​
1. Create your account

Go to app.neariq.io/signup. You can sign up with:
  • Google — one-click, no password needed
  • Apple — sign in with Apple ID
  • Email + password — standard sign-up flow
During early access, new accounts require waitlist approval. You’ll receive an email within 24 hours.

​
2. Start your free trial

Every new account gets a 7-day free trial with full Growth plan features — no credit card required. The trial gives you access to:
  • 5×5 rank tracker grid
  • Up to 20 competitors
  • Real-time alerts
  • AI agents (3 concurrent)
  • Email digest
After the trial, you choose a plan or continue on the free tier with limited access. This is the most important setup step. NearIQ needs to know which Google Maps listing is yours so it can track your rank, monitor your reviews, and calculate your GBP health score.
  1. Go to My Business tab in the dashboard
  2. Click Link my listing
  3. Search for your business name
  4. Select your listing from the results
NearIQ stores your Google Place ID — this is used for exact matching in rank checks and review monitoring.

​
4. Add your first competitors

Go to the Competitors tab and click Add competitor. You can:
  • Search by name — type a competitor’s business name and select from results
  • Search by address — find businesses near a specific location
  • Auto-suggest — NearIQ will suggest businesses in your category within a configurable radius
Add at least 3–5 competitors to start seeing meaningful comparisons in the Market Intelligence view.

​
5. Set up alerts

Go to Alerts → Settings and configure:
  • Alert types — which changes you want to be notified about (rating drops, review surges, GBP changes)
  • Minimum severity — filter out low-signal noise (info / warning / danger)
  • Delivery — email digest (daily/weekly), real-time email, or webhook
