Choose comparable businesses

Category and market should be close enough that review and rating comparisons are meaningful.

Guide section 02

Compare multiple signals

Review volume, rating, category and profile accuracy provide more context together than any one metric.

Guide section 03

Avoid false precision

Do not present an exact local ranking unless it was measured for a defined query, location and time.

Guide section 04

Use gaps as questions

A review gap can become a discovery question rather than an accusation about the prospect’s marketing.

Guide principle

Keep evidence, ownership and the next action connected.

The strongest workflow is the one that lets the team understand why a lead matters, what happened, and what should happen next.
