DrivenSuite: RivalRadar — Watch Your Competition
RivalRadar watches your competitors so you don't have to. Pick the three or five businesses you compete with locally, and DrivenSuite reports on what they're doing — new menu items, new prices, new ads, new reviews — without you ever opening their website.
What RivalRadar tracks
For each competitor you add, RivalRadar monitors:
- Their website — new pages, price changes, new product or service listings.
- Their Google Business profile — new reviews, photo uploads, hours changes, promotions.
- Their ads — what they're running on Google and Facebook (when visible).
- Their menu / catalog — if they publish one online, changes are flagged.
- Their social presence — follower counts, posting cadence.
Setting up a competitor
- Go to RivalRadar → Add Competitor.
- Enter their business name, website, and city.
- RivalRadar finds and links their Google Business profile, social accounts, and ad library entries.
- Pick which channels you want monitored.
- Save. The first scan runs immediately.
The weekly report
Every Monday morning you get one email with everything that changed across all your tracked competitors in the past week:
- New reviews (and your competitor's review score trend)
- Price changes
- New offerings or removed offerings
- New ad creative
It takes 90 seconds to skim. That's the whole point.
The playbook view
For each competitor, RivalRadar maintains a playbook — a running profile of:
- What they offer
- How they price
- What their customers complain about (from review mining)
- What you offer that they don't (and vice versa)
This is gold when you're rewriting your website or planning a promotion.
Why this matters
Competitors change pricing and offerings constantly, and the only people who notice are usually their other competitors. Being the owner who notices a week sooner means you can react — match the promo, hold your price with confidence, or pivot to where they have a gap.
Tips
- Pick the three closest competitors, not the biggest names in your industry.
- Read the negative reviews on their profile — those are the prospects you can win.
- Don't copy. Counter. If a rival drops prices, your better move is usually adding value, not a race to the bottom.
