedding-season campaigns need a baseline to measure against.

What this tells you
Strongest to the north, fading toward the south where competitors take the top spots.
The green spots are where a customer searching right there sees you in Google's top 3. The red and grey ones are neighborhoods where you're losing the call to someone else.
What improvement looks like
From scattered visibility to owning the neighborhood
The goal of local SEO work is to turn red and amber spots green. A grid lets you see it happen. This is an illustration, not a customer result.

Salons & fitness rank tracking: common questions
Can I track a chain of studios?
Yes. Add each location and compare them side by side.
How often should I scan?
Monthly is a good baseline, or weekly during a launch or campaign.
What do the colours on the map mean?
Green is a top 3 position, amber is 4 to 10, red is 11 to 20 and grey means not in the top 20.
What's a token?
One token runs one spot of a scan. A 5×5 scan is 25 tokens and a 7×7 is 49 for each keyword. Spots that can't be checked are refunded automatically. Tokens never expire.
What do I get free?
Every new account gets 25 free tokens, enough for a complete 5×5 scan. No card needed.
