If you're only looking at your competitor's homepage, you're missing 90% of the picture. True competitive intelligence comes from triangulating data from multiple public sources.

Here are the top 5 goldmines for competitive data that DataGrab can harvest for you.

1. Job Boards (Greenhouse, Lever)

Why? Hiring reveals strategy.

  • Suddenly hiring 5 sales reps in Germany? They're expanding.
  • Hiring React Native devs? A mobile app is coming.

2. Review Sites (G2, Capterra, Trustpilot)

Why? Customer sentiment analysis.

  • Scrape 1-star reviews to find their product gaps.
  • Scrape 5-star reviews to see what their users love (and copy it).

3. Social Media & Ad Libraries

Why? messaging testing.

  • Meta Ad Library and LinkedIn Ads show you exactly what value props they are paying to promote.

4. Documentation & Changelogs

Why? Product velocity.

  • tracking their public changelog reveals how fast they ship and what features they prioritize.

5. Pricing Pages

Why? Obvious, but critical.

  • Track pricing changes over time to spot discounting trends or upstream market moves.
