# Automate Google Maps on a real phone.

Your agent opens Google Maps on its own real phone, an Android or iOS device with a genuine hardware fingerprint. Real location, real network, so it sees what customers see.

## What agents do in Google Maps.

- **Check your local rank from real locations**: See where your business ranks from a real phone on a real IP, not a datacenter. Your agent runs the search a customer runs.
- **Track your visibility per market**: Run the same query across every market you care about, on devices located there, and compare how your listing surfaces.
- **QA navigation and head-unit flows**: Drive turn-by-turn, route, and hand-off flows. Your agent checks navigation and head-unit behavior before users do.

## Why a real phone.

Local Maps results depend on where requests come from; a datacenter IP or emulator distorts them. mobilerun runs your agent on a real Android or iOS phone with a real location and network, so results match reality. Drive it via API, SDK, MCP, or chat VA.

- Real hardware, real device and agent identity. Real phones that pass the checks real apps run, so what you measure matches what a real local user sees.
- Any model, any framework. Drive the phone via API, SDK, or MCP, or just describe the task to the chat VA.
- Reads the accessibility tree, up to about 90% cheaper than vision-only, so multi-market rank sweeps stay affordable. Pay as you go, stateful on request.

## Example tasks

- open my business profile in google maps, review new customer reviews, and reply to each
- search my store category nearby, capture the top listings and ratings as JSON
- check my business hours and address on google maps, flag anything outdated
- open google maps, walk the search-to-directions flow, and confirm each step loads

## FAQ

**Can I automate Google Maps with an AI agent?**

Yes. mobilerun gives your AI agent a real Android or iOS phone, and it drives Maps like a person, searching, checking rank, and running navigation. Connect any model via API, SDK, or MCP, or use the chat VA.

**Does it look like a normal user?**

It is a normal user. Your agent runs on a real phone that passes the checks real apps run and reads as an ordinary device in an ordinary place. That legitimacy makes your rank checks and QA trustworthy.

**Can I check how my business ranks in different cities?**

Yes. Run the same search on real phones in each market you care about and compare the local results side by side. Because each check runs on a real device in that region, the ranking matches what locals see.
