How the Competitor Analysis is Conducted

Often before Five Dog Solutions meets with clients, we will look at similar businesses in your industry. Typically we choose the ones performing the best or ranking high and analyze their website by performing an academy. The competitor analysis typically consists of: Learning who your competitors are. You need to know who you are actually competing against in order to collect accurate data. Just because a business is similar to yours, does not mean their strategies will work for your brand. Competitors will be divided into 'direct' and 'indirect' in relation to how they will affect your business.  Learning which products your competitors sells or offers. The heart of any business is its service or product. The competitor analysis involves analyzing their complete product line, and the quality of those products or services. Included in this analysis is their pricing system and whether or not they offer discounts.  Doing some research into your competitor's sales strategies and what their end result will be. This part of the analysis is a bit challenging as you need to know their sales process and how they are selling their services or products. You also need to know which channels they sell through, and if they have multiple locations or are expanding.  Learning what your competitor's prices are set at, and if they offer any type of perks. This information is important as there are some significant factors involved with properly pricing your products or services. The main factor is knowing and understanding how much your competitors are charging. If you feel your services or products are superior to your competitor's, you might want to charge a higher price. If you do increase your prices over the competitions, you'll need a good sales team to explain this difference.  Learning what competitive shipping costs of products would be. The number one reason a lot of customers leave choices in their shopping cart is due to shipping costs. You want to look at your competitor's shipping rates, and make sure you are meeting, and not exceeding those rates.  Learning your competitor's content strategies. Looking at how your competitor's website is structured will help you determine the best digital marketing strategy for your services or products. Check if they using a blog or creating ebooks and whitepapers. You should also check if they offer webinars or post videos. Determine the technology stack that is being implemented by your competitor. If you know the types of technology your competitor uses, it can be critical to your company. It can allow you to increase momentum and reduce friction. One method of learning the technology stack in your competitor's business is to check their job listings and learn which roles they are filling, such as web developer or engineers.
