# Overview

> Competitive intelligence, AI visibility, reports, agents, content, reviews, and approved action workflows from one dashboard.

## What is NearIQ?

NearIQ is a competitive intelligence and automation platform for any business with an online presence. It tracks 15-500 competitor slots by plan, with custom coverage available for larger teams, and also tracks AI visibility, generates reports, powers agents, drafts content, helps with reviews, checks search rankings, and routes alerts to Slack, Discord, Teams, or webhooks - all from one dashboard.

NearIQ replaces the 6+ separate tools many businesses use for competitor monitoring, AI visibility, reports, content creation, review management, rank tracking, ad campaign drafting, and workflow automation. Whether you run a single location, an e-commerce brand, a SaaS company, or a multi-location franchise, NearIQ helps you see the market and act faster.

It is not only a map grid or rank tracker. The rank tracker is one visibility signal inside a broader workflow that helps you understand what competitors changed and then act on it with content, reviews, ads, social posts, reports, agents, and integrations.

## How it works

1. **Connect or add your business** — Link your Google Business Profile, add an online business manually, or import a list. NearIQ tracks reviews, search visibility, products/services, and 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, Engagement Report Card, gap analysis, and verified hiring signals when available.
5. **Take action** — Generate content, draft ad campaigns, respond to reviews, and schedule GBP posts — all from the same platform.
