We’ve recently talked about the importance of knowing your competition, known as competitive intelligence. Remember, competitive intelligence means seeking, analyzing and exploiting information about its company, its competitors and its sector of activity, with the aim of increasing its productivity and competitiveness. Not only will it make you aware of some of the changes in the industry, but it will help grow your own business.
Now we know that it is easier said than done, to be aware of your competitive environment, and this is why we are offering you some tools that will help you through the process. It is easier than you think to peak into your neighbor’s rankings, used keywords, traffic and demographics. Some of these tools are completely free, some cost some money: you obviously don’t need to use them all, just pick and choose the ones that works best for you and your business.
TIP: you can use these tools to spy on your business, and analyze your strengths and weaknesses. This will help you be more efficient in adding or modifying elements in your business, since you will know where to focus your energy!
