Competitor Review (add-on)

An audit on your own business tells you where you're losing conversions.

A Competitor Review tells you where the loss is going — to which competitors, on which dimensions, at which point of the journey.

Combined, they're the strongest diagnostic possible: you understand your weaknesses and your competitors' strengths in the same engagement.

How it works

  1. 01

    Pick at least one audit on your business

    Choose at least one audit — Conversion Journey, Digital Experience, AI Experience, or Lifecycle Signals.

  2. 02

    Add the Competitor Review

    Add it as an extension, choosing which of those audit areas to apply to competitors.

  3. 03

    Name 2 to 5 direct competitors

    Minimum 2 — below two, comparative analysis is too thin to be useful. Maximum 5, beyond that the analysis dilutes.

  4. 04

    We run the audits in parallel

    We run the audit on your business in full. We run the same audit on each competitor from the outside, with the same evaluation framework.

  5. 05

    Comparative reading

    You receive your own audit + a competitor benchmark for each chosen area, with a side-by-side reading: where you're stronger, where they are, what's specifically costing you.

Common questions about Competitor Review

Can I buy the Competitor Review on its own?

No. It always extends one or more audits on your own business. Without an audit of your own business as a benchmark, comparing yourself to competitors gives you incomplete information. We don't sell hollow comparisons.

Why a minimum of 2 competitors?

Below 2 competitors, the analysis becomes too narrow to be useful. With one competitor you don't know if what you observe is a competitive standard or an exception. From 2 onwards, you start seeing real patterns.

What can you actually test on competitors from the outside?

A lot. Conversion Journey areas are mostly observable — you can navigate their site, complete their checkout, fill their forms. Digital Experience areas are observable too — usability, mobile, perceived performance. AI Experience is partially observable — we can test their chatbot and public AI features, but not their internal configuration. Lifecycle Signals are the most limited — we can capture them only if we sign up as a customer. We're upfront about what each area looks like from the outside before you choose.

How does pricing work?

Each audit area applied to a competitor has its own cost, lower than the full audit on your business (because external observation is more limited). From the third competitor onwards we apply a graduated discount. Price is locked before we start, after we agree on which audit areas you want extended to which competitors.

How do I pick which competitors to include?

Pick the ones who are competing with you for the same users, in the same buying moment. Not aspirational benchmarks (a $5M business comparing itself to Amazon isn't useful). Not adjacent businesses you find interesting. The competitors users are actually choosing between when they pick you or someone else.

Can I add a Competitor Review to an audit I've already purchased?

Yes, within the same engagement timeline. After the engagement ends, we recommend starting a new audit cycle — the market shifts, your business shifts, and so do the competitors. A fresh comparison every 12-18 months gives the most accurate picture.

What you receive

  • Your standard audit deliverables (map, friction points, roadmap)
  • A comparative benchmark for each competitor, on the audit areas chosen
  • A side-by-side reading: where you outperform, where competitors outperform, where the gap costs you the most
  • Concrete recommendations on what to fix to close the gap, prioritized by competitive impact
  • A 30-day follow-up session, included
