Know if your marketing is actually working.
You're paying for an agency, an in-house hire, and activations — but is any of it bringing more people into your store? Grocery Pulse tells you in minutes.
Your agency is busy. But is it busy working for you?
Most independent grocers have no way to connect their marketing spend to real sales. The content looks good. The numbers on Instagram go up. But the store? You're not sure.
Trend-chasing content
Your agency is posting trending videos that have nothing to do with your store, your deals, or your community.
They're marketing themselves
Every post tags the agency. They're borrowing your 30 years of community trust to get their next client. That's not your ROI.
No trackable results
No promo codes. No POS connection. No way to know if a single customer walked in because of your content.
Spending without knowing
Agency fees, paid segments, equipment, designers — it adds up fast. But does it add up to more sales?
Simple inputs. Clear answers.
Grocery Pulse takes what you already know — your sales numbers, your marketing spend, your social stats — and turns it into a clear picture of what's working.
Enter your week
Sales vs. last year, what you spent on marketing, what content you posted.

⚠️ Bot warning: When your top city doesn't match your store's location, it can sometimes signal bot activity. Bad actors inflate follower counts to create the illusion of growth — but by tracking accounts reached, profile visits, AND city data together, Grocery Pulse helps you spot the difference between real community growth and fake numbers. Check your Instagram Insights → Audience → Top Cities and take action.
