Curiosity is the mother of invention. Being curious about your competitor’s moves and business strategies is an effective way of determining your capabilities and ranking strategies to bring out the best of your skills and business ideas. The feeling of competency and rivalry works in your favor by helping you concentrate and work towards an innovative space. Businesses that belong to the same niche and genre are often head-to-head for customers. To remain competitive, companies are now resorting to data science and some ranking pros of connected technology to stay on the same page as their competitors.

Ethical competition is a real thing, and it should be noted that its relevance on the internet is as equally important as in offline businesses. In the long run, this is going to work in your favor to retain a loyal and repetitive consumer base. In this post, we are going to discuss the less traversed paths of competitive intelligence and online spying tools that will provide you with concrete insight into the working space, strategies, and ideology of your competitors.

Here are some of the best data science practices that will help you in spying on your competitor’s moves.

Google Alerts

Probably one of the easiest ways to keep a track of your competitor’s every move, Google Alerts is very effective in spying for new online strategies. All you need to do is set up a Google Alerts account to alert you any time your competitor’s name is mentioned in the news, on the web, etc. and you’ll get an exact record of every move that your competitor is making. Every time your competitor gets a mention on the internet, you will receive a notification email (usually a digest of mentions not a single email every time – that would be overwhelming!). You’ll quickly pick up on changes to your competitor’s business model, and new tactics they are exploring. This method has, over time, proven to be the cheapest, fastest, and most effective method to stalking your competitor’s brand.
