Their new ads, new pages, new jobs and new releases tell you their plan. Our tools collect these facts on a schedule and put them in one sheet.

## The task

Most teams look at competitors only when something goes wrong. Then they open ten tabs and try to guess what changed. The picture is never complete.

With a few scheduled runs you see the changes as they happen: a new ad message, a new pricing page, ten new sales jobs or a new product launch.

| By hand | With our Actors |
|---|---|
| Look at competitor sites only from time to time | A weekly list of new pages and changed titles |
| Hear about a launch from customers | Launches and releases in one feed (status pages coming soon) |
| No history of their ads | Their Google ads from the Ads Transparency Center |
| Guess their next step | New jobs show where they invest |

## How it works

1. **List competitors**: Their domains, career pages and product pages
2. **Run weekly**: Ads, sitemaps, jobs, launches and releases
3. **Compare**: New pages, new ads, new jobs, new versions
4. **Share the report**: Google Sheets, Notion or your team chat

## Questions

### Is competitor monitoring legal?

Our tools read public pages only: ads in the official transparency center, public sitemaps, public job posts. We do not log in to any account.

### How often should I run it?

Weekly is enough for most teams. Run ads and pricing pages daily in busy markets.

### Can I see their Facebook ads too?

Our current tools cover Google ads. Need another ad platform? [Suggest a tool](/partners/#suggest). We read every idea, but we do not promise to build it.

### Do I need to write code?

No. Each tool has a simple form. You can send results to Google Sheets without writing code.
