As a business owner, would you like to have legal, ethical ways to get info about your competitors? For example, would it be helpful for you to see how much website traffic they are driving to their sites, as well as their Google My Business listings? Do you believe this information would open the door for you to increase your own Google ranking and give you an advantage over your competition?

If you knew the tactics that make your competitors successful, it’s certain you could use that information for your own business purposes, only use it better and in a more effective way then they do, which could result in you attracting more new customers then they are, and keeping your existing clients coming back to you again, and again.
