What this means for Pune businesses
- Your real competition is the top 3 for your category in your own area, not the whole city.
- Food, jewellery, hospitals and sweet shops are crowded: the top 3 have collected reviews for years.
- Professional and home services (lawyers, CAs, plumbers, electricians, real estate) are far more open.
- Reviews are one factor. The right category, accurate details, photos and regular activity matter too.
