What to do next

Once you have your baseline data (takes about 24 hours for the first full snapshot), look for:
  • Rank gaps — grid cells where competitors outrank you, especially in high-traffic areas
  • Rating momentum — competitors whose ratings are trending up fast (potential threat) or down (opportunity)
  • Review velocity — competitors getting a sudden surge of reviews may be running a campaign worth watching
  • GBP changes — new photos, updated hours, or description changes often signal a marketing push
