## Changelog

Notable changes to this Actor, newest first. Dates are build dates (UTC).

### 0.1.9 (2026-11-04)

- Rank change since the previous run at every point (previousRank, rankChange, changeStatus) and in the summary row, kept in a named key-value store. Free.
- Per point: the business ranked just above yours (competitorAbove) and a one-sentence explanation (rankExplanation); quick-win points at rank 4 to 6.
- Colour HTML heatmap saved as the HEATMAP record and linked from the summary row and the status message.
- Free status rows for points that could not be checked; dataQuality and warnings on every row.
- recordType field, a first Overview view, labels and formats on every column, and output links for every view, CSV and the heatmap.
- The final charge check takes under 1 second instead of about 7: it reads the platform counter only when needed.

### 0.1.5 (2026-11-02)

- Fixed a false "charge reconciliation mismatch" warning in RUN_SUMMARY: the final check now waits for the platform charge counter to catch up. Charges themselves were always correct.

### 0.1 (2026-11-02)

- First version: 3x3 to 9x9 grids in km or miles, business lookup by name, place ID or Maps URL, centre by coordinates or address, top 3 competitors per point, optional full list of businesses, summary row with average rank, share of local voice, top competitors and text heatmap.
