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 means matching a public structured endpoint to the evidence you need. A plain page is not continuously watched, and the ingestion path differs between structured Articles and Candidate URL discovery.
Built for teams
Trust and compliance
Every monitoring type is designed around public, user-approved, and structured source monitoring.
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.
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.
Yes. A competitor can have several supported sources attached at once. Structured feed and sitemap entries write to Articles, while Google Alerts RSS results use Candidate review.
No. Direct RSS, Atom, and sitemap ingestion creates Articles. Google Alerts RSS and manual discovery create Candidate URLs. A manual direct Article import is also available.
