❓ FAQ

Local competitor gap tool questions answered

What types of gaps does this tool find?+

We identify 7 categories of gaps: keyword gaps (terms your competitors rank for that you don't), review gaps (low review counts or poor ratings), GMB category gaps (missing categories), service area gaps (neighborhoods they ignore), photo gaps (low-quality visuals), response time gaps, and attribute gaps.

How do I know which gaps to prioritize?

Each gap receives an "Exploit Score" from 1-100 based on potential impact and ease of execution. Focus on 80+ scores first — these are quick wins that deliver fast results.

Can I compare gaps across multiple competitors?

Yes, our dashboard shows side-by-side comparisons of up to 20 competitors, making it easy to spot patterns and prioritize which rivals to target first.

How often is gap data updated?

We refresh competitor data monthly. You can run on-demand scans anytime to catch new gaps as soon as they appear.

Is there a free version?

Yes, free tier includes 3 competitor gap analyses per month, covering up to 15 competitors per scan. Pro unlocks unlimited analyses and all 7 gap types.

What's the difference between gaps and opportunities?

Gaps are specific weaknesses in competitor strategies (missing keywords, poor reviews). Opportunities are the actions you take to exploit those gaps. Our tool gives you both — the gaps AND the plan to exploit them.

Can I export gap reports for clients?

Absolutely. Generate white-label PDF reports showing competitor gaps, exploit priorities, and recommended actions — perfect for client proposals and reviews.

How quickly can I see results from closing gaps?

Quick wins like adding missing GMB categories often show ranking improvements within 2-3 weeks. Larger gaps like review volume may take 2-3 months but deliver substantial long-term gains.
