How Competitor Watch detects changes on competitor websites

Change Detection

Competitor Watch uses advanced AI-powered algorithms to detect changes on competitor websites.

How It Works

  1. Initial Snapshot: When you add a site, Competitor Watch captures an initial snapshot
  2. Regular Checks: The system checks sites at configured intervals (hourly, daily, or weekly)
  3. Change Detection: AI algorithms compare new snapshots with previous ones
  4. Analysis: Changes are analyzed and categorized by type and significance
  5. Notification: You're notified of important changes

Detection Methods

  • Semantic Analysis: Understands the meaning and context of changes

Change Categories
