Okay, goodbye, we love you!

And if you’re using another tool that does this, I’d love to hear about it.

Set this up for all your top competitors, and you'll start to get a picture of how often you should be updating to compete. You might even pick up on some other sneaky tactics they’re using.

That’s why you should set up competitor web page change tracking with ChangeTower dot com. It notifies you every time your competitor updates their page and keeps a log of changes for up to 12 months.
