To help you understand how you compare in local search results, Localworks Premium has a Competitive Intelligence feature. When potential customers choose a business from a local search, the two most influential aspects are:

• The position on the page relative to your competitors.
• The rating of the businesses relative to your competitors.

With Competitive Intelligence, you will be able to understand how your business ranks against your competitors in local search and average Google and Facebook review ratings. It will also allow you to understand how you compare now and how this will change over time. Once set up, you should start seeing results within a few days.

Before you get started, you will need two required bits of information.

• Competitor's name
• Competitor's website

You can add up to 5 competitors.
