Daily competitor scans vs. real-time monitoring
In short: Spiderlook runs scheduled daily scans on every rival’s selected sources and lets you trigger an additional refresh when you can’t wait for the next scan. It is not a real-time monitoring tool.
Daily is fast enough for real decisions
Campaign reviews, client reports and planning meetings don’t need second-by-second alerts. They need a clear picture of what changed since the last scan, grouped into signals you can act on.
What a daily scan gives you
- A consistent comparison point: today against the previous scan.
- Changes grouped into signals instead of dozens of separate notifications.
- An activity history you can compare over time.
When you can’t wait for the next daily scan
Some moments can’t wait for the schedule: a competitor launch, or a client meeting in an hour. For those, Spiderlook lets you trigger an additional refresh of a rival’s sources. Each plan includes a manual refresh allowance.
What Spiderlook does not do
Spiderlook is built around daily competitive scans rather than continuous real-time monitoring. Projects are scanned on a daily schedule, with additional refreshes when you need data sooner.
