Intelligence Beneath the Surface
Set Up Competitor Monitoring
Choose 5 to 10 nearby competitors that compete for the same customers. Record their websites, social profiles, review listings, offers, prices, and key search terms. This creates a focused baseline for local market intelligence instead of collecting irrelevant updates.
Decide which changes require action, such as new promotions, pricing shifts, opening hours, reviews, rankings, or service launches. Set a monitoring cadence, route alerts to one owner, and review a weekly summary to turn notable changes into assigned actions.

More about alert thresholds
Useful market intelligence separates routine activity from changes that could affect revenue, visibility, or customer choice. Define thresholds before turning on automated alerts.
- Send immediate alerts for major price changes, new services, closures, or aggressive promotions.
- Put routine posts, minor review changes, and repeated updates into a weekly digest.
- After 30 days, remove noisy sources and tighten thresholds for alerts that produced no action.
