Competitor analysis for restaurants
Your customers decide where to eat by comparing: they open Google Maps, look at ratings, read two reviews and choose. If the restaurant across the street raises its rating or cuts its lunch menu, you notice it in the till weeks later — when it's already too late.
Localwiz watches the restaurants in your area every day and alerts you to what changes: reviews, prices, Maps position, and whether ChatGPT or Perplexity recommend them when someone asks where to eat nearby.
You don't know why the place next door is full
Same neighbourhood, similar menu, and their terrace is packed. The answer is almost always in public data: a better recent rating, more new reviews, a better Maps position at lunchtime.
The lunch menu is a war fought blind
If three of your competitors drop their set menu to €12.50 and you're still at €14, you want to know the same day — not when a customer tells you.
Your reviews fall behind without you seeing it
One bad week of service is three 2-star reviews. Your customers don't see your rating: they see the gap between you and the place across the street.
AI already recommends restaurants — does it name yours?
More and more people ask ChatGPT where to eat nearby. If you don't appear in those answers, there's a list and you're not on it.
