What your client receives — under your name
This is an illustrative sample brief for a vietnamese pho restaurant in Mesa, rendered exactly as white label clients get it. “Your Agency” and the purple are placeholders for your name and brand color. There is no MyIntelBrief branding anywhere in it. The business and its competitors are fictional. Because the businesses are made up, each item names the kind of source instead of linking it; in a real brief, the Sources line links the actual page it was read from.

Two high-priority items for Banyan Leaf Pho House warrant action this week.
A ramen shop is opening in the plaza across the street
A "coming soon" banner for Little Ember Ramen went up in the plaza across the street, and they posted job ads for cooks and cashiers this week. Their posts mention a lunch combo and online ordering for pickup. They are not open yet.

Golden Ladle Noodle Bar's large pho is now $17.25 on DoorDash and Uber Eats (it is $14.95 at the counter), and most other items went up by about the same. At the same time they added "$0 delivery fee on orders over $25" on both apps. Their in-store menu did not change.

🟡 MEDIUM PRIORITY
A local distributor posted higher prices: beef bones and rice noodles up about 8%
A regional Asian-foods distributor that serves the East Valley posted a price update on its public website yesterday: beef bones, brisket and dry rice noodles go up about 8% at the start of next month. Every pho shop that buys from them pays the same increase.

Five reviews this month say delivery pho arrived cold or soggy
Jasmine Hill Thai & Pho has five new 1-2 star reviews this month about delivery: soup arrived lukewarm, noodles soaked through, and one says the broth leaked in the bag. All five ordered through an app.

Gripe Gap — where you may have an edge
Your reviewers praise something that competitors’ customers complain about. “Possible” means the competitor side rests mostly on their lowest-rated reviews, which we read on purpose.
Your reviewer: “They pack the broth separately and it was still steaming when I got home”
→ If that matches what you see, say it where people compare you — your Google Business Profile and your website. Don't name or knock the competitor. Ask a few customers first whether it's why they chose you.
Not an edge yet
- Getting orders right: customers complain about missing items in the bag at 2 competitors, and 2 of your reviews raise missing items in the bag too.
