How can you explore and understand your competitive analysis?

Use these practical tips to understand your Competitive Intelligence results.

Written by Beatriz Sierra Sánchez

Competitive Intelligence analysis

The Competitive Intelligence analysis is available in Partoo under Statistics → Competition, across two pages:

  • Competitor reviews

  • Competitor review analysis

👉 These two views help you explore your competitors’ performance from both a quantitative and qualitative perspective.


“Competitor reviews” page

1. Filter your analysis

On the statistics page, several filters help you refine your analysis:

  • Analysis level: global (organisation/group) or local (business)

  • Analysis period: analyses are carried out quarterly

  • Competitors: select one or more competitors (all selected by default)

  • Tags: select a business theme (one tag at a time)

👉 All indicators automatically adapt based on the filters selected.


2. Understand overall market performance

The main indicators allow you to compare your performance with the market:

  • average rating

  • average review volume

  • average response rate

👉 These KPIs are calculated based on the average of all selected competitors.


3. Compare performance in detail

A comparison table helps you understand where you stand against your competitors across several indicators:

  • Average rating: shows the competitor’s average rating over the selected period. It is calculated by averaging the ratings across all their businesses.

  • Average number of reviews: the competitor’s average number of reviews per POI over the period. This is calculated by dividing the total number of reviews received by the number of businesses.

  • Response rate: shows the competitor’s average response rate over the selected period. It is calculated by averaging the response rates across all their businesses.

  • SEO ranking: shows the competitor’s SEO ranking for a selected keyword.

  • Share of positive reviews: shows the percentage of reviews with 4 or 5 stars out of all reviews received. It is calculated by dividing the number of 4- and 5-star reviews by the total number of reviews received.

👉 The table highlights:

  • your performance (in blue)

  • the market average (in yellow)

  • each competitor’s performance

Charts also allow you to track how these indicators evolve over time.


Focus: rating distribution

A dedicated tab lets you view the distribution of ratings:

  • by competitor or across all competitors

  • as a percentage or in volume

👉 This helps you compare the review structure between different players in the market.


Focus: SEO ranking

A “Position” tab lets you track how your Google ranking evolves for a given keyword. A keyword filter is available when several keywords have been defined in the settings.

Local results are aggregated and compared with the list of competitors you have selected to give you a national view.

👉 You can compare your progress with your competitors’ performance over time.


4. Identify market strengths and weaknesses

The analysis highlights the main trends from customer reviews:

  • Top 3 strengths: the most positive themes in the market

  • Top 3 weaknesses: the most negative themes

👉 These insights are based on the selected tags and help you understand market dynamics.


5. Analyse each competitor in detail

A dedicated view lets you explore the strengths and weaknesses of each player:

  • top 3 strengths by competitor

  • top 3 weaknesses by competitor

  • direct access to the detailed semantic analysis

👉 This allows you to quickly compare your position with each competitor.


“Competitor review analysis” page

Each competitor has a qualitative analysis based on:

  • themes

  • sub-themes

  • customer quotes

👉 This helps you understand the customer perception behind the numbers in detail.

A side menu lets you navigate between competitors. If a competitor does not have enough data over the selected period, they will appear disabled.


Sharing results

You can export or share your analyses:

  • copy or screenshot insights from the statistics page

  • copy or screenshot qualitative analyses for your internal reports

👉 For now, automatic email or PDF sending is not available.


Conclusion

This analysis allows you to combine:

  • a quantitative view (e-reputation + SEO KPIs)

  • a qualitative view (semantic review analysis)

  • a global and local view of your market

👉 This gives you a complete understanding of your competitive positioning and the actions you can take.
