Key findings
- Price range for a medium dog is £40–70, with most salons at £45–58.
- Only one mobile competitor, and it does not work weekends and replies to bookings slowly. Three of its 12 most recent reviews mention waiting for a reply.
- Instant online booking is standard for salons; phone-only booking is now the exception.
- Weekend capacity is thin: only 2 of 10 competitors take bookings on Sundays.
Opportunities for Tidy Paws
- Position as "the salon that comes to you, including Saturdays", priced at £58–62, near the mobile competitor but with instant booking.
- Target owners of anxious or older dogs: 9 reviews across competitors mention stress from waiting rooms.
Honest limits
- Prices are list prices; discounts and size surcharges may differ in practice.
- Review counts reflect public listings on the dates checked, not total customers.
- No data on revenue or market share is publicly available for these businesses.
Client: Tidy Paws, a mobile dog-grooming van planning to launch in Ashford Vale (pop. ~85,000). Standard package: 10 competitors, 8 criteria. Excerpt below shows 6 of them.

About this service
Literary agents and publishers expect comparable titles in a query or proposal, and self-published authors need them to choose categories, price and cover style. Tell us about your book, and we find recent books with a similar audience, genre and tone, then collect their publication year, publisher or self-published status, format prices, ratings and review counts and the store categories they sit in. You see where your book fits and which comps make a credible pitch.
What is included
- What you getA comps table with title, author, year, publisher or self-published, format prices, rating and review count, store categories, why it is comparable and a source link with date, plus the two or three strongest comps for a query letter, as text you can copy or download as a file.

What we need from you
Your book's genre, a short synopsis or blurb, target readers, word count, whether you are querying agents or self-publishing, and books you think are similar.
We will ask you:
- What is your book about, and in which genre?
- Are you querying agents or self-publishing?
- Who are your readers?
- Which books do you think are similar?

Questions and answers
Why not compare my book to a mega-bestseller?
Agents tend to read that as unrealistic. We favour recent, well-received books of similar scale, and note any big name only as a reference.
Do you read the books?
We work from descriptions, reviews and sample pages that are public, with links.
Do you cover non-fiction too?
Yes. For non-fiction we focus on the reader problem and author angle, which matters for a book proposal.
