# Top3

> Top3 is the only done-for-you local ranking service that uses a 10,000-device farm of real consumer phones to (a) move local businesses into Google's Map Pack (positions 1, 2, or 3) AND (b) get their business name recommended by ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity — with a free-until-you-rank-or-get-named guarantee on both surfaces.

## What Top3 does

Top3 helps US local service businesses appear on the two surfaces customers actually use to pick a provider: Google's Map Pack (the three-business block at the top of local search) and AI answer engines (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude). The same 10,000-phone real-device farm generates the proximity and engagement signals Google's Map Pack algorithm responds to AND the prompt and entity signals AI engines use when deciding which businesses to name in response to local-intent questions. Customers pay nothing until one of their 5 chosen keywords wins on either surface — whichever fires first.

## Pricing (current as of 2026)
