Frequently asked questions

CompetitionScope researches your closest competitors on the live web and turns what it finds into a ranked report with a prioritized plan. You answer 10 short questions about your business and we do the research.

We use your answers, such as what you sell, who you sell to, where you are struggling, and any rivals you already know, to search the web for the companies you are most likely competing with. Each one gets a match score, and we study its positioning, pricing signals, marketing channels, and apparent scale.

Most reports finish in about a minute. Occasionally it takes up to 2 minutes, so keep the tab open while we work.
