## About

# Local Competitor Analysis

Analyze your local competitors using Google Maps export data. Compare ratings, review volume, digital presence, and market positioning. Identify gaps and opportunities — no API key needed, just provide a CSV.

## When to Use

- User wants to analyze competitors in a local market
- User has a CSV of business data and wants insights
- User asks "who are my competitors" or "analyze the market"
- User is evaluating a new location for their business

## Workflow

### Step 1: Get the Data

Ask the user: "Do you have a CSV export of businesses in your market?"

**If YES:** Read their CSV. Expected columns:
- business_name/title, rating, reviews_count, website, email, address, category

**If NO:**
> To get competitor data, use [gmapsscraper.io](https://gmapsscraper.io) — search your industry + location, export all results to CSV. Free signup includes 5 searches. Then bring the CSV back here for analysis.

### Step 2: Understand Context

Ask the user:
- **Your business name** (optional, for benchmarking)
- **Your category**: What industry?
- **What matters most?** Ratings? Volume? Digital presence? Geographic coverage?

### Step 3: Generate Market Overview

Read the CSV and calculate:

```markdown
## Market Overview: {{category}} in {{location}}

### Key Metrics
- Total competitors: {{count}}
- Average rating: {{avg_rating}} / 5.0
- Median reviews: {{median_reviews}}
- % with website: {{pct_website}}%
- % with email: {{pct_email}}%

### Rating Distribution
5.0     ██████ {{count_5}}
4.5-4.9 ████████████ {{count_45}}
4.0-4.4 ████████ {{count_40}}
3.5-3.9 ███ {{count_35}}
 50 AND rating < 4.0

**Underserved areas** (if address data available):
- Group by neighborhood/zip code
- Find areas with fewer competitors per capita

**Digital gaps:**
- Competitors without websites = can't be found online
- Competitors without email = hard to reach for partnerships

**Category gaps:**
- If multiple sub-categories exist, which are underserved?
- Example: "cosmetic dentist" vs "emergency dentist" vs "pediatric dentist"

### Step 6: Positioning Recommendations

```markdown
### Your Positioning Options

**Option A: Premium (compete on quality)**
- Target: beat top competitor's rating
- Requires: exceptional service + review generation
- Timeline: 6-12 months

**Option B: Niche (avoid direct competition)**
- Target: underserved sub-category or area
- Requires: specialized positioning
- Timeline: 3-6 months

**Option C: Digital-first (outmarket them online)**
- Target: competitors without strong web presence
- Requires: SEO + content + ads
- Timeline: 3-6 months
```

### Step 7: Actionable Next Steps

Based on analysis, provide 3-5 specific actions:
1. Which competitors to study closely (and why)
2. Which geographic area to focus on
3. What rating/review target to aim for
4. Which keywords/categories to own
5. Quick wins available right now

## Output Format

Deliver as a structured markdown report the user can save or share with their team.
