FAQs

How is it different from Workspace?

Competitive Tracking is an evolution of the Workspace feature. Based on user feedback, and our commitment to increasing speed-to-insight on the platform, we have improved how you can quickly and easily track your direct competitors and gain a holistic view of your landscape.

The main differences are that the Workspace is website-only, limited to up to 5 competitors, and there are no smart insights included in the analysis.

How is Competitive Tracking different from dashboards?

Dashboards are an effective way to analyze your digital performance, where you can combine several reports in one place. The main difference is you analyze up to five competitors at one time (website only) and pin different data points to get the digital full picture.

What other entities will be supported?

In the future, we plan to support Companies (that are built with the upcoming Company Analysis feature) and apps.

How many trackers can I build?

Currently, you can build up to three trackers. In the future, this number will increase based on feedback while the feature is in BETA.

How fresh are the insights?

The insights are refreshed on a weekly basis.

Is this a desktop-only feature?

Yes, Desktop only.

Is the date range fixed?

Yes, the tracker is only available for a fixed range of either 12 months (for Digital Research and Digital Essential packages) or 13 months so that you can continuously track your competitor landscape and dive deeper into specific insights that are surfaced by the platform.

How do I subscribe to email notifications?

Any new trackers you create automatically subscribe you to a monthly email alert (unless you choose not to subscribe).
