What you can do
Put Google Review Analysis to Work
Review growth over time
Follow weekly review growth and recent review velocity to see whether activity has accelerated compared with the available history.
Ratings in context
Look beyond the overall star rating with rating patterns and the individual reviews behind the analysis.
Unusual patterns to inspect
Inspect signals such as bursts of activity or similar review text. Open the evidence and interpret it in context.
Competitor review comparison
Analyse your business and its current top five GridBeacon competitors, then compare their ratings, review totals and stored analysis results.
Optional AI explanations
Generate a plain-language explanation of the prepared metrics and suggested next actions. AI explains the results; it does not calculate or change classifications.
Saved analysis history
Return to stored results without paying to view them. Select earlier analyses to inspect the business at another point in time.
Step by step
From Setup to Your Next Decision
Choose a business
Open Review Intelligence for your business. Choose your own profile or an eligible competitor discovered by GridBeacon.
Run the analysis
Retrieve up to 500 recent public reviews. GridBeacon reserves 50 credits and returns the unused amount after calculating the final charge.
Inspect the evidence
Read growth charts, rating patterns and individual review signals. Use the public review link when you want to check the original.
Decide what to investigate
Generate an optional AI explanation or compare with a saved analysis. Use the findings to guide a manual review of your reputation activity.

Built around your work
A Clearer Picture for Owners and Agencies
Business owners
Understand changes in review activity and ratings before choosing what to investigate with your team.
Local SEO agencies
Add review evidence to a client's visibility discussion and compare eligible competitors without guessing from star ratings alone.
Businesses with several branches
Analyse each branch separately to understand its local review patterns. Each profile uses its own analysis credits.
Unusual patterns are signals for manual interpretation, not proof that reviews are fake. Results cover up to 500 recent reviews and depend on the public data available; this tool does not remove reviews or publish responses.

Google Review Analysis: Questions
Is Google review analysis free?
Review Intelligence requires a paid GridBeacon plan. An analysis costs 10–50 credits. Saved results are free to view, and an optional AI explanation costs 5 credits.
Can I analyse every review a business has?
Each analysis retrieves up to 500 recent public Google reviews. A business with more reviews will have only part of its review history analysed.
Can GridBeacon prove a review is fake?
No. GridBeacon identifies unusual patterns and displays supporting signals for manual interpretation. Those signals do not establish authenticity or intent.
Can I analyse competitor reviews?
Yes. Your own business and the current top five GridBeacon competitors are eligible. Each analysis is charged separately.
Does the AI calculate the risk classification?
No. The analysis calculates the metrics and classifications first. The optional AI explanation interprets those prepared results.
