Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer free sample reports?
Yes. Click here to download a free sample of The Location Study here.
What are the best search parameters?
The best search parameters for your results will depend on if your location is rural, suburban, or urban. Major highways, bodies of water, and railroads may also affect your search parameters. We highly recommend scheduling a free consultation with a Specialist who will provide recommended guidelines based on your situation. Contact us today.
Why do I need two Search Area Methods?
We recommend the first parameter to reflect the market close to the base location - for example, a 3-mile radius for a typical suburban area.
The second parameter should approximate the overall market - for example, a 15-minute drive time. For either set, choose radius, drive time or custom polygon.
Custom polygons are hand-drawn to eliminate nonapplicable results due to noncompete restrictions, state lines, geographic factors, highways, natural boundaries, bodies of water, etc.
If you are unsure of the best search parameters for your situation, give us a call. It's free.
What is a Realratio?
A Realratio is a proprietary competition ratio standard for each practice type that indicates the point where Locate considers a market to be saturated. Competition ratios are calculated by dividing total population (numerator) to practitioners (denominator). Locate compares the actual ratio for a given market to the Realratio to measure the degree of market saturation. For example, the Realratio for a General Dentist is 2,000. An actual ratio higher than 2,000 would generally indicate the market has potential for an additional practitioner(s). A ratio below 2,000 indicates the area is oversaturated and strategic plans should be carefully evaluated.
How do you validate practitioners in a search area?
We utilize the best national practitioner database possible, as well as validate the existence of practitioners using various manual and internet tools to materially ensure the accuracy of competition ratios.
How do multi-office practitioners affect competition ratios?
When reviewing competitive practitioners for a report, Locate can assign practitioners to more than one location when applicable. For example, if an orthodontist is only practicing out of one office in a search area 2 days a week, we can adjust this from showing as 100% in the search area to 40%. This more accurately reflects the practitioner’s impact on the market.
