81
4 miles across
81 pins, about 16 square miles for a square grid. A circle leaves out the corners.
The sum
Pins, credits and distance
Pins = size × size, and each pin costs one credit for each keyword. The grid reaches (size − 1) × spacing from side to side. Starting points by kind of business are in the guide to grid size and spacing; the cost of your whole book is in the credit calculator.

Questions
Questions about grid size
How far does a grid reach?
The pins sit at the edges, so a square grid covers (size − 1) × spacing from side to side. A 9×9 grid 0.5 mi apart covers 4 miles.
How many credits does a grid use?
One per pin for each keyword: a 7×7 grid uses 49, a 9×9 grid 81 and a 13×13 grid 169.
Does a circle cost less than a square?
A circle leaves out the corners, so it uses fewer pins for the same width.
