What your client receives — under your name
Exactly as your client receives it, under your name: a sample for a vietnamese pho restaurant in Mesa (invented business). “Your Agency” and the purple become your name and color.
- Golden Ladle Noodle Bar: Raised delivery-app prices about 15% and added "$0 delivery over $25"
- Little Ember Ramen: A ramen shop is opening in the plaza across the street
- In your industry: A local distributor posted higher prices: beef bones and rice noodles up about 8%
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.

🔴 HIGH PRIORITY
Raised delivery-app prices about 15% and added "$0 delivery over $25"
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. Every order that moves from the app to your own pickup link is one you keep the full price on, instead of paying the app's cut.

🟡 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.

🟢 LOW PRIORITY / FYI
Added office catering trays for 10-20 people
Red Kite Teriyaki added a catering page with trays for 10 or 20 people, 24 hours' notice, and free delivery within 5 miles on orders over $150.

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.

Your Google listing now shows different holiday hours than before: Thanksgiving Day and the day after are listed as closed. If that is right, no action is needed. If not, fix it in your Business Profile so customers are not turned away.
No MyIntelBrief branding anywhere in it. This is an example, so 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.
