MapGap · $9.99 one-time on Whop
Compare Google Business Profile categories with competitors
Paste your Google Business Profile categories and up to five competitors’ categories. MapGap lists the ones you don’t have, ranked by how many competitors use them, and flags competitors’ primary categories.
What you enter
- Your business: primary category, additional categories (comma or newline separated), total review count, and optionally reviews in the last 30 days.
- Up to five competitors you already see in local results, with the same fields. Names are optional; blank names show as Competitor 1, Competitor 2, and so on.
- You copy these from each Google Business Profile yourself. MapGap doesn't look anything up.
How the comparison works
- Each business's primary and additional categories are combined into one list. Duplicates are removed without regard to capitalization.
- Any competitor category that isn't on your list counts as missing.
- Missing categories are ranked by how many competitors use them, then by whether a competitor uses it as its primary category, then A–Z.
- Each row shows which competitors list it and is tagged when it's a competitor's primary category.
Matching is exact
Categories match on the text you paste, ignoring case. "Plumber" and "plumber" match, but "Plumber" and "Plumbing service" are counted as different categories. Paste category names exactly as they appear on the profiles so the comparison lines up.
What the free preview shows
- How many categories you're missing, how many of those 2+ competitors use, and how many are a competitor's primary category.
- The top 2 missing categories in full. The rest show only their competitor count and primary tag until you buy.
- The review-velocity target and the five reply templates.
- If nothing is missing, the app says there's nothing to unlock, so you don't need to buy.
Buying ($9.99 one-time on Whop) unlocks the full ranked list and the CSV download. Already bought? Sign in with Whop in the app.
Hard limits
- Paste-in only. No Google Maps or Places data pull or APIs.
- No automatic listing edits. Adding a category to your profile is up to you.
- No ranking or map-pack claims. A category being common among competitors doesn't mean it fits your business.
- Inputs stay in your browser for the session and aren't written to a MapGap database.
