The GMB app is gone. Here are all the ways to access your GBP performance data in 2026 — free options, their limitations, and the dedicated tools that show you everything in one place.
The Problem This Solves in 2026
Most local businesses and agencies are either missing this entirely or doing it in the most time-consuming, error-prone way possible. This guide covers the right approach — and shows exactly how Ampli5 Pulse makes it effortless.
Free Options for Checking GBP Performance
| Method | How to Access | Data Available | Limitation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Maps Performance | Open Maps > search business > tap name > Performance | Impressions, views, actions (30/90 days) | Limited date range; no keyword ranking; no competitor data |
| Google Search Performance | Search business name on desktop > View performance | Same metrics as Maps view | Same limitations; slightly different interface |
| Google Business Profile Manager | business.google.com > select location > Insights | Multi-location overview; posting performance | Dated interface; still limited to same metrics |
| Google Search Console | search.google.com/search-console | Organic keyword performance; CTR | GBP-specific ranking not included; website SEO only |
What Ampli5 Pulse Shows That Native Tools Don't

- Geo-grid heatmap — your ranking across a grid of points in your service area, not just at your premises pin
- Competitor comparison — your metrics side-by-side with your top 3 local competitors
- Historical trend data beyond 90 days — full history from the day you connect
- Automatic period comparison — month-over-month and year-over-year calculated automatically
- AI-generated action plan — based on your data, not generic advice
