Assisted living competitor analysis

You do not have to know who your competitors are. Census Mastery reads the results Google shows for your care type in your town, by Maps position and review count, with a wider second search when the first one is thin, and picks the top five. Competitors are the established places families compare you with. Placement agencies, office suites, and places that offer a different kind of care from yours (home care, nursing-only centers or 55+ housing, depending on what you offer) are left out, and the tool shows the reason it left each one out. You can swap any of them by hand, and a competitor you choose always stays. Each one gets the same audit you get: every directory, every rating, every review count, every newest-review date. Same measures, same points, same score.

The Competitors panel in Census Mastery: each competitor's Google rating, review count and score ring.

Senior living competitor comparison

The table is for you. The sentences are for your owner and your staff meeting. “Competitor 1 has 96 Google reviews; you have 18.” “Competitor 2 is listed on Seniorly; no Seniorly listing was found for you.” “Your newest A Place for Mom review is over two years old.” Each gap is tied to what it costs in a family’s eyes, and on Full Census and Waitlist each play in your Battle Plan is tied to a gap.

Local competitor analysis for senior living

Reviews per week, for you and every competitor, so you know who is pulling ahead before it shows in the census. And a theme count from the review text itself: how many families mention staff, food, cleanliness, management, activities, safety, compassion, for you and for them, with the negative ones counted separately. When Competitor 3 has 18 mentions of activities and you have one, you have a marketing message you have been leaving on the table.

What Google reviews talk about: theme counts for the community and its competitors, negatives in red.

Market scan, up-and-comers, and who is paying for ads

Once a month, Census Mastery scans every senior living business Google Maps shows within your radius, 10 to 40 miles, ranked by reviews, with growth since last month and a sparkline. Up-and-comer alerts fire when anyone adds 10 or more reviews in a month, adds 5 or more and grows 20 percent, or moves into the Maps top five. One click turns any of them into a tracked competitor. Beside each business that has a website of its own: whether it is paying for Google Ads right now, whether it is running Facebook or Instagram ads, how many, since when. You will know about the new memory care opening across town before your referral sources do, and you will know whether they are buying their way onto page one.

Your market in Census Mastery: senior living businesses in the chosen radius, with Google Ads and Meta ads pills, two tagged as up-and-comers.

Why it matters

Families do not choose you against a national average. They choose you against the two other tours they booked that week. This is the only reputation tool built to show you that fight.
