| Ratesorant | Reading reviews yourself | |
|---|---|---|
| Time each week | About a minute to read your move | Hours to read properly |
| Competitor reviews | All of them, compared | Rarely read |
| Spotting patterns | Counted across every review | Depends on memory |
| Checking a change worked | Measured from new reviews | Guesswork |
| Cost | From $149 a month | Free, apart from your time |
What you can do yourself
Reading your latest Google reviews tells you how last weekend went. It costs nothing and keeps you close to your diners.
Where it gets hard
- Patterns hide across hundreds of reviews and months of time.
- You almost never read your competitors' reviews, which is where the opening usually is.
- One angry review feels bigger than twenty quiet ones.
- You cannot easily tell whether the change you made last month worked.
What Ratesorant adds
Ratesorant reads every review, yours and your competitors', counts what diners say about 35 aspects, and only surfaces a finding when enough diners agree. It sends the quotes, so you still read diners' words, just the ones that matter.
