ONE BUSINESS · THREE CLEAR LENSES
A single rank hides the shape of the opportunity.
Northstar Coffee appears at number 2 at one checked point. Radar widens the view: where positions weaken, which sampled answers mention it, and whether those answers cite its website.

Google already offers nearby discovery, AI recommendations and Business Profile performance and insights. Radar's planned value is a consolidated, repeatable research workflow for your business—not privileged access to Google's ranking algorithm.
| Your task | An ordinary nearby search | Radar's planned workflow |
|---|---|---|
| Find a place | Lists, pins, business details and recommendations | Start with discovery, then inspect a selected business |
| Compare locations and services | Repeat searches and inspect each context | One defined set of points, phrases and competitors |
| Understand AI presence | Google's own AI experiences | Supported AI research methods, exact prompts and sources |
| Track and improve | Consumer discovery and separate profile insights | Compatible snapshots, explainable alerts, evidence and reports |
This comparison concerns the ordinary nearby-search journey, not every Google product or every SEO platform. Radar is not affiliated with Google.

Plain answers, with the technical detail one click away.
These explanations describe the approved design and planned integration. All interactive examples remain fictional.
How do location checks and spatial indexing work?
Radar will collect observations at selected coordinates and group them into H3 Resolution-8 geographic cells. Each point keeps its phrase, market, method, date and valid/failed/not-measured status. The preview map is an illustration, not a live Google Map.
H3 is geographic indexing, not semantic vector retrieval. No embedding engine or vector database is claimed. Unmeasured cells are never filled with predicted rankings, customer traffic or revenue.
Inspect location records →What does Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) measure?
GEO asks whether your business appears in the AI answers that were checked and which sources support those answers. Mention rate = answers mentioning the business ÷ valid answers. Citation rate = answers citing its domain ÷ valid answers. Share of voice = its mentions ÷ all mentions in the named tracked set, at most once per business per answer.
Failed answers are excluded and reported. API research is not automatically equivalent to a consumer AI app. Prompts, engine/model, method, supported geographic context and dates must remain visible. These checks cannot guarantee future inclusion.
Inspect AI coverage and denominators →What do automated research and verification actually do?
The planned system validates scope and allowance, checks a compatible permitted cache, queues bounded requests to supported provider endpoints, normalizes returned businesses and attaches sources and collection status. Existing Laravel jobs dispatch report snapshots to the existing Python report workers.
This is not an unrestricted crawler or an agent roaming the web. Verification checks response structure, business identity and context; it does not independently prove every upstream claim. Failures stay visible, costs stay bounded and a report may be ready while research is partial.
See the sample activity trail →Can Radar prove why a competitor ranks ahead?
No. It can show an observed difference in a defined sample. A missing citation does not prove a particular website omission caused it. Suggested edits are testable hypotheses, not ranking or revenue guarantees.
What makes a history comparison valid?
Coordinates, phrase, engine/model, market, language, device, grid settings, prompt/measurement version and competitor set must match. Otherwise Radar labels the results Not directly comparable. Monitoring, alerts and notification controls here are simulated.
What is saved, and how can I stop monitoring?
The planned private workspace retains only permitted data for each source's allowed period. Cache reuse requires matching measurement dimensions and tenant scope. Email verification is separate from ownership, and optional marketing consent is separate from access. Customers will be able to pause or cancel a monitor without deleting existing permitted reports; no real schedule or email is active in this preview.
