GBP Competitor Teardown + Maps Spam Hunter

$2 per teardown. Optional spam evidence packs: $5 each (off by default, capped by maxSpamPacks).

One run tears down the whole Google Maps pack for a keyword and city, shows your client exactly why the top 3 win, and builds the evidence pack to report spam listings.

What does GBP Competitor Teardown + Maps Spam Hunter do?

Map Pack teardown: categories, review velocity and revenue estimate, photos, posts, attributes, city pages, citations, Ads Transparency, gap report vs the top 3, and spam evidence packs.

Who is it for?

Local SEO agencies, GBP managers, and AI/marketing agencies selling to home-service and local businesses.

How it works

1. Pulls every listing in the Maps pack for your keyword and city, with recent reviews.
2. Reads primary and secondary categories, rating, review velocity (30 and 90 days), owner response rate, photos, posts, attributes and hours.
3. Estimates monthly jobs and revenue from review velocity (reviews x 10 jobs per review x average ticket).
4. Counts city and service-area pages from each website's sitemap, and adds one-click links for citation checks by phone, Google Ads Transparency and the state business registry.
5. Compares your client to the top 3 and writes the gap report and a numbered action plan (white-label HTML ready to print to PDF).
6. Flags spam: keyword-stuffed names, virtual offices and coworking addresses, lead-gen sites, review bursts, and listings sharing a phone, site or building, then writes the 'Suggest an edit' / Redressal complaint for each.

How much does it cost?

Event	Price	What you get
Map Pack teardown	$2.00	One full teardown report for a keyword + city (up to 20 listings), with gap report and action plan.
Spam evidence pack	$5.00	One spam listing with evidence and ready-to-file complaint text. Only when includeSpamPacks is on.

The Google Maps scrape runs on your Apify account (about $0.10 for 10 listings with 25 reviews each). Every sub-run gets a hard spend cap (maxUpstreamSpendUsd), and you can set a maximum charge per run in the Console.

Why this instead of a plain scraper?

GMB Everywhere ($30/mo, 300K users) audits one listing at a time inside Chrome. acebuilds/gbp-auditor and gbp-completeness-audit score a single profile. None compare the whole pack, estimate revenue from review velocity, count city pages, or build spam evidence packs.
