Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Competitor Review Gap Checker show?

It compares your business with nearby competitors on key review metrics: overall rating, total review count, recent review activity, and rating distribution. You get clear observations about where you stand.

Is this tool free?

Yes. Search for your business and we'll pull competitor data from the Google Places API. No account or credit card required.

How are competitors selected?

We find businesses of the same type within a 5km radius of your location using the Google Places API. This gives you the most relevant local competitors.

Does this guarantee I'll rank higher if I close the gap?

No. We provide observations, not guarantees. A competitor having 340 more reviews and more recent activity is a factual gap — closing it improves your competitive position, but ranking depends on many factors.

How is this different from the Geo-Grid tool?

The Geo-Grid answers 'where do I rank?' by checking your position at geographic points. This tool answers 'why might competitors appear stronger?' by comparing review signals that influence local search visibility.

Can I monitor these gaps over time?

Connect your location to ReviewPanel to track review and ranking gaps continuously. Paid plans include automated syncs, competitor tracking, and alerts when your metrics change.
