Understanding your Competitor Report

Your competitor report collates and aggregates publicly available online review data into useful reports that give you a clear understanding of how you are performing against your competitors. 

Your competitor report is separated into two sections; the Overview and Primary Service Ratings.

Overview 

This report shows the: 

• Number of Reviews 
• Review Rating 
• Sentiment scores 

Primary Service Ratings 

This section is based on the questions the reviews sites ask during the review process, this can vary between the different review sites. Tripadvisor, for example, allows guests to give scores for seven different metrics (including Room Quality and Value For Money), however these questions are optional, so many guests skip these.  

The rating asked for most frequently by review sites is Overall Satisfaction. In many cases this may be the only rating required, so this is almost always the most commonly answered question, and the graph with the most data. 

You may notice that some of your competitors are missing from some or perhaps even all of the graphs on your competitor report. This is because GuestRevu hasn’t found any data for that particular score for that competitor within the date range you have selected. 

If the competitor is missing entirely, it’s likely they didn’t have any reviews during the date range you have selected. If they are visible on some graphs but not others, this means no reviewers answered questions relating to that specific area.

You can filter by Review Sources to get a more detailed breakdown and benchmark your property from site to site. Click here to find out how.

Set Score Targets 

You can set each report to highlight properties that score below the target you set. To do this, click Set Score Target, enter the target you would like to set, and click Update. Any property (yours or a competitor) that doesn’t meet this target will be displayed in teal.

Highlighting specific competitors 

To help you to easily pick out a specific property on your report, you can choose to highlight them. Click Highlight then select the competitor you would like to highlight. The report will automatically update to show the selected competitor in orange.

Changing the sort order 

The default setting is to have scores displayed from Highest to Lowest, but this can be reversed to show Lowest to Highest. Simply click Sort, then select Sort from low to high.

Why do some of my competitors not show in some categories?

Your competitor report is based on ratings for various criteria on different online review sites, such as Tripadvisor’s “Value for money” or “Location” ratings. If one of your competitors has had no reviews left on a particular site that asks a specific question, or guests have chosen not to provide a score for that metric, there will be no data available to show on your report. 

For example: You have set your date range to view data for the last 7 days. Your property has ratings for all available online review sites, however, one of your competitors is not showing up on any Tripadvisor-specific questions. This simply means that none of their guests have left a review scoring the optional questions on Tripadvisor for the last 7 days, so GuestRevu doesn’t have any data to pull into your competitor report.
