The authoritative daily SEO briefing on Google Business Profile, the Map Pack, and local search — read by local SEO agencies, GBP specialists, and the multi-location operators they serve.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm the maker of Map Observer. The authoritative daily SEO briefing on Google Business Profiles, the Map Pack, and local search. Curated for SEO agencies and multi-location operators, and local business. Why we built it: Local SEO tooling is dominated by paid, gated products. Map Observer is free, has no sign-up wall, and is maintained by the Map Observer newsroom — the same team publishing daily coverage of Google Business Profile and the Map Pack. We monitor the key people at Google, Google Blogs, Reddit and other sources to bring you the latest news, in an understandable format. Happy to answer any questions about local SEO, Google Business Profile, or how we built this. Feedback very welcome.

How does Map Observer actually surface the daily changes in the Map Pack, is it scraping-based or pulling from the Google API directly?

The daily briefing format is a smart call, way easier to digest than chasing a dozen GBP blogs. Love that it cuts straight to what actually moves rankings in the Map Pack.
