What is NearIQ?

NearIQ is an all-in-one competitive intelligence and marketing automation platform for local businesses. It monitors competitors, generates marketing content, manages your Google Business Profile, checks your AI search visibility, and runs ad campaigns — all from one dashboard. If your business competes on Google Maps (restaurants, salons, law firms, gyms, clinics, home services — any local business), NearIQ replaces the 6 separate tools you’re paying for today.

What you can do with NearIQ

Monitor competitors

Track up to 500 competitors across multiple locations. Get alerted on rating changes, review surges, hours updates, ad activity, hiring signals, and pricing changes.

Generate content

AI Content Studio creates GBP posts, landing pages, blog outlines, FAQ sections, and review response templates — all based on your actual competitive landscape.

Check AI visibility

See if your business appears in major AI answer engines. A metric no other tool tracks.

Analyze competitive gaps

AI-powered gap analysis identifies your weaknesses, ranks them by severity, and generates prioritized actions so you know exactly what to fix first.

Track behavioral signals

Six engagement metrics graded A through F against competitor benchmarks: response rate, review velocity, photos, posting frequency, and recency.

Run ad campaigns

AI drafts ad campaigns from your competitive data — keywords, copy, budget, and targeting. Review and launch from your dashboard. Ad spend goes to Google, not NearIQ.

Voice chat

Ask your AI assistant questions by voice. Tap the mic, speak, and hear the answer read back. Useful when you’re busy running your business.

Track local rankings

Grid-based local rank tracker shows exactly where you rank on Google Maps for any keyword. Find the dead zones where competitors outrank you.

How it works

  1. Connect your Google Business Profile — NearIQ links to your listing to track your rank, reviews, and GBP performance alongside competitors.
  2. Add competitors — Search by name, bulk import via CSV, or let NearIQ suggest nearby rivals based on your category.
  3. Set your alerts — Choose which changes trigger notifications and how (email, Slack, Discord, Teams, or webhook).
  4. Get insights — The dashboard surfaces rating trends, review velocity, AI search visibility, behavioral signals, gap analysis, and hiring signals in one place.
  5. Take action — Generate content, draft ad campaigns, respond to reviews, and schedule GBP posts — all from the same platform.
