What we track on Google Maps
Google Maps is where most local customers decide who to call: the star rating, the reviews, the opening hours, all of it sits there side by side. DentAlert watches the Maps profiles of the rivals you picked every week, so you can see exactly where you stand against them on the thing customers look at first.
New reviews coming in
How many reviews a rival pulls in week to week says a lot about their momentum. We track the new reviews landing on each competitor's Maps profile, so a sudden run of them does not catch you off guard.
Rating movement
A rival's star rating climbing or slipping shifts who customers trust at a glance. We track which way each competitor's rating is drifting week to week, so you see the trend, not just today's number.
Standout reviews
Some reviews matter more than the average. We flag the notable ones, including any that land at two stars or below, so you see when a competitor is on a strong run or taking a public hit while there is still time to learn from it.
Opening hours
When a rival changes its hours, adds weekend opening, or extends late nights, it can decide who gets the customer at the moment they are looking. We flag changes to opening hours on the Maps profile as they happen.
Contact and address
A new phone number, a moved address, a changed website link: small profile details that quietly affect how customers reach a competitor. We flag updates to their contact and location details as they appear on Maps.
Business status
A competitor showing as temporarily closed, permanently closed, or relocated is a real shift in your local landscape. We flag changes to a rival's business status on Maps, so a closure or a move never passes you by.
Three steps to your first report.
Find your business.
Enter your postcode and business name, and we pull your profile straight from Google Maps. It takes a few seconds, with no long forms and no account to set up first. Whether you run a restaurant, a salon, a trade, or a shop, if local customers can find you, we can find you too.
Choose who to watch.
We show you the other businesses nearby in your category, and you pick the ones you actually compete with. There is no algorithm guessing on your behalf. You know your street better than any tool does, so you start with a few names and adjust the list whenever you like as your competition changes.
Get your weekly email.
Your first 30 days are free, so you see the value before you pay anything. Every week a short email lands with every move your competitors made, across their Google profile, website, social, and reviews. It takes a minute to read, with the full report attached whenever you want more detail.
