Common Questions

What local business owners ask about competitive intelligence.

What is a Competitive Edge Report?

A comprehensive analysis of your competitive position within your local market. It includes your ranking among all businesses in your niche, a breakdown of what your customers say about you compared to what your competitors' customers say about them, detailed intelligence on your five nearest competitors, and a prioritized action plan.

How is my business ranked?

We research every business in your niche within your metropolitan area — typically 60 to 400 businesses. Each is evaluated on reputation, review volume, and overall market presence.

Where does the data come from?

Publicly available information — business listings, reviews, ratings, and online presence. Most agencies look at 5 to 10 competitors. We cover every business in your market.

How is this different from a marketing agency?

Agencies audit 5 to 10 competitors for $1,000 to $2,500. We analyze 100 to 400 for $349. Exhaustive rather than selective. 48 hours rather than weeks.

How quickly do I get my report?

Within 48 hours. You receive a secure link to your personalized dashboard.

What can I do with the results?

Concrete, prioritized steps you can execute without hiring anyone — review response strategies, Google Business Profile optimizations, competitive positioning adjustments.

Do you serve businesses outside South Carolina?

Yes. Any metropolitan area across the United States, any service-based niche.

What types of businesses do you work with?

Independent, service-based local businesses — dentists, chiropractors, veterinarians, med spas, salons, HVAC, and similar niches. Chains and nonprofits are excluded from rankings.

Is my data shared with competitors?

No. Your report is private and delivered exclusively to you through your secure dashboard.
