A preview of the report layout. Figures shown are illustrative — yours are computed from live data.

What you actually get

Three things you can act on

Not a score with no explanation — the report shows the standing, the specific gaps behind it, and the language your market already uses.

The standings

Where you rank against all three competitors, scored on the same six signals and normalized to whoever is actually leading your market.

Six gaps, six fixes

Every dimension you trail on, how far back you are in points, and the specific move that closes it.

Voice of the market

The words customers keep using about each business — what the leader gets praised for that you do not.

Start with your business name. It takes about two minutes, and the finished report is emailed to you.

Competitive Standing Report · Step 1 of 5
Step 1 — Find your business

Which business is this report for?

Start typing your business name and select it from Google's suggestions, or switch to manual search for service-area businesses without a storefront address.

How it works

Three steps, start to finish

1

Tell us about your business

Find your listing, then confirm the three competitors you actually lose work to.

2

We run the showdown

We pull live Google data for all four and score them head-to-head on the same six signals.

3

You get the game plan

Your standings, where the gaps are, and a 90-day plan for closing them.

Why it matters

Six signals decide who gets called first

Google weighs these when it decides who shows up in the map pack. Customers weigh them when they decide who to trust.

Velocity

How fast new reviews are arriving right now.

Volume

The lifetime pile buyers use as a tie-breaker.

Rating

Where you sit on the stars people filter by.

Engagement

How often the owner actually replies.

Recovery

What happens after a bad review lands.

Freshness

Whether the profile still has a pulse.

The difference it makes

Without the report

  • You know a competitor is doing better, but not on what.
  • Review requests happen when someone remembers to ask.
  • A bad review sits there because nobody owns the reply.
  • Marketing spend goes to whatever felt urgent that month.

With the report

  • You know exactly which signals you trail on, and by how much.
  • You know which single gap is worth closing first.
  • You have a 90-day plan instead of a vague intention.
  • You can tell whether the effort is working next quarter.
About

Why this exists

Most local businesses are told they need “more reviews” without ever being shown where they actually stand. That is a hard thing to act on, and an easy thing for someone to sell against.

ReviewIdea started as a way to answer the question properly: pull the real data, score it the same way for everyone, and show a business owner the honest picture — including the parts where they are already winning.

It is a Joyful Evolver project, built by Lauren.

FAQ

Questions people ask first

What does it cost?
Nothing. The report is free, there is no card required, and there is no trial that turns into a charge.
Where does the data come from?
Public Google data for your business and the three competitors you pick — the same listings and reviews any customer can see. Nothing is estimated or invented; every number in the report traces back to that data.
How long does it take?
About two minutes to set up. Pulling and scoring the reviews takes a short while after that, so the finished report is emailed to you as soon as it is ready.
What if I don't know my competitors?
We suggest the strongest businesses in your category nearby, ranked by review volume. You can swap any of them or search for a specific business by name — the final call is always yours, and it is what keeps the comparison honest.
Will my competitors know I ran this?
No. Nothing is posted, nothing is sent to them, and they are never contacted. The report is a private read of public information, and only you get the link.
What happens after I get the report?
It is yours to use. The report ends with a 90-day action plan you can work through on your own, and if you would rather have help with it, there is a way to ask — but nothing is gated behind that.
