SERP Scan offers local rank tracking for Google Places and other local content. If you have a SEO client that wants you to rank for a generic local term like “pizza” this is what you need.
Google returns slightly different search results when it thinks the searcher is looking for something nearby. The biggest differences occur on the first page when Google Places are added. For example, if you search for 'pizza' you'll probably see a list of pizza restaurants near you.
