Know your small business.
More is public about your business than you have ever seen.
Inside a report
What people say across Google, Yelp, TripAdvisor, Facebook and the BBB: how the ratings compare platform to platform, what gets praised, and what keeps coming up. Where a claim rests on a single review, the report says so.
Rating by platform
What they love
What they wish
Where it comes from
The rating, the written reviews, the owner's replies, and the listing details customers see before they ever visit.
The second rating that often disagrees with the first, and the reviews behind the disagreement.
Ratings and reviews with a traveler's eye, where the business is listed at all, which is itself worth knowing.
The page, its recommendations, and how actively the business speaks for itself there.
Accreditation and the letter grade, where the BBB lists the business.
The Comptroller's franchise and sales tax records, TABC licensing, mixed beverage receipts, workers' compensation coverage, and state licensing registers, matched to the business by address and entity name.
Inspection scores and dates from city and county health departments, including Austin, San Antonio, Houston, Harris County and Williamson County.
IRS nonprofit filings, plus EPA environmental compliance, FMCSA motor carrier records, CMS long-term care and the national health provider registry, consulted where they apply to the kind of business.
The county appraisal record for the premises, and building permits where the city publishes them.
Households and incomes around the premises and across the city, city sales tax trends, nearby pending alcohol license applications, and the county's average wage for the industry, from US Census, Comptroller and Bureau of Labor Statistics data.
What it says, what it is missing, how it has changed over the years in the Internet Archive, the mail and security records behind the domain, and how long the domain has existed.
Every report lists which of these were consulted, which returned information, and which could not be read on that occasion. A source that gave us nothing is named, not skipped.
Ways to work together

One report, on a business of your choosing.
Quarterly
Three reports and one comparison.
Annual

Reports are requested whenever you want them within the period, each one is prepared after you ask for it, the first lands within a few business days, and everything stays in your portal.
Questions owners ask
- No. Most people start with themselves, because that is the report that changes how you see the rest. After that it is your call. A competitor, a location you are thinking about, the place that opened down the street.
- Software gathers the public records and drafts the report. Our team at KYSB reads every report before it is delivered to your portal, and we email you when it is ready. You can also save any report as a PDF from your portal. There is no tool for you to log into and operate.
- No. Everything in a report comes straight from the sources we pulled, and when a source cannot be read, the report tells you so.
- The first report lands within a few days of you filling out the form.
- There are a couple of ways to work together depending on what you need. Tell us about your business and we will talk it through.
Start with yours. Then look wherever you want.
