Competitor density around each site

What it does

Every month: for each site in your list, the competitors and the people within 1 km, people per competitor worked out, scored by xMap AI, ranked and saved to a sheet.

In one sentence: Monthly on the 1st at 08:00, take your table, count the restaurants, coffee shops and fast food restaurants within 1 km of each, count who lives around, work out new fields, score and rank them with xMap AI, sort them by fit score and keep the top 50, then add row in Google Sheets and email the list to you.

Why it is useful

Competition only matters relative to demand. People per competitor gives one comparable number per site.

The time it saves

Monthly on the 1st at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 240 minutes each time; it runs about 1 time a month, so it saves about 4 hours a month (an estimate). It is medium: 9 blocks.
