Google Map 3-Pack in 90 Days. Guaranteed.

The Map 3-Pack is the block of three local businesses Google shows at the top of Maps and local search results for a given query. For most service businesses it drives more phone calls than the regular "10 blue links," because it sits above them and shows your rating, hours, and a call button. Ranking in the 3-Pack for your service in your area is the single highest-leverage local-SEO outcome — and the outcome MapBoostXL guarantees in 90 days.

Ask Maps is Google's natural-language search inside Google Maps, powered by Gemini. Instead of typing "AC repair," people now ask Maps full questions like "find an HVAC company open right now near me with great reviews," and Maps composes an AI answer that recommends a business. It matters because that answer often skips the classic 3-Pack entirely — so a business optimized only for ranking can be invisible to it. We optimize for both surfaces in the same program.

The 3-Pack is a ranked list Google assembles from relevance, distance, and prominence. Ask Maps is an AI-composed answer to a multi-criteria question — it weighs structured Q&A, complete attributes, fresh reviews with rich language, entity-clear service descriptions, and geo-tagged photos. You can rank in the 3-Pack and still lose Ask Maps if your profile isn't structured for AI to compose you into an answer. That's why we treat Ask Maps as a parallel performance layer, not an afterthought.

Through our eighth service, Ask Maps & Gemini AI Map Result Optimization: we seed question-and-answer schema on your GBP and website, map conversational "intents" to your services, structure your entity relationships (services × locations × attributes × reviews) so Gemini can compose your business into a multi-criteria answer, make your photos and captions AI-readable, and track Ask Maps responses where measurable. Foundation gets the Q&A schema basics; Pro gets the full optimization layer.

On the Pro plan, if your business is not ranked in the Google Map 3-Pack on at least one tracked service keyword, in at least one cell of your agreed service-area grid, on day 90 — we refund 100% of MapBoostXL fees paid during the 90-day window. The day-90 Local Falcon grid scan is the measurement. A few conditions apply (GBP edit access transferred within 7 days, no pausing or downgrading during the window). The full wording is on our pricing and how-it-works pages.

You get every dollar of MapBoostXL fees you paid during the 90-day window back, processed within 5 business days of the qualifying day-90 scan. No arguing, no fine-print games — the Local Falcon grid scan is the timestamped, objective measurement both sides agree to up front.

Because Map Pack ranking and traditional organic SEO are different games. The Map 3-Pack is driven by your Google Business Profile completeness, citation consistency, review velocity, and proximity signals — all of which we can move deliberately and quickly. We're not waiting on domain authority to age; we're aligning the specific signals Google uses to rank local businesses, on a weekly cadence, with grid proof.

BoostXL is AI search and discovery across general AI tools — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and voice assistants. MapBoostXL is Maps-specific: classic Google Map 3-Pack ranking plus Ask Maps and Gemini-powered Map result optimization. They're sibling brands in the XL Marketing Agency family and bundle together at a discount, but they solve different discovery problems.

Yes. Multi-location businesses, franchisees, and agencies are served on the Custom plan, with per-location GBP and grid tracking, custom keyword and service-area scope, white-label reporting, and custom guarantee terms by market. Talk to us and we'll scope it.

Local Falcon is a grid-based rank tracker. Instead of checking your rank from a single location, it checks from a grid of simulated points across your service area and produces a heat-map showing exactly where you win and lose. It's the same tool we use for paying clients — and it's the objective measurement behind the 90-day guarantee.

Yes. Every plan is month-to-month with no setup fees and no long-term contract. You can cancel anytime. (Note: pausing or downgrading during an active 90-day guarantee window voids that guarantee.)

No — website rebuilds are ResultsXL, our sibling brand. MapBoostXL focuses on Google Maps and Google Business Profile. If you need both, we bundle: combining MapBoostXL with ResultsXL or BoostXL earns at least 15% off across both brands, or full XLMA stack pricing across all three.

It’s a single market-relative score from 0–100 for your business in your specific city and service, built from six measured signals: web authority, search visibility, AI-answer visibility, local-grid presence, review trust, and content/technical health. We always show it with the reason — for example, “you lead on reviews but trail on coverage and AI answers” — so instead of a vague “coverage %,” you get one defensible number you can act on and watch move.

We scan how your business actually shows up in Google’s AI map answers (Ask Maps / Gemini) for your core terms — whether you’re named, and who gets cited instead — and reverse-engineer the signals those cited businesses share: structured Q&A, entity-clear service and service-area data, AI-readable photos and captions, and recent, specific reviews. That tells us exactly what to fix to get you into the answer, and we re-check it as part of the weekly loop.

Harmonic centrality is a measure of how authoritative a site looks within the structure of the open web — calculated from the Common Crawl web graph, the same web-scale data the AI models now answering local questions are trained on. It’s the closest available read on how authoritative AI systems consider your business, and it feeds both classic Map “prominence” and Ask Maps visibility. Almost no local agency measures it; we treat it as a core input and work to raise it with local links and content.

A normal gap report is guesswork — someone eyeballs a competitor’s site and lists impressions. Our content-gap engine pulls your competitors’ actual pages from the web archive, extracts the real topics, schema, and FAQ structure they’ve published, and diffs them against your site. The output is a concrete list of the exact pages, schema, and answers you’re missing — prescribed builds our team then executes, not vague advice.
