Competitor Monitoring System

Set up ongoing competitive intelligence for a client. Monitor competitor content, ads, reviews, social presence, and product moves. Produce regular intelligence reports.

When to Use

"Set up competitor monitoring for [client]"
"Track what [competitors] are doing"
"Monitor [competitor] content and ads"

Prerequisites

List of competitors to track (typically 3-7)
Client context with competitive positioning
Competitor founder/executive LinkedIn profiles (for social monitoring)

Setup Steps

1. Define Competitor Watchlist

Create a competitor tracking file:

clients/<client-name>/intelligence/competitor-watchlist.md

For each competitor, document:

Company name and URL
Key products/features
Founder/exec LinkedIn profiles
Known content channels (blog URL, YouTube, podcast)
Review profiles (G2, Capterra URLs)
Ad library pages (Meta, Google)

2. Initial Competitive Baseline

Run the full competitor-intel composite for each competitor to establish a baseline:

Skill: competitor-intel (chains reddit + twitter + linkedin + blog + review scrapers)

Plus:

Skill: meta-ad-scraper — Scrape their current Meta ads
Skill: google-ad-scraper — Scrape their current Google ads
Skill: review-scraper — Pull latest G2/Capterra/Trustpilot reviews

Output:

clients/<client-name>/intelligence/competitor-baseline.md

3. Configure Monitoring Cadence

What to Monitor	Frequency	Skill	What to Look For
Blog/content output	Weekly	blog-scraper	New posts, topic shifts, SEO attacks
Social media posts	Weekly	linkedin-profile-post-scraper + twitter-scraper	Messaging changes, product announcements, engagement patterns
Reddit/HN mentions	Weekly	reddit-scraper + hacker-news-scraper	User sentiment, complaints, praise, feature requests
Ad creative changes	Bi-weekly	meta-ad-scraper + google-ad-scraper	New campaigns, messaging shifts, spend changes
Review sentiment	Monthly	review-scraper	New reviews, rating trends, common complaints

4. Run Monitoring

Each monitoring cycle:

Run the relevant scrapers for the cycle type
Compare new data against the baseline/previous cycle
Flag significant changes:
- New product features or pricing changes
- New content targeting our client's keywords
- Negative review trends (poaching opportunity)
- New ad campaigns (messaging intelligence)
- Founder/exec public statements about strategy

5. Produce Intelligence Report

After each cycle, produce a brief intelligence summary:

# Competitor Intelligence — [Client] — Week of [Date]

## Key Changes
- [Competitor A] published 3 new blog posts targeting "[keyword]"
- [Competitor B] launched new Meta ad campaign focused on [theme]
