# Local competitive landscape Compare like-for-like observations of businesses across defined areas. Produce a traceable market map without turning search-result coverage into a population, demand, revenue, or site-selection estimate. ## Setup and API contract Set `CRAWLORA_API_KEY` to your key from [crawlora.net](https://crawlora.net?utm_source=github&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=crawlora-skills). Run the bundled `scripts/crawlora.sh` from this skill directory or by absolute path. It sends `x-api-key` to `https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1`; keep the key in the environment. Read [reference/endpoints.md](reference/endpoints.md) for exact parameters and response behavior. Check the application `code` as well as HTTP status. Stop on `401`/`403`, back off on `429`, and retry a transient `5xx` once. A failed request is unavailable evidence, not an empty area. Keep Google Maps calls at least one second apart. ## Define a comparable frame 1. Record each named area and its operational boundary: administrative name, radius with center coordinates, or explicit polygon supplied by the user. Record the business concept, inclusion rules, closure treatment, sources, filters, retrieval date, page/limit budget, and whether all available pages or only a bounded sample will be collected. 2. Use identical category, geography type, status filters, dates, pagination, and source mix across areas. Do not treat a Google radius in meters as equivalent to an Apple viewport `sp
