What you learn
- Which signals put the top three ahead: reviews, photos, posts or rating.
- How far behind you are on each, in plain numbers.
- The one gap worth closing first.
What it can't tell you
- Google does not publish its ranking formula; these are signals it is known to use, not the whole recipe.
- Distance from the searcher matters, and no profile change moves your address.
- The top three change with the search and the place it is made from.
Questions
The businesses Google shows in the top three near you for a search you care about. They change by search and by place.
Closing a clear gap, such as far fewer reviews or no recent posts, often helps. Nothing guarantees a position.
The comparison reads your profile and the top three live from Google, so it runs on a free Reach account. Your business and search carry over when you sign up.
Yes. Add the search customers type, like “dentist near me”, and Reach compares you with the top three for it. Leave it blank and Reach starts with the searches it suggests for your business.
