Illustrative examples. Fictional companies, real types of sources.
Example · A cookware brand selling on Amazon and its own store
Competitor A added a second factory. A new overseas supplier has shipped them 55 containers since June, mostly their best-selling pans, and volume is rising every month.

Competitor A started shipping its first bakeware line, priced $169–$389.
Source: press release + import records
Competitor B launched a store-exclusive color with a national home retailer and is running creator ads through it.
Source: Meta Ad Library
Competitor C is getting a wave of reviews about its coating wearing out.
Source: public reviews
What to do: Don't chase Competitor A's holiday discounts — new capacity usually means deeper promos. If you sell bakeware, publish a comparison page before their reviews pile up. Lead your ads with your durability testing.

Example · Regional appliance retailer with 7 stores
A brand you carry certified three new smart washers.
Source: FCC
Competitor B is hiring for a new store 3 miles from your flagship.
Source: Job postings
A recalled oven model is still listed on Competitor C's site.
Source: CPSC recalls
What to do: Secure early stock of the newly certified smart washers, prepare to defend your flagship's area as Competitor B staffs up a nearby store, and make sure the recalled oven model isn't still on your own shelves.

Example · Regional builder in Texas
Competitor A pulled twice as many commercial permits as last quarter, mostly in the north of the city.
Source: City building permits
Competitor B won two county contracts, priced below the average bid.
Source: County procurement records
Residential addition permits are rising in two areas where no competitor is active.
Source: City building permits
Competitor C posted 8 openings for site supervisors.
Source: Job postings
What to do: Competitor A's permit surge and Competitor C's new hires both point to more capacity coming online in the north — expect sharper bidding there. Move into the uncovered residential-addition areas first, and price public work lean to match Competitor B's below-average county bids.

Questions
Where does the data come from?
Public government records, public ad libraries, company websites and licensed data providers.
How often will I hear from you?
Monthly on Starter, weekly on Growth and Pro, plus instant alerts for important moves. If nothing significant happens, we send a two-line "quiet week" note instead of filler. You can change the frequency anytime.
What if there isn't much data on my competitors?
Your free sample includes a coverage check. If we can't find enough signals for your competitors, we'll tell you before you pay.
Is this legal?
Yes. Only information that is public or licensed for this use. No logins, no private data.
Can't I just ask an AI chatbot?
A chatbot doesn't watch customs filings and ad libraries every day for your competitors, or remember last month to tell you what changed.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Monthly plans, no contract, full refund within the first 14 days.
