RivalSweeper Signals

Check which competitive signals RivalSweeper has for an eCommerce domain, with per-signal freshness (for prices: when a price was last read, plus the share of priced products read in the last 7 days; records counts products, each product once however many variant rows it has; for large catalogs these come from a sample and are marked records_approximate). A signal is available exactly when its tool has data: promotions counts the live offers get_active_promotions_and_coupons returns, prices follow get_brand_price_statistics. Free and non-billable.

Ad & Deal Health, untrimmed: every live ad that points to a broken or out-of-stock page, promotes an expired offer, keeps an evergreen 'urgency' claim, or could not be checked, plus expired homepage banners, with the full ad text, links, landing check and product read. Checks your own store by default, or one named rival.

The brand's last-known DNA competitor set: the closest competing brands RivalSweeper identified for a domain, each with name, website, country and match tier, plus the brand's own DNA profile. Freshness-stamped. Included in RivalSweeper plans (developer API keys: 2 credits, no data = no charge).

Active promotions/discount codes for a brand: code, discount, terms, valid_until. Only live offers (expired and single-use codes left out). Each row says how it is known: verification = seen_on_brand_homepage (read off the brand's own homepage) or third_party_unverified (listed on public coupon sites, not tested at checkout). Freshness-stamped. Included in RivalSweeper plans (developer API keys: 1 credit, no data = no charge).

RivalSweeper 6-pillar AI/agent-readiness score for a domain (schema.org, technical access, content quality, trust, AI-specific, entity recognition) with tier and highlights. Uniquely RivalSweeper data. Included in RivalSweeper plans (developer API keys: 1 credit, no data = no charge).

Whether AI models mention each brand in their answers, split by question kind: brand_named = questions that name the brand ("What do you know about X?", "Compare X with its competitors": shows whether models know the brand, not whether they recommend it unprompted) and unbranded = shopping questions that do not name it (the recommendation test). Each with rate, by model (and the platform serving it), and recent examples. Our own prompt-generation queries (keyword and shopper-question lists) are not citation tests and are left out.

RivalSweeper's weekly race of AI shopping agents buying the same product from your store and rivals: which stores an agent could complete checkout on, where it got stuck, KPIs and findings.

Price statistics (min/max/avg/median) plus recent product samples for a brand, optionally filtered by product-name query. Freshness = when a price was last read; stats also give the share of products whose price was read in the last 7 days and the median read time, and a note flags catalogs where most prices are older. Included in RivalSweeper plans (developer API keys: 1 credit, no data = no charge).

Weekly Brand Radar for your store vs rivals: brands you are missing (white space), where you lead (moat), depth gaps, price position and discount pressure per brand. For multi-brand retailers; returns no data for single-brand stores.

Which products each brand keeps on its homepage and for how long (persistence = share of the observed days on the homepage, slots, best position), with price, currency and markdown, plus the categories it features - a read on what brands are pushing. Window in days (7-365, default 90).

A brand's current homepage top links (up to 10) enriched from its catalog and grouped into Products, Categories and Content, in that order. Per link: title, vendor, price + compare-at/on-sale, currency, stock status, URL status (active/inactive), review rating, homepage position, anchor text and last update. A top-level 'comment' flags when pricing and/or stock status are not captured for the domain. Included in RivalSweeper plans (developer API keys: 2 credits, no data = no charge).

How large language models describe a brand when asked shopping questions, by aspect: brand_reputation, competitor_comparison, product_recommendation, brand_review, industry_landscape, brand_sentiment, recommendation_gap.

Products and pages RivalSweeper first found on each brand's site (sitemaps and catalog feeds) in the last N days, newest first, interleaved across brands. Shopify variant URLs are folded into their product, and a product that only gained new sizes/colours is labelled so. Each item has its tags (names), first_seen (when RivalSweeper first found it: usually within a day of publication, not the brand's own publish date) and sitemap_lastmod when the sitemap gives one; per-brand counts come first. Pages found in a brand's first days of tracking are left out (they existed before). Default last 7 days, up to 50 items (max 200).

RivalSweeper's weekly prediction cards for each tracked rival, as on the Predictions page: what just happened, what is coming up (e.g. Black Friday on last year's timing) and where their ads outpace you.

The technology each brand runs, per brand: e-commerce platform first, then payments, cross-border, email/SMS, reviews and loyalty, search and personalisation, customer service, shipping, analytics, advertising, consent/security and infrastructure, each with its category names. Social networks the site links to are listed apart (a profile link is not a tool the store runs). Up to 40 technologies per brand by default (max_per_brand up to 200); the count left out is stated per brand.

Your dashboard agenda: upcoming holidays and retail events in the countries your brands ship to, news mentions (7 days) and recent catalog activity per brand.
