Competitor gap questions
What should I compare against my competitors first?
Start with speed-to-lead, review velocity, Google Business Profile freshness, mobile conversion, and service-area pages. Those gaps usually create faster wins than broad branding work.
Is this a full SEO audit?
No. This is a competitive gap screen. It identifies the highest-impact weaknesses to investigate before doing a deeper local SEO, ads, and conversion audit.
Why does response speed matter in competitor analysis?
Local service buyers often contact multiple companies. If your competitor replies in one minute and you reply tomorrow, better rankings alone will not save the lead.
