Questions, answered
Where do I tell WebRun which competitors to track?
Add their business names and locations to a 'Competitors' tab in your tracking sheet. WebRun reads from there each run.
Does it post anything on the competitor listings?
No - it only reads public ratings and logs them. Nothing is written anywhere on the competitor pages.
How far back can I see trends?
As far back as you've been running the template. Each week adds a dated row, so you build a full trend dataset over time.
