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
For a dentist, plumber, gym or beauty salon, the real competition is the five or ten businesses that show up when someone nearby searches for the service. We look at them the way a customer does: their map listings and ratings, what reviews praise and complain about, services and prices where they publish them, booking options, opening hours and how their websites present them. You see where you stand in your area and what would make customers pick you.

Questions and answers
How do you choose which competitors to include?
We start with those you name and add businesses that appear prominently in public map and search results for your service in your area.
Can you see their real prices?
Only what they publish on their sites, listings or price lists. Where prices are hidden, the table says so.
Will you improve my map listing?
We list concrete changes for your listing and site, and you make them yourself; we do not need access to your accounts.
