Workflow
Step 1: Get Review Data
Ask the user: "Do you have a CSV with business data (including ratings and review counts)?"
If YES: Read their CSV. Key columns needed:
- business_name/title, rating, reviews_count, category, address
- Bonus: individual review text (if available)
If NO:

Step 2: Understand the Goal
Ask the user:
- Your business (optional): Which one is yours for benchmarking?
- Analysis type: Overall market? Specific competitor deep-dive? Your own reputation?
- Action goal: Improve reviews? Find weak competitors? Content ideas?
Step 3: Rating & Review Analysis
## Review Landscape: {{category}} in {{location}}
### Market Benchmarks
- Average rating: {{avg}} / 5.0
- Median review count: {{median}}
- Top performer: {{top_name}} ({{top_rating}}⭐, {{top_reviews}} reviews)
- Your position: #{{rank}} of {{total}}
### Rating Tiers
| Tier | Count | % | Interpretation |
|------|-------|---|----------------|
| Elite (4.8+) | {{n}} | {{pct}}% | Market leaders |
| Strong (4.5-4.7) | {{n}} | {{pct}}% | Solid reputation |
| Average (4.0-4.4) | {{n}} | {{pct}}% | Room to improve |
| Weak (< 4.0) | {{n}} | {{pct}}% | Vulnerable |
### Review Volume Tiers
| Tier | Count | Interpretation |
|------|-------|----------------|
| 200+ reviews | {{n}} | Established, hard to displace |
| 50-199 reviews | {{n}} | Growing, competitive |
| 10-49 reviews | {{n}} | Early stage |
| < 10 reviews | {{n}} | New or inactive |
Step 4: Competitive Review Intelligence
Vulnerable competitors (your opportunity):
- High review count + low rating = unhappy customers seeking alternatives
- List: businesses with reviews > 30 AND rating < 4.0
Review velocity leaders (learn from them):
- Businesses with disproportionately high review counts
- What are they doing differently? (likely active review solicitation)
Rating-to-review ratio analysis:
- High rating + few reviews = good but unknown (easy to overtake in visibility)
- Low rating + many reviews = well-known but disliked (their customers are your prospects)
Step 5: Actionable Insights
### Recommendations
**To improve your rating:**
- Target: {{target_rating}} (would put you in top {{pct}}%)
- Gap: {{gap}} stars to close
- Strategy: Focus on [identified weak area]
**To grow review count:**
- Target: {{target_count}} (market median)
- Needed: {{needed}} new reviews
- At 5 reviews/month = {{months}} months to target
**Competitor weaknesses to exploit:**
1. {{competitor_1}} — {{weakness}}
2. {{competitor_2}} — {{weakness}}
3. {{competitor_3}} — {{weakness}}
**Content ideas from review themes:**
- Customers praise: {{top_positive_themes}}
- Customers complain about (at competitors): {{top_negative_themes}}
- → Create content/marketing around what customers value most
Step 6: Output
Deliver as structured markdown report with:
- Market overview dashboard
- Your competitive position
