TL;DR: I’ve built a free tool that quickly compares Google reviews of a business and its competitor. I’m looking for feedback from a few of you to refine it—no sales pitch, just genuine testing. Message me if you’re interested!
Some context: Over the past year, my wife and I have been searching for a business to buy. A lot of the businesses we’ve evaluated rely heavily on public review sites like Google Reviews, Yelp, or TripAdvisor. We’ve used these reviews to identify opportunities for improvement, analyze competitors, and explore potential positioning strategies. I imagine many of you have done something similar in your own searches.
As a former product manager, I decided to create a tool that compares reviews for two businesses, helping uncover strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement. I’d love for a few of you to test it out and share your thoughts. The tool is free to use, but I'd like a 15-minute Zoom call after you’ve tried it to gather your feedback.
If this sounds interesting, send me a message, and let’s get started!
