Built for owner-operators

Spas, salons, restaurants, cafés, fitness studios — and any business whose block decides how the month goes. If what happens within a mile of your door shows up in your revenue, this was built for you.

How it works

You run the business. We watch the block.

A new competitor opens two streets away. The gym that brings customers to your block shuts down. Two rivals start pulling ahead on reviews.

These changes can matter to your business. But keeping track of them means searching, checking, comparing, and remembering to do it all again next month.

You have a business to run. NearbyIQ does the monitoring for you.

What you get

Market insights on the 1st. Alerts when they can't wait.

NearbyIQ turns local market monitoring into three simple ways to stay informed. Read the summary, explore the detail, and get notified when something important changes.

01

Your monthly market briefing

The important changes, in plain English.

An AI-generated email summarizing competition, market composition, block health, and reputation. Get the key findings without having to log in or sift through raw data.

Designed to take about three minutes to read.

02

Your live dashboard

See what's changed. Keep track of what came before.

Explore the underlying market data, review your local and wider-market boundaries, and revisit previous monthly reports to see how your neighborhood evolves.

Screenshot of the NearbyIQ dashboard: the month being viewed with a selector for earlier months, the scope line giving the business, its area, its density tier and both radii, three headline tiles, and a composition table counting each business type at the neighborhood and at the wider market.
03

Alerts between reports

Don't wait until the 1st to hear important news.

When a tracked event occurs — such as a nearby competitor opening or an anchor business closing — NearbyIQ can alert you between monthly briefings.

Most months are quiet. That makes an alert worth paying attention to.

Screenshot of a NearbyIQ alert email: a labelled kind, a one-line headline naming what happened and how far away, a short paragraph with the counts before and after, and a footer giving the date of the next monthly report.

Who it's for

Local market research for owner-operators.

If your business depends on what happens within a few streets of your front door, NearbyIQ was built for you.

If you've wondered

"Is someone new taking my customers?"

You see who opened inside your mile and across your wider market, whether they compete head-on or sideways, and how the count moved since last month.

If you've wondered

"Is my block getting busier or emptier?"

Openings, closures and reopenings, counted as events. When the anchor that brings foot traffic past your door arrives — or leaves — you know the month it happens.

If you've wondered

"Am I still the one people pick?"

Your rating, your review volume against your own average, and where you stand among the rivals you chose to watch. Position, not vanity numbers.

The owner-operator

You run the place yourself. Spas, salons, barbers, restaurants, cafés, butcher shops — the category matters less than the shape of the job: nobody else is watching your market, and you want it digested rather than dumped. With NearbyIQ you get all the updates you need in a 3-minute read, every month.

Pricing

One flat price per location.

Start with an instant report on your market, then receive your first monthly briefing on the 1st. Review both before your first subscription charge.

Evaluating a second location? Know the market before you commit.

Get a focused competitive assessment of an address you're considering, including:

  • The competitive landscape
  • Competitor density and potential gaps
  • How the block compares with markets of similar density
  • Delivery within three business days

Each address is assessed as its own market, with its own report.

A second location costs the same again, and the insights stay separate. Two blocks are two markets, and averaging them would tell you nothing about either.
