Sources for rivals explained
Sources are the social, ads, and website inputs Spiderlook scans for each rival.
Which platforms are supported?
- Social: Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, X
- Ads: Meta Ads, Google Ads
- Website: site URL and watched pages
Where do I connect sources?
Connect during Add a Rival or later on the rival Sources tab. Discovery can suggest social links from the website; confirm before crawling. Failed discovery is common — enter URLs manually and continue.
How do daily scans relate to Sources?
Each source can participate in daily scans. Use the Daily scans switch on Sources to include or pause scheduled analysis for the rival. Manual Refresh still works when the schedule is off, subject to usage.
What are Focus chips for?
Focus chips tell Spiderlook which themes to prioritize on a noisy source so Signals stay useful. Set them during Add a Rival or later on Sources, then leave Daily scans on for sources you still care about.
