The Manual Analysis Bottleneck
Remember the last time you tried comparing competitor pages? Browser tabs everywhere. Spreadsheets that could make an Excel pro cry. And after hours of copy-pasting, you’re still not sure if you’ve caught all the patterns that matter.
The traditional approach to competitor analysis is broken:
- Manual page inspection
- Individual content extraction
- Inconsistent comparisons
- Missed patterns
- Analysis paralysis
- Outdated insights
