Ghost Competitor – See Where You Rank, Anonymously
I built this after running a small shop for a year and constantly wondering — am I doing better or worse than the shop next door? Nobody shares that data. This tool gives you a private benchmark against a realistic peer group. No real competitor data is ever exposed.

A note from me
The honest truth about this tool: the peer group is generated, not real. That's by design — real competitor data doesn't exist publicly. But the numbers are modeled to match your category, city, and typical daily volume. Use it as a motivational benchmark, not as market research. The value is in the daily habit — logging your number every day forces you to pay attention to your own trends, which is the real insight.

The ranking was motivational — but the real value was noticing a slow Tuesday trend and running a promotion.
