This guide will walk you through the key components of the Competitor Landscape & Email feature and explain how to use the insights to optimize your marketing efforts.
1. Brand Awareness & Growth Trends
Understanding how well-known a competitor's brand is can help you gauge their market position and advertising effectiveness. The Brand Awareness section provides insights into:
Brand Search Volume – The number of times a competitor’s brand was searched on Google, indicating their visibility and customer interest.
Monthly Growth Rate – The percentage increase or decrease in searches over the last month.
Yearly Growth Rate – The long-term trend in brand awareness over the past year.
How to Use This Data:
If a competitor is experiencing rapid growth, analyze their marketing strategies and consider adopting similar tactics.
If their search volume is declining, it may indicate ineffective campaigns or shifting customer interest, presenting an opportunity to capture their market share.
2. Competitor Advertising Strategies
This section provides an overview of your competitors' Facebook ad activity, allowing you to track their paid marketing efforts.
Active Ads Count – The number of Facebook ads currently running.

Identify how aggressive competitors are with paid advertising.
Spot trends in the type of ads they run (e.g., discount-focused vs. branding).

Tip: If a competitor has a large number of active ads, it might indicate that they are scaling their campaigns. Consider analyzing their messaging, visuals, and offers.
3. Email Marketing Strategy Analysis

Email Frequency – The number of emails sent per week.
Best Performing Days – Identify which days competitors send the most emails.

Reviewing competitor emails can inspire subject lines, promotions, and formatting improvements.
Tip: If a competitor sends emails on a specific day consistently, test a similar approach to see if it improves your open rates.
