The map is not loading at all when I try to run a scan. Why is there is a white space where the map should be?
You can always try loading the Map Scan page in another browser. If the map loads, then the issue is specific to one browser and you may need to change a setting. Here are some setting updates that may fix the problem:
Chrome Fix
Firefox Fix
Internet Explorer Fix
Microsoft Edge Fix
Mac/Apple Fix
Please contact us via the live chat or email us at account [at] localfalcon.com if you still do not see a map on the Map Scan page.
Why is my Scan Report showing no results for my business?
If your business specifically isn't showing up in your Scan Report, it's possible you're either using the wrong scan settings or your business simply isn't visible in the scanned area.
If you're sure your scan settings are right and your business is visibile on the platform(s) you're scanning, it's also possible that there's a technical issue. There are millions of businesses with all kinds of different variables and, although we have done our best to account for the majority of them, there will always be some that don't fit the mold for whatever (technical) reason.
As always, we appreciate your continued use, and if you have any questions feel free to contact us at account [at] localfalcon.com.
Why does the scan geo-grid have different colored ranking pins seemingly at random?
Normally the best ranking position (the greenest) should be at the location of the business, and then the numbered positions should get higher as you radiate away from the center (shifting from yellow to orange to red the further away you get from the location).
If you see very irregular scan results, such as rankings that get better further away from the center point, this can indicate an error and we would be happy to take a look at the specific search.
Why doesn't the map have a geo-grid when I choose a business from my locations?
How can I quickly find certain reports?
What criteria can I filter reports by?
How do I filter reports using Location Groups?
There are two ways to do this. The first is by opening up a Campaign Report and selecting the group you want to filter for from the "Filter Campaign Data by Group" drop-down. The second is by going to the hub for any report type, clicking the "Filters" button, and setting a Location Group as one of your filter parameters.

What are Metric Insights in Local Falcon Scan Reports?
Metric Insights are advanced data points included in Scan Reports that help you understand how your business compares to competitors across the scanned area. These metric insights — SoLV Distance, OSoLV, and Competitors — highlight your geographic ranking reach, your potential to close the gap with top performers, and the number of businesses that truly compete with you for top-ranking positions. They provide deeper context beyond ARP, ATRP, and SoLV so you can make more informed local SEO decisions.
Can I export all of my scans to a CSV?
Yes! There are many ways to do this; however, you'll need to run a scan at least twice in order to export in bulk or use Campaigns. You can also use this Looker Studio Template if neither of those cases are applicable to you.
What should my SoLV be?
The ultimate SoLV goal is always 100, but in most cases that isn't going to happen for a number of reasons.
We recommend running a few scans to see how far you currently reach (i.e., grid points where you have a SoLV above 0), then using that info set a goal on how far you want to reach in X number of months. Use that distance goal when setting up your reports, then strive to get your SoLV to as close to 100 as possible.
However, depending on how competitive the area is, getting your SoLV to 100 may not be possible. You could then use the Competitor Report to see who has the highest SoLV in the area and set the goal to surpass them.
If I change the address of the business on Google Business Profile (GBP) will the scan still work?
Once the address is officially updated on Google Business Profile, you can update the address in your account by navigating to your "Saved Locations" from the "Locations" drop-down and clicking the button with the pencil icon to enter a new address for your listing. This will ensure you continue to receive accurate scan results.
