The problem it solves

Before opening a new location or entering a new market, you need to understand the competition, but reading through hundreds of reviews by hand takes days. Without that research, you risk opening in the wrong spot or missing what customers actually care about.

Who it fits

Business owners, investors, and consultants scouting a new market or location.

How it works

  1. You provide a search area and business type you want to research
  2. The automation pulls matching business listings and their customer reviews from Google Maps
  3. AI reads the reviews to find common complaints, praise, and pricing patterns
  4. AI compares competitors and identifies gaps in the market
  5. A full report with an executive summary and recommendations is emailed to you
What you get

Market gaps you spot before entering

You get a full market report on any area and business type, built from real local reviews.

What you get

A market research report emailed to you, covering competition, customer sentiment, and recommendations.

What you need

A Google Maps API key, a Google Gemini API key, and a Gmail account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
