What tools do you use to track competitors of online store?

Here is what I use

http://socialmention.com/ - social mentions tracking
https://www.google.com/alerts - mentions on the web
http://competera.net/ - online price monitoring
http://www.semrush.com/ - traffic research
http://www.similarweb.com/ - traffic research

What else?

 

Interesting thread, but it takes a lot of time to check and track all information.

 

Google Alert and Mention.com is good for keeping updated with news and PR. If you want to automatically adjust your pricing based on your competitors, you may wish to consider good repricing software such as RepricerExpress.

 

There are also tools that track changes to the code on any particular page. This way, you can monitor what has been added or removed from a particular page. It's useful, because you can review the info in retrospective.

Check out Versionista or VisualPing or Follow that Page.

 

Great listing, And me too needs advice on this.
So let me stay tuned over here for some experts advice.

 

Thank for sharing the name of this great tools, I definitely like to use this software of tracking competitors of online stores.

 

I really advice you to try semrush.com - it's an ideal tool for researching digital competitors!

 

PAARLY.com is the best solution for price monitoring, website product changes, stock, etc.. their tool is very powerful and the service is great, always adding new features to their platform. I worked with another company before and was dissappointed, so I highly recommend PAARLY

 

And for sure you are not working for the companies that you tell us to use ?

 

There are a ton of tools that let you monitor your competitor's prices, but what YOU as an owner must do is make sure you're providing the better experience so your customers keep coming back. It's hard being the small guy with an online store, your main competitors are huge, however if you have the better price and user experience you should be able to take the sale.

Shipping is another big thing to monitor, as people want their items delivered fast. If you can't get the fast delivery your customers want then make it your goal to offer it as soon as possible. Good luck!

 

Way back in 2011-2013, I was a huge fan of KeywordSpy. Anyone still using it? I think Market Samurai does the competition analysis bit too well too.

 

Hello,
For me the best solution is google alerts, I am using it and I am quite happy with it.
