People searching in LoDo and people searching in RiNo behave nothing alike — different words, different times of day, different winners. Most owners compete with the whole city when they only need to win a few blocks.

By the time it shows up in the till it has been true for half a year. Tap a shop to see where it stands.

Reviews and photos feed the visibility score above, but they aren't the ranking on their own — a highly-rated shop can still be hard to find.

How this was measured
Rank and “leads” = the Local Visibility Score — how often a shop lands in the top Google Maps results across a grid of points around Denver, for the trade's relevant keywords (points nearer each searcher count more). 100 means top of the map almost everywhere.
Direction = that score over the last 90 days versus the previous 90. Ratings, reviews and photos are shown as context — they feed the score but are not the ranking on their own.
Sources: Google Maps grid rank scans and business listings (DataForSEO), Google Trends. Refreshed monthly. Figures shown are sample data for demonstration.
