Common questions about how FieldRank works, who it's for, and what results to expect.

Last updated: March 2026

What is FieldRank?

FieldRank is a local SEO platform built specifically for home service contractors. It turns every jobsite visit into a Google Maps ranking signal. When your technician checks in at a job, FieldRank automatically posts a geotagged photo to your Google Business Profile, generates a location-specific description, and builds the geographic authority that pushes you higher in 'near me' searches.

How does jobsite check-in work?

When your tech arrives at a job, they open the FieldRank app and snap a photo. That's it — 30 seconds. FieldRank captures the GPS coordinates automatically, generates an AI-written description of the work and location, and posts everything to your Google Business Profile. Your crew never has to think about SEO.

Do I need to know SEO to use FieldRank?

No. FieldRank is designed for contractors, not marketers. You don't need to understand keywords, meta tags, or schema markup. The app handles all of that automatically. Your only job is to make sure your team checks in at job sites. FieldRank does the rest.

What trades and industries does FieldRank work for?

FieldRank works for any home service business that completes jobs at customer locations. This includes HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, landscaping, painting, general contracting, pool service, pest control, cleaning services, flooring, and more. If you drive to customer locations to do work, FieldRank can help you rank for those searches in those neighborhoods.

How much does FieldRank cost?

FieldRank Pro is $299 per month and includes everything: unlimited check-ins, unlimited team members, Google Business Profile auto-posting, AI-generated descriptions, the website photo gallery widget, schema markup, coverage analytics, and priority support. Early access members lock in this price for life — even when we raise it.

How quickly will I see results?

Most contractors see measurable improvements in Google Maps visibility within 60–90 days of consistent check-ins. The effect is cumulative: each check-in adds to your geographic authority. Companies with active crews completing multiple jobs per day tend to see faster results. SEO is not instant, but FieldRank makes it as fast as possible by automating the right signals.

Does FieldRank work with Google Business Profile?

Yes — Google Business Profile integration is the core of FieldRank. Every check-in automatically creates a GBP post with a geotagged photo and AI-written description. This keeps your profile consistently active, which Google factors heavily into local search rankings. You'll need to connect your GBP account during setup, which takes about 2 minutes.

Can my whole team use FieldRank?

Yes — unlimited team members included at no extra cost.

Is GPS tracking always on?

No. FieldRank only captures your location when a team member actively initiates a check-in through the app. There is no background tracking. The GPS coordinates are captured at the moment of the photo, tied to that specific job, and used to create the local SEO signal. Your team's location is not tracked between check-ins.

What makes this different from posting on social media?

Social media posts don't help your Google Maps ranking. When you post on Facebook or Instagram, you're building an audience on those platforms — not sending signals to Google. FieldRank creates GPS-verified, geotagged content that posts directly to your Google Business Profile, which is exactly what Google uses to determine local search rankings. It's targeted, automated, and specifically designed to move you up in local search.

Do I need a website?

No. FieldRank works with or without a website. The primary impact is on your Google Business Profile and Google Maps ranking, which doesn't require a website. If you do have a website, FieldRank also provides an embeddable photo gallery widget that auto-updates with your check-in photos and includes LocalBusiness schema markup — which can improve your website's local SEO as well.
