Why one search doesn't tell you where you rank
Search "plumber" on your phone at home and you might be first. Your customer five suburbs away sees a different list, because Google Maps ranks businesses partly on how close they are to the person searching.
That's why this checker searches from 25 spots across your area. Most calls go to the three businesses at the top of the map, so the gold dots are the ones that matter.

It searches Google Maps for your search from 25 spots in a grid across about 5 km each way from your business, then shows where you came up at each one.

Being close helps, but Google also weighs how well your profile matches the search and how well-regarded you are: your categories, services, reviews, replies and recent activity. A business with many more recent reviews can outrank you right next door.
Your main service on its own, like "plumber" or "blocked drains", without a suburb. The checker searches from each spot, so the suburb is already built in.
Ask every happy customer for a Google review, reply to every review, keep your profile complete, and post regularly. No one can promise a position, but these are the things Google weighs that you control.
