GMB Everywhere
GMB Everywhere is a Chrome extension that audits a Google Business Profile — surfacing Place ID, category, and 40-plus other data points, comparing a listing against competitors, checking local-pack rank from any simulated location (Teleport), and using AI to draft posts, descriptions, and review responses.
Every core feature — Teleport's simulated-location rank checks, the audit's Place ID and category pulls, competitor comparisons — reads data that's already public on Google Maps and Search, and its AI content drafting is a hosted-model wrapper, not a proprietary index.
What you lose building it yourself
- ✕One extension auditing 40+ Business Profile data points across your own and competitors' listings
- ✕Teleport rank-checking from any location without spoofing your own browser's geolocation
- ✕AI-drafted posts, descriptions, review responses, and Q&A answers built in
- ✕Category Finder's traffic-volume estimates for choosing new GBP categories
Why people still pay
A DIY script checks rank from a handful of locations and drafts one type of content; GMB Everywhere's actual value is bundling the full audit (40+ data points), competitor comparisons, review/post tracking, and multiple AI content generators into one extension you don't have to build or maintain.
BUILD YOUR OWN · WEEKEND SCOPE
Reading a Business Profile's public data (category, Place ID, review count) and checking local-pack rank from a spoofed location are both realistic weekend builds for an AI coding tool: automate a browser to visit Google Maps/Search with different simulated coordinates and parse what's on the page. Matching every audit data point, competitor-comparison view, and the AI content-drafting layer across posts, descriptions, and review responses is more assembly work than a single script, but still no proprietary data behind any of it.
StackAn automated browser (e.g. Playwright) for reading Google Maps/Search and Local Finder pages · simulated-location parameters for rank checks at different points · a hosted LLM API for drafting posts/descriptions/review responses · a small script or spreadsheet to log results.
Build a Python script using Playwright that opens Google Maps, searches for a given keyword from a specified latitude/longitude (a simulated location), and checks whether a named business appears in the local pack results, recording its position or 'not found'. Repeat for a list of 5 simulated locations around a target address and print a table of positions per location. Separately, use a hosted AI model to draft a single Google Business Profile post (under 1,500 characters) given the business name, category, and a one-line topic.
QUESTIONS
Is GMB Everywhere affiliated with Google?
No — its own site and terms describe it as an independent third-party tool that is not part of Google; it reads publicly available Google Business Profile and Maps data rather than being an official Google product.
How does the Teleport feature check rank from another location?
It simulates a search from a chosen location rather than your browser's actual position — the same simulated-location technique dedicated geo-grid rank trackers use, just checked one point at a time instead of across a full grid.
Does the free tier actually work, or is it a trial?
It's a real ongoing free tier — 5 combined audit/scan views per month, no credit card required — rather than a time-limited trial; unlimited use requires the $30/mo (or $15/mo billed annually) plan.
