The problem it solves

You know your competitors are covering certain topics better than you, but manually browsing their sites and taking notes takes forever and misses patterns. Content strategy decisions end up based on guesswork instead of data.

Who it fits

A marketer, SEO specialist, or agency planning content strategy around competitors.

How it works

  1. Competitor website addresses are pulled from a Google Sheet
  2. Each site is crawled to collect its pages and structure
  3. AI organizes the content into topics, entities, and depth scores
  4. The results are written into Google Sheets automatically
  5. You get an email once the analysis is ready to review
What you get

Competitor content maps ready to explore

You get a full map of competitor content and keywords delivered straight into a spreadsheet for you to study.

What you get

A structured Google Sheet mapping each competitor's content topics and gaps, ready for review.

What you need

A Google Sheets account, an Apify account, and a Google Gemini API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
