Why local market research matters for small businesses.

Most small business owners make decisions in the dark. You feel competitors changing prices, running new promotions, or getting more reviews, but you only see pieces.

Grian brings the full picture into view, in one calm, clear briefing.

How it works.

Designed for busy owners. No dashboards. Just clear, periodic briefings.

We map your local market.

Territory definition, competitor identification, baseline analysis.

We track movement and patterns.

Reviews, visibility, pricing, offers, and new entrants.

You receive clear briefings.

What’s happening, why it matters, and where to focus next.

Only one business per local area receives full access.

Grian works with a single business per geographic area. Once a territory is assigned, we do not work with direct competitors. This protects your advantage and keeps our research ethically clear.

Why serious local operators invest in research.

Strong local businesses aren’t built on guesses. They’re built on quiet awareness, of competitors edging closer, expectations changing, and opportunities forming at the margins.

Our role is to observe the market for you and provide calm, data-driven clarity.

Not a marketing agency. Not a software tool.

Grian is a boutique research firm focused exclusively on local competitive intelligence.
