Small Biz Prompts

Compare my business with local competitors

Organize what you know about your competitors into a side-by-side comparison and find the gaps you can realistically own.

The prompt

Help me analyze my competition. I run [BUSINESS NAME], a [TYPE OF BUSINESS] in [AREA].

For me and each competitor I have gathered from their websites and reviews:
[FOR EACH: name, services, prices if listed, review rating and count, common praise, common complaints, how they describe themselves]

Please:
1. Build a comparison table across price, services, reputation, speed/convenience and positioning.
2. Summarize what customers complain about most across competitors; these are opportunities.
3. Identify two or three positions I could credibly own, based only on facts I have given you.
4. Suggest three concrete changes (offer, website, process) to make that position obvious.
Only use the information I provided; tell me where it is too thin to draw a conclusion.

Replace every [BRACKETED] part with your own details before sending.

How to use it

Spend 30 minutes collecting each competitor's website copy and their most recent 1 to 3 star reviews first. The complaints are usually more useful than the praise.
