1 · Run the onboarding wizard

/onboarding walks you through business identity, service inventory (paste-a-list supported), and territory radius — the cap comes from your plan. The address is auto-geocoded to HQ coordinates; existing businesses load their saved HQ automatically.

2 · Activate zones

From /campaigns/launch, anchor on the business HQ or search any ZIP / city / address. Run the radius scan, select zones, activate — draft locations compile under the campaign.

3 · Install the loader

/integration gives you one script tag — paste before </body> on every page that should hydrate. Live injection requires an active plan; free tier is preview-only.

1 · Install & connect

Upload the plugin, then Settings → GeoMapEngine → Connect. It opens geomapengine.com — pick the business this site belongs to and you're done. No tokens to copy; the site receives a restricted token bound to that one business only.

2 · What activates automatically

The loader script injects itself on every page (toggleable), LocalBusiness schema + NAP sync from your dashboard — fed to Yoast/RankMath, never fighting them — and aggregateRating markup so Google can show your stars.

3 · Blocks everywhere you build

Rank Grid Map, NAP and Reviews work as Gutenberg blocks, Elementor widgets (when Elementor is active), and shortcodes — [geomapengine_grid], [geomapengine_nap], [geomapengine_reviews]. Reviews support limit and minimum-rating filters.

4 · Blog Publisher

Write or AI-generate posts in /blog, then publish now, save drafts, or schedule — the calendar shows WP and GBP entries side by side. Multi-site sends generate a unique localized variant per domain, featured image included. New WP posts can also cross-post to Google Business Profile automatically.

5 · Agency mode

Install on client sites without giving clients dashboard access — each site binds to exactly one business. Stealth mode hides the plugin from the Settings menu, white-label plans show "Powered by {your agency}" in front-end output, and /wordpress lists every site with live status and one-click revoke.

Dashboard — the Visibility Score

One number for local SEO health: business profile, citations, service-area coverage, review activity, NAP consistency and local schema — weighted, trended over scans. Fill the profile first (it weighs most), then chase the weakest part.

Site Scan

Crawls your pages in seconds and lists issues by severity — each with a Fix link straight to the right screen. Adds an SEO column to the Posts list so you see per-page health at a glance.

The editor SEO panel

On any post or page: set the SEO title and description (live SERP preview), add up to 5 focus keywords, watch the content score update as you write, and pick a schema template — 11 types from FAQ to JobPosting. Works with Elementor content too.

Settings

Titles & Meta — templates per post type with variables, set once. Local SEO — business profile (paste a Google Maps link to autofill), service areas, and the service × city coverage matrix — gaps get a ✦ button that drafts a localized page. Social & Verification — default share image and site verification tags. Sitemap — already live at /sitemap_index.xml, submit once to Search Console.

Tools tab

Redirects — slug changes auto-suggest a redirect; 404 Monitor — missing URLs logged, one click to redirect; Bulk Editor — rewrite titles/descriptions across posts at once; llms.txt — a live AI-readable business summary, generated from your data; IndexNow — instant indexing pings on publish; robots.txt — edit in place; Image SEO — backfills missing alt text across the media library.

Pro tools

Citations — NAP consistency across directories, seeded for your business type. Review Center — review requests, QR cards and a site badge. Reports — health snapshots, print-to-PDF and email digests. All unlock with the license key.

Everyday shortcuts

⌘K anywhere in wp-admin jumps to any RankEngine screen. Import / Export migrates Yoast, Rank Math or AIOSEO settings in one pass. Updates arrive through the license server automatically while the key is active — frontend SEO keeps working forever even after expiry.

1 · Launch a scan

/grid → pick your business, type the keyword a customer would search (e.g. "plumber near me"), choose grid size and radius, press Run. Each pin is a real map check from that spot — scans run in the background and you get a notification when the grid finishes.

2 · Read the heatmap

Pins show your rank at that point — green in the Map Pack (1–3), amber close (4–10), red far or invisible. The metric strip summarizes it: SoLV = % of pins where you're top-3, average rank, and coverage = % of pins where you're found at all. Hover any pin to see the actual top-3 competitors at that spot.

3 · Read the Listing Health Report

Below the map, every scan produces a health score plus a findings list: whether your Google listing is connected, if the listing name and identity match your records, coverage dead zones, review gaps versus the competitors beating you, and a posting-activity check. Each finding is written in plain language with numbered steps to fix it — no technical knowledge needed.

4 · Fix the weak zones

The report links straight to the right tool: activate a landing hub in a weak zone (Geo Citation Engine), queue GBP posts to a quiet profile (GBP Publisher), or schedule a re-scan to watch progress. Fix → re-scan → repeat.

Radius scan

Sweeps the geo_zones gazetteer with MySQL spatial distance math against your anchor POINT. Results list city name, type, and distance — select and activate to create draft locations.

Hub injection table

The campaign dashboard lists every active zone with controls to edit city/slug and SEO fields, purge a zone, or export the whole set to CSV.

Manual targeting

Prefer a specific city? Add it directly — the zone resolves through the same gazetteer and attaches to the campaign.

What the AI writes

Per zone: SEO title, meta description, H1 hero heading, localized body copy, and Q&A structured-data blocks. Jobs run async on the queue — large batches compile in the background.

The loader script

A single tag calls the hydrate API, which matches the visitor's domain + path to a location and injects the localized copy — Redis-cached for speed. Register each client domain under Script Integration.

Free tier behavior

Free accounts preview every generated block in-app. The live snippet stays locked until the workspace is on an active plan — enforcement happens at the hydrate endpoint, not just in the UI.

Content Calendar

/publishing — month/week views, click any future day to compose, drag queued posts between days to reschedule. Past days are locked read-only.

GBP Publisher schedules

/gbp — build schedules per business: prompt, tone, weekday cadence, best-time presets, start/end window, delivery mode. Drafts land in the approval queue; auto mode posts straight to GBP.

Request GBP access from the owner

/gbp → Overview — when the client owns the profile, open Request Access From the Owner: pick the business (or type one not onboarded yet), enter the owner's email, and review the pre-written email — your agency name, the business, your Google email and the exact Google steps (Business Profile settings → People and access → Add → Manager → Invite). Edit subject and message freely, preview it as the owner sees it, then send. Sent requests list under the card with one-click Resend, and flip to "Access granted" automatically once the location links.

Media Library

/files — multi-upload, live search, lightbox preview, in-use tracking, and a storage meter capped by your plan (MB/GB per tier). Cloud-drive sources are staged for a later release.

NAP re-sync

One click pulls live name / address / phone / Place ID from Google Business Profile and reconciles the local record.

Exports

Each campaign report offers PDF download and CSV export of activated zones — plus a shareable link and email delivery for client handoff.

White label

Plans with white-label reporting enabled strip GME branding from client-facing output — your agency name carries the delivery.

Plans & entitlements

Domains, cities per domain, pins per city, radius, GBP posts/month, seats, and media storage are all plan-defined. Public plans are self-serve via Stripe checkout; swaps and cancellations run through the billing portal.

Custom plans

Private tiers never appear on public pricing. They're provisioned via admin assignment or a one-time invite link that seats the signup on the custom plan and expires on redemption. Request one from Pricing.

Team seats

Invite members under /team — members inherit the account owner's plan and share all businesses and campaigns. Seat count is plan-capped.

Add-ons & coupons

Add-ons extend a single limit without a tier jump; coupons apply Stripe promotion codes at checkout.

Submit a ticket

From the workspace, open /support (or the ? menu in the top bar) — subject, category, message. Replies thread in place.

Common fixes

• Script locked → workspace needs an active plan (Billing → upgrade)
• Zones empty → confirm the business HQ geocoded during onboarding
• GBP posts failing → reconnect the Google profile, then run NAP re-sync
• Storage full → free space in Media Library or upgrade the tier

Notifications & live badges

The bell in the top bar collects in-app alerts — finished rank scans, published or failed GBP posts, AI drafts waiting for review, and support replies. Important events also land in your email. Numbered badges on the sidebar (and mobile More sheet) show live counts — a pulsing badge on Rank Grid means a scan is running; click any alert to jump straight to the relevant page.
