The problem

Competitor intelligence at most companies is somebody's Google doc.

Quarterly review. Manual screenshots. Half the data is already stale by the time the deck circulates.

Lag

Quarterly review = constant lag.

If you only check competitor positions every 90 days, you've lost 90 days of optimization on every move you missed.

No actuation

Spotted a gap. Now what?

Most tools surface gaps as a list. Building 184 blog posts manually is impossible; the backlog never ships.

Toxic links unflagged

Disavow file is months out of date.

PBN attacks, link farms, scraper sites build toxic links daily. Manually maintained disavow files miss most of them.

How it works

Scrape. Diff. Detect. Queue.

Every keyword + competitor pair gets a daily SERP snapshot, diffed against yesterday.

01 · Scrape

SERP + backlinks

Daily SERP scrape via DataForSEO across tracked keywords + regions. Backlink graph refreshed weekly. Schema, price, structured-data extracted on every page-touch.

02 · Diff

Yesterday vs today

Position changes, new entrants, dropouts, snippet ownership transfers, AI Overview appearances. Surfaced as typed events with traceId.

03 · Detect

Gap + toxic + opportunity

Content-gap detector finds queries competitors rank for that you don't. Toxic-link detector flags PBN/spam patterns. Snippet-loss flags rapid CTR drops.

04 · Queue

Auto-route to handlers

High-confidence gaps queue to blog generation. Toxic links auto-build disavow file. Snippet-loss alerts surface in dashboard + Slack.

The pipeline

Four sources. One detector. Four destinations.

The exact runtime topology. Hover any node to inspect.

How it is used

Three ways this earns its place.

Capability, not customer outcomes - we have none to report yet.

Top-3
competitor gap threshold

Queries competitors rank for and you don't

Feed in your competitor set and the gap detector returns the queries where they hold top-3 positions and you have no ranking page at all, ordered by search volume. It is a work queue, not a forecast - what the queue is worth depends on which items you actually ship.

Daily
SERP snapshot

Structural changes on competitor sites

A daily SERP snapshot means a competitor's 301, a new template or a schema change shows up as a diff within hours rather than as an unexplained position loss weeks later. The engine surfaces the redirect chain and the link-equity path; deciding whether to replicate it is your call.

Auto
disavow file build

Backlink hygiene and disavow build

DataForSEO-backed ingest classifies toxic backlinks (PBN, link-farm, spam) and assembles a disavow file ready for submission. Volume depends entirely on your link profile, so the engine reports what it finds on yours rather than a weekly average from someone else's.
