Distance is a ranking factor

Google ranks the map pack partly on how far your business is from the person searching. Knowing the real drive distance to the towns you want tells you where the map pack is winnable and where you need a location page to rank organically instead.

Use it for your service area

Service area businesses (plumbers, cleaners, landscapers) set a list of towns or a radius in Google Business Profile. Setting it to towns within a realistic drive time keeps your profile credible and your leads close.

Addresses, towns or coordinates

Type a full address, a town and state, or latitude and longitude like 41.6986, -88.0684. Distances come from OpenStreetMap routing data, and the button opens the same route in Google Maps.

Google Maps Distance Calculator: FAQ

Why does it say the distance is estimated?
When the routing service is busy the tool falls back to straight-line distance with a road factor. It is usually within 10%.
Can I rank in a town 25 miles away?
Rarely in the map pack, but yes in organic results with a dedicated page for that town, reviews that mention it and citations that list it in your service area.
Does this use my location?
No. It only uses the two places you type.
