What does this tool do?

The Competitor Presence Report looks up the top businesses in your industry and area using Google Places, then compares their online presence against yours. You'll see real business names, their actual Google ratings, review counts, and whether they have a website.

Your own row is scored based on what you tell us about your current website, Google Business Profile, social media, and reviews.

This tool uses live data from Google. The competitors shown are real businesses found via Google Places API.

How to use this tool

Enter your business name and town — the tool searches for competitors in your area.
Answer the four questions about your current website, Google profile, social media, and review count. Be honest — the comparison is only useful with accurate inputs.
Select your industry — this determines what type of businesses are searched on Google.
Click "Compare My Presence" — the tool fetches real competitor data (this takes a few seconds).

Understanding the scores

Each business is scored out of 100 based on: website presence (25 points), Google Business Profile (25 points), review count (up to 25 points), star rating (up to 15 points), and social media (up to 15 points).

The gap between your score and the top competitor shows how much ground you need to cover to compete effectively for local customers.
