20+ Ranking Signals Analysed Per Competitor
We leave no stone unturned. Every factor that could be giving your competition an advantage is identified, scored, and turned into an actionable gap you can close.
Review Velocity Analysis
We count how many reviews each competitor gets per month, analyse their average star rating, identify review response patterns, and calculate your exact review gap — then give you a plan to close it.
GBP Post Frequency Audit
We audit how many posts each competitor publishes per month, what post types they use (offers, events, updates), and the engagement each post generates — identifying content gaps you can exploit.
Category Strategy Comparison
We reveal which primary and secondary categories your top competitors are using — including hidden categories that could unlock new keyword rankings for your business.
Citation Gap Analysis
We identify every high-authority directory your competitors are listed on that you aren't — then build those missing citations to close the trust-signal gap with Google's algorithm.
Photo & Media Benchmark
We count and categorise every photo type your competitors have uploaded — exterior, interior, team, product, and menu shots — and score you against the local pack average.
