Recent competitor review performance

How do you compare with competitors now?

All-time ratings and review counts tell you about a business's history, but they can hide what is happening now. Compare the last 2 and 6 months to see which competitors are earning higher ratings, receiving reviews faster, and responding more consistently. Use those recent differences to decide where to focus your review strategy.

Frequently asked questions

Competitor review analysis FAQ

What software can I use to analyze competitors’ reviews?

RightResponse AI’s Competitor Review Analysis compares your business with competitors using recent average ratings, review velocity, and response rates. It also lets you read the reviews behind those metrics and use Competitor Voice of Customer to analyze what their customers praise and criticize through your own Topics.

How can I compare competitors’ recent ratings instead of all-time averages?

RightResponse AI’s Competitor Review Analysis compares ratings from reviews received during the last 2 and 6 months. These recent-period averages show how customers are rating each business now, so a strong lifetime rating does not hide weaker recent feedback or a competitor’s improvement.

Which competitors are getting reviews faster than my business?

RightResponse AI’s Competitor Review Analysis compares average monthly review volume for your business and selected competitors over the last 2 and 6 months. This review velocity comparison shows who is receiving new reviews faster and helps you decide whether to increase your own review-request activity.

Can I analyze competitors’ customer experience using my own Topics?

RightResponse AI’s Competitor Voice of Customer applies the Topics you already track for your business to competitors’ reviews. It measures sentiment and how often those Topics appear, so you can understand their customers’ experience through the same subjects you use to evaluate your own business.

What are customers praising competitors for that they criticize my business for?

RightResponse AI’s Competitor Voice of Customer compares customer feedback side by side using the same Topics for both businesses. Compare sentiment and topic frequency to find subjects where competitors receive more praise or fewer complaints, then open the supporting reviews to understand the difference.

Can I read the competitor reviews behind the scores and sentiment analysis?

RightResponse AI connects competitor metrics and sentiment findings to the underlying reviews. Click a performance number to read the reviews used in that calculation, or open the phrases and full reviews supporting a Topic finding. You can inspect the customer feedback behind both the numbers and the analysis.

How can competitor review analysis help me decide what to improve?

RightResponse AI’s Competitor Review Analysis helps separate review-marketing gaps from customer-experience gaps. Compare review velocity and response rates to assess review activity, then use topic-level sentiment and supporting reviews to identify experiences competitors deliver better. These comparisons help prioritize review requests, response coverage, and operational improvements.

Which RightResponse AI plan includes competitor review analysis and sentiment analysis?

RightResponse AI’s Pro plan includes competitor performance analysis within its allowance of 10 combined map rank scans or competitor analyses per month. Pro+ increases that allowance to 25 and adds Competitor Voice of Customer. Choose Pro+ when you need competitor sentiment and topic comparisons as well as review-performance benchmarking.
