- We show our working. Every finding names the source it came from and the date we observed it, so you can check it rather than take our word for it.
- One recommendation, not a catalogue. This check maps to one specific piece of work, decided in advance, so the finding chooses the recommendation.
- We say when nothing is wrong. If this check finds no meaningful problem, it recommends nothing at all.

Questions about the Local Competitor Market Map
How do I see who my local competitors are?
Enter your area and the kind of business into the free Local Market Map. It maps the businesses competing there using signals that can be measured reliably and shows your relative position.
Why do some local businesses appear in AI answers more often?
They usually publish more complete, consistent evidence: clear services and areas, answers to buyer questions, reviews, and independent mentions. The map points out one or two of the patterns behind the leaders.
What exactly does the Local Market Map look at?
We map the businesses competing across your geography using the signals that can be measured reliably. Specifically, it checks patterns in how businesses appear in ai answers, local presence and coverage, and 4 other things listed in full on this page. Your relative position in the market, plus one or two patterns that explain why the leaders are where they are.
Can I run this right now?
Yes. It is free, it needs no account and no payment, and it usually takes under a minute. You get the real result for your own business, not a sample.
Why does this matter to my revenue?
A snapshot shows you where you stand. It does not explain why, and the why is what tells you where to spend the next dollar.
What happens if I ask you to handle it?
We deliver Regional Competitor AI Landscape Report as 4 separate steps over 21 days, and every step appears in your portal with its own due date so you can watch it happen without chasing anyone. You receive 4 named deliverables at the end. Nothing is billed until you have seen the full scope and approved the price.
What do you need from me?
Only what we cannot find ourselves: the towns and cities you want covered. We gather everything else from what is already published about your business.
Why can I not see the price on this page?
Because a number on its own tells you very little. Create your free account and the price appears in your portal, sitting beside the full scope, the steps, the deliverables, and the delivery date, with an approval step before anything is billed. There is no card and no charge to create the account.
Will this guarantee that AI recommends my business?
No, and you should be careful with anyone who says it will. Nobody controls what an AI engine says. What can be controlled is the accuracy, completeness, and consistency of the evidence those systems read about you, and that is the work we do. We reply within 24 hours, and our working day is Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm Pacific Time.
