The GPS Matrix™ is SearchBoost Local’s framework for evaluating Google Business Profile visibility and performance. It separates how well a profile is optimized from how that profile is performing in real search conditions.
The Visibility Score measures how completely and correctly your Google Business Profile is set up. It evaluates how easily Google can understand, trust, and display your business.


The Performance Score measures how well your profile performs in real search conditions. It evaluates three core performance pillars, with a strong emphasis on actual search presence.
Bring Visibility and Performance Together
Your Visibility Score and Performance Score are combined to produce a single Overall SBL Score—the most complete picture of your Google Business Profile strength. Your Overall SBL Score determines your SBL Classification and helps identify where the greatest opportunities for improvement lie.

Understand Where You Stand
Your SBL Classification puts your Overall SBL Score into context and helps clarify where your profile stands and what the next stage of improvement looks like.

Below 50%
The Baseline classification indicates a profile that has substantial opportunities for improvement across its visibility and performance signals.

50%-84%
The Positioned classification indicates a profile with meaningful strengths in place, along with opportunities to further improve
