StreetSpring computes this by projecting the business's market share, which is based on the quality and quantity of primary, secondary, and tertiary competitors. Our analysis covers businesses serving the 24 largest metros in America. Some of the best-performing locations are surrounded by complementary competitors that drive foot traffic. StreetSpring uses its own proprietary forecasting tools to make these predictions.
