Dashboard - Setting up your top 3 competitors

Selecting your main competitors is easy and fast!

For this you must think about those businesses that you admire based on their social media, their type of cuisine or general business expertise, or in their customer service to name but a few examples. Once you got the three main ones you can set them up. 

It is very important to consider competitors as the ones that give the 'same' service that you give and operate the same or similar type of business. This way you will be able to control what's new, what you can do better or keep doing better. The interesting thing that social media gives us is the transparency and the easy communication flow between our customers and our business. We know sometimes that these comments or reviews can be exaggerated, or unfair, but you must work on keeping customers happy online and offline.
