      What is CityBoost and How Does It Work?

      CityBoost is diib's newest Boost for Pro members - it's perfect for local businesses (and works great with LocalBoost).

      If you run a local business, you’ve probably noticed how much visibility in Google Maps can affect your sales. When people search for things like “pizza near me” or “plumber in Denver”, they often click the first results in the Google Map Pack (that box of businesses right at the top of the page).

      CityBoost is a new Boost from diib that shows you exactly where your business ranks in those Map Pack results for the keywords you care about. Even better, it gives you competitor insights and step-by-step tips on how to rank higher.

      How CityBoost Works

      1. Pick Your Keywords

        • Choose 5 keywords with the Better Plan or 10 keywords with the Best Plan.

      2. Track Your Rankings

        • Every two weeks, you’ll get a report for each keyword you’re tracking. That means 5 or 10 detailed reports, sent twice a month.

        • Each report shows your ranking down to the street or ZIP code level, so you can see exactly where you’re strong and where you’re missing visibility.

      3. Understand the Competition

        • See which competitors are ranking above you, what they’re doing right, and where they’re falling short.

      4. Follow Your Action Plan

        • Each report includes a local SEO action plan with practical steps to improve your rankings.

        • You’ll also get data-driven tips on how to strengthen your Google Business Profile and boost your visibility.

      Who Should Use CityBoost?

      CityBoost is designed for any local business that wants to show up higher in Google Maps:

      • Brick-and-mortar shops (pizza places, salons, retail stores)

      • Service providers (plumbers, electricians, dog groomers)

      • Businesses using LocalBoost

      As long as you have a Google Business Profile (GBP), you can use CityBoost.

      Reports You’ll Get

      Each CityBoost Scan Report includes:

      • A color-coded ranking map showing where you show up in Google Maps searches

      • Accurate rank tracking for your selected keywords

      • Competitor insights to see what you’re up against

      • Actionable local SEO steps you can take right away

      • Tips to improve visibility in your target areas

      CityBoost Plans

      Both plans deliver biweekly reports for each keyword.

      FAQs

      A: You can, but we suggest tracking the same keywords for a few months to see progress.

      Q: Does CityBoost automatically improve my ranking?

      Q: Can I use CityBoost for multiple business locations?
      A: Yes! Each location will need its own CityBoost subscription.

      Why CityBoost Matters

      When people are searching for a service, they usually don’t scroll past the first few map results. CityBoost helps you understand exactly where you stand—and what you can do to climb higher.

      It’s like having a roadmap to better rankings in Google Maps, delivered straight to your inbox twice a month.
