## **What Is Local Pack Tracking?**

Local Pack tracking monitors how your business appears in Google's Local Pack — the map-based results shown for location-specific searches. Setting this up correctly for the right locations gives you accurate, hyperlocal ranking data.

## **Setting Up Local Pack Keyword Tracking**

Local Pack tracking is part of Rank Tracker. Local Pack tracking is tied to a **location** you specify (for example, a city and state) inside your Rank Tracker project — a precise location is what makes Local Pack data appear at all. A linked Google Business Profile is a separate, optional step: it does not gate whether Local Pack results show up, but it does let the system identify which result in the Local Pack is your own business so you can track your specific ranking position within it.

1. Open your Rank Tracker project via **Keywords → Rank Tracker (Keyword Rank Tracker)** and go to **View Keywords**.
2. Click **Start Tracking** to open the tracking setup modal.
3. Confirm the location shown, or add another one with **+ Add New Location**. A single project can track more than one location.
4. After tracking begins, use the **Local Pack** filter tab to view keywords that rank in the Local Pack for that location.

## **Two Ways to Add Keywords**

There are two supported ways to add keywords to a Rank Tracker project:

- **Manually:** type the keywords into the "Enter keywords to track" box in the tracking setup modal opened from **Keywords → Rank Tracker (Keyword Rank Tracker)** via **Start Tracking**.
- **From Keyword Research:** go to **Keywords > Keyword Researcher**, find keywords relevant to the location, and use **Add to list**.

There is currently no one-click option to bulk-copy or transfer an existing keyword set from one project to another — keywords need to be added to each project using one of the two methods above.
