What changes

01

See the real gaps

A head-to-head comparison shows exactly where a rival is ahead, whether that’s more new reviews a month, replying to reviews more often or a better spot on the map, so you know what to work on first.

02

Learn from their reviews

Praise and complaints from their recent reviews show what customers love about the places down the road, and what lets them down. That’s useful when you’re deciding what to shout about.

03

Watch the race unfold

A review-count race tracks you against each rival month by month, and once there are two months of data you get a watchlist too, so changes don’t creep up on you unnoticed.

The film

Three self-contained chapters: a monthly Google Maps scan from a grid of points around the business, a monthly check of whether ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity name it, and a monthly head-to-head with the local rivals it picks.

0:01Where you show up on Google Maps depends on where your customer is standing.

0:06So once a month, we run your key search from a grid of points around your business, as if a customer were standing at each one.

0:13You see where you're top three, where you don't appear at all, who beats you at each point, and two or three plain-English things to do next.

0:24Customers can now ask AI assistants where to go, too.

0:28Once a month, we put up to four of your customers' questions to ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity, each answering from live web results.

0:37You see whether you're named, how high, and who's named instead. Nobody can buy a recommendation, but now you'll know where you stand.

0:48And how do you stack up against your local rivals?

0:52Pick them from Google, and every month we check their rating and review count, new reviews, how often they reply, what customers praise and complain about, their AI visibility and map position.

1:04Then it's all set beside yours, head to head, so you can see where you're ahead, and where they're pulling away.

1:12LocalQuiver. Your marketing, sorted.

Questions

Six things, rechecked monthly: Google rating and review count, new reviews a month, how often they reply to reviews, the praise and complaints in their recent reviews, AI visibility on the same questions as you, and map position.

No. Competitor tracking looks at what customers see on Google and in AI answers: ratings, reviews, replies, map position and AI visibility. It doesn’t look at a rival’s ads, website traffic or social accounts, and it isn’t a live alert service.

Monthly. Each rival is rechecked once a month on the same six measures, so the comparison stays fair. There’s no on-demand refresh or live alert, and the watchlist appears once there are two months of data to compare.

The businesses your customers actually weigh you against: the café on the same street, or the other plumber who keeps getting recommended in the local Facebook group. Pick them by their Google listing. If you’re not sure, start with whoever beats you on your rank map.

It shows where the gaps are, so effort goes where it counts. If a rival collects more new reviews each month, ask more of your customers. If they reply more often, switch on review replies. Tracking alone won’t move you up; acting on what it shows is what helps.
