How ReviewTrackers’ Competitor Tools Reveal the Competitive Landscape
With streamlined competitor identification and rich insights you can build strategies that contribute to growth and success. Using ReviewTrackers’ Competitor tools to its full potential can be the key to winning over customers and staying ahead of the competition.
Seamlessly Identify Rival Brands
Automatically identifying your competitors and tracking their performance is the first step to standing out in a crowded market. Doing so gives your brand the ability to build competitive strategies to differentiate in local and regional markets, delight customers, and drive loyalty.
With ReviewTrackers Competitor Brands tool, multi-location businesses can easily identify, import and monitor rival brands related to each location, which saves hours of time and provides a holistic view of the competitive landscape in each market.
Understand and Analyze the Current Competitive Landscape
Visualizing the competitive landscape provides a clear view of performance comparisons and allows brands to build tangible strategies related to requesting, responding, and amplifying reviews as well as improving their online rank and the overall customer experience.
Use ReviewTrackers to identify which rival brands are market leaders, strong performers, and contenders based on metrics such as, average rating and amount of reviews. You can then employ strategies to stand out such as asking for reviews, learning how to respond to negative reviews, and using the Amplify tool to show off your best feedback for social proof.
By understanding the effects of the strategies put in place you enable brand stakeholders to understand which locations may need more attention, or which require alternative strategies focused on market differentiators.
Build Strategies Tailored to Each Market
For a more focused strategy, you can also group competitor data by region or other identifying parameters to get the nuance you need to build a local and regional marketing strategy.
Why does that matter? A pizza chain with locations across the country faces a different level of competition (with different consumer expectations) in New York than it does in Chicago.
By honing in on specific markets, your brand can identify why a market may be struggling based on insights from reviews, and implement meaningful operational strategies to improve customer experiences that increase competitive ranking and ultimately drive growth.
Track Progress and Growth
With executive level reporting you can easily display growth over time and share which tactics and strategies led to growth and success.
Detailed reporting also helps with tracking brand reputation changes on a monthly (or even daily) basis. These insights can also help uncover pain points, which can lead to meaningful changes. You can then use Landscape charts to help visualize those new strategies for both overall brand and specific location growth.
Categorize and Analyze Keywords and Trends within Competitor Reviews
Competitor Experience takes the same categories available in Experience Analysis and categorizes your competitors’ review data in industry-specific categories, which delivers insights into areas where rivals excel and need improvement.
Competitor Experience also delivers comparisons in popular keyword mentions between your brand and each competitor.
These insights power brands to build actionable strategies that improve operations in key areas. Over time, this can attract more business from the competition.

Adding tools to your brand’s toolbox can give you a strategic market advantage when it comes to understanding the competitive landscape on a brand and location level. It opens doors to build local strategies tailored to each market and allows for tracked progress and growth.
