NearIQ keeps a constant eye on the businesses competing with yours on Google Maps. When a competitor’s rating drops, they get a review surge, update their hours, or a new rival opens nearby, NearIQ catches it and sends you an alert — so you always know what’s happening in your market.

1

Add your business

Get alerted

NearIQ checks your competitors regularly. When something changes — a rating drop, review spike, new hours, or a website update — you receive an instant alert via email, SMS, Slack, or webhook.
