Pulse by Picante

What you see
A live ranking of every competitor in your area. Rating, reviews, trend. You know exactly who is ahead and why.
We analyze your competitors' reviews. What their customers value, what they complain about. That is where the opportunities no one else sees are.
Automatic alerts: a competitor's rating went up, they got negative reviews, a new location opened. You know before anyone else.
5 locations, 5 areas, 5 different competitive realities. One dashboard to run them all.
Not just data — direction. Pulse shows you where the gap is and what to move to close it.
This simple
Name, category, location. If you have more locations, you add them. Done.
We scan your area, identify every competitor, and collect rating, reviews, and activity. All automatic.
A live dashboard. Ranking, trends, alerts, opportunities. Updated every week without you moving a thing.
Why it matters
Area
Who is ahead in your radius, with rating, reviews, and trend.
Reviews
What customers value and what they complain about, yours and your competitors'.
Alerts
When a competitor's rating goes up, they get reviews, or a location opens.
Locations
Several locations, each with its own area, in one dashboard.
Pulse updates that picture every week. What you see is your map, not an industry average.
But...
Sure. But every week? For every location? Against every competitor? Tracking trends? Reading their reviews? Noticing when one overtakes you? That is what Pulse does for you automatically. Every week. Without you having to ask.
The risk
A small rating gap between you and your competitor. It looks minor. But Google shows the higher one first. And the customer clicks there.
Every unanswered review tells Google your business is not active. It also tells the customer you do not care. Both penalize you. A good reply takes time — and a voice that does not sound generic.
How many competitors opened in your area this year? Whose rating went up? What are they doing differently? If you do not know, you are competing blind.
Questions
Pulse is web software from Picante Studio for businesses with a physical location. It monitors the area on Google Maps, compares the competition, and replies to reviews in the brand's voice.
It is for restaurant owners, retail and local services, and operations teams that run several locations in cities across the US and Latin America.
It watches the competitor ranking in your radius, their rating, the volume and content of reviews, and changes in profile activity. That shows who is ahead in the area and what moved.
Checking the map by hand does not compare every location against every competitor, and it does not alert you when one overtakes you. Pulse does that follow-up every week and can reply to reviews in your brand's voice, without a generic template.
