We know what it's like on the inside of a local business.
Our founder spent years managing the day-to-day operations of a local business — billing, scheduling, filing, vendor orders, keeping the software running. The kind of work that doesn't leave much time to ask: how are we actually doing compared to everyone else?
The reviews, the ratings, the competitor listings — it's all out there. But no one running a business has time to study 150 competitors one by one. That's the gap Medieval Marketer was built to fill.
Marketing agencies charge $1,500 to $2,500 to review a handful of your competitors. We analyze every business in your market — often 100 to 400 — so you see the full picture, not a sample someone picked.
Everything we deliver is specific to your business, your niche, and your market. Not a template with your name dropped in.
Every report covers your full market — not a handful of competitors we picked. Every one of them.
The full market: Every independent business in your niche across your metro area is identified and verified. Chains and franchises are filtered out — your ranking reflects the operators you actually compete with.
What customers are saying: Not just star ratings — the actual language in reviews. What your customers praise, what they complain about, and how that compares to what your competitors' customers experience.
Your nearest competitors: The five businesses closest to you geographically get a deep comparison. These are the ones your customers are most likely choosing between. We show you where you win and where they have an edge.
What to do about it: Every finding comes with a specific, prioritized action. Not "improve your online presence" — concrete steps with expected outcomes that you can execute this week.
We exclude chains and franchises from your competitive ranking. Your report reflects the market as you actually experience it.
