Learn moreWhy it matters
A blog feed, a changelog entry, a sitemap URL, and a newsroom announcement each tell you something different about what a competitor is doing. Tracking the wrong source means missing the movement that matters for your team.
Choosing a monitoring type is about matching the source to the decision you need to make, whether that is content planning, SEO discovery, product positioning, or market awareness. The review workflow stays the same across every type.

Trust and compliance

What is a monitoring type?
A monitoring type is a category of competitor source Content Radar can track, such as an RSS feed, a sitemap, a competitor blog, a changelog, a newsroom, a product update page, or a resource hub.
How do I choose which monitoring type to use?
Start from the decision you need to support. Use blogs and resource hubs for content planning, sitemaps and feeds for SEO discovery, and changelogs, product updates, and newsrooms for product and market signals.
Can I combine more than one monitoring type for a competitor?
Yes. A single competitor can have several sources attached at once, such as a blog feed, a sitemap, and a changelog, all feeding into the same candidate review queue.
Does every monitoring type use the same review workflow?
Yes. What differs is how each source is fetched. New content from any monitoring type enters a candidate queue for your team to accept, skip, or flag.
