How does the Visibility Score work?

Last updated March 1, 2026

How does the Visibility Score work?

Your Visibility Score is a 0–100 rating that measures how well your Google Business Profile performs in local search. It is the core metric Maps Agent uses to track your progress.

What factors make up the score

The Visibility Score evaluates your Google Business Profile across several dimensions:

  • Profile completeness — Are all fields filled out? Hours, categories, description, photos, attributes
  • Keyword relevance — Does your profile match what potential customers are searching for?
  • Review signals — Total reviews, average rating, review recency, and owner response rate
  • Post activity — How frequently you publish Google Posts and updates
  • Category optimization — Primary and secondary categories aligned with search intent
  • Citation consistency — Is your business name, address, and phone number consistent across the web?

How the score is calculated

Each factor is weighted based on its impact on Google Maps rankings. The final score reflects your overall local search visibility relative to competitors in your area.

Score Range Rating What it means
80–100 Excellent Top-performing profile, strong Map Pack presence
60–79 Good Solid foundation, specific areas to improve
40–59 Fair Missing key optimizations, losing customers to competitors
0–39 Poor Significant issues, likely invisible in local search
