New Feature: Competitor Analysis
See where you stand in local rankings.
Competitor Analysis shows how your locations rank on Google against nearby competitors, point by point across your local area.
What You Can See:
- Google ranking positions across 35 local points within a set radius
- Your top 20 local competitors in the area
- Visibility percentage (e.g. 100% = ranking in the top 20 at all 35 points)
- A detailed map view of your rankings at each point
- Click any competitor to drill down into their own ranking map
How It Works
The scan uses real-time data from Google’s “Places” search (type: establishment), so it covers any type of business with a physical address. You can run a scan by brand name, keyword, or address, and get full results in 10 to 20 seconds. The average ranking is calculated across the 35 points, while visibility tells you how often your location appears in the top 20. For example, if you’re #5 in some areas but don’t rank at all in others, you’ll see a lower visibility score.
“The tool reveals the truth behind why some businesses outrank others, even when they’re right next door.”
