Google Maps Competitor Finder Bot

Every local market has more players in it than a quick search usually reveals — some hiding under a different category tag, some just outside the area you happened to check. NearbyRival Bot picks up a business type and a spot on the map, then fans out to locate every operator nearby matching that description. It hands back who's out there, how well they're rated, how many reviews they've racked up, and exactly how close each one sits — a straight look at the competitive field instead of a partial picture.
