If your competition is looking at your company’s presence on social media, then they’re already one step ahead of you. However, as a marketer, founder, or employee within your business, you are responsible for assisting in its growth.

Ognjen Vukovic of Reportz gave a few paragraphs on how competitive analysis is vital for business:

We at Four Dots use multiple instruments and methods to track and outperform specific clients’ competitor activities, including social behaviour pay-per-click metrics, as well as SEO/SEM statistics.

Here’s an example of the reason why keeping track of your competitors’ use of Social Media is essential.

 

Do your research on the market

Before you start any business, you should conduct your research. First, do your research on the market. Create a spreadsheet, and then write down all the information you can discover about your competition or customers you might want to contact.

Tomer Aharon, the co-founder of Poptin.com, revealed their method of conducting market and competitive research:

“Before any product we create, we research the competition to find out all we can talk about the market. We compile a spreadsheet with the names of all our competitors. We also note the names of the founders and when the company was established and the number of employees they have and which distribution channels they have, as well as where their majority of traffic comes from, as well as their pricing features, and go through their blog posts, as well as the favourable and negative reviews they received so that we can take lessons from the mistakes they made.”

Personally, when I began my first company, advisors and mentors from various accelerators suggested that I conduct a meticulous study of competitors, as the odds of making a mistake are high. Additionally, Yam Regev at Zest gives his top tips for distributing content on our webinar on SMFam.
