Source monitoring

Source monitoring for competitor content tracking

Content Radar helps teams monitor competitor publishing across structured, public, and user-approved sources such as RSS feeds, sitemaps, competitor blogs, changelogs, newsrooms, product update pages, and resource hubs.

Why it matters

Why source monitoring matters

Competitor content movement is spread across many surfaces: a blog post here, a changelog entry there, a new resource page that never makes it into a newsletter. Checking each of these manually, across every competitor, does not scale.

Source monitoring brings these surfaces into one workspace. Each source is checked on a schedule, new content is queued for review, and your team decides what is worth acting on.

How it works

How source monitoring works

1

Add competitor sources

Attach RSS feeds, Atom feeds, sitemaps, or manual URLs to each competitor you track.

2

Monitor structured or public pages

Content Radar checks each source on a schedule, working with structured feeds and public pages.

3

Detect new content movement

New entries and pages are identified and added to a candidate queue for your review.

4

Review signals and act

Accept, skip, or flag each candidate, then turn what matters into content, SEO, growth, or sales action.

Frequently asked questions

What does Content Radar monitor?

RSS and Atom feeds, XML sitemaps, competitor blogs, changelogs, newsrooms, product update pages, resource hubs, manual URLs, and newsletter sources where the user has approved them.

Does Content Radar use scraping, browser automation, or proxies?

No. Content Radar is designed around public, user-approved, and structured source monitoring. There is no proxy rotation, CAPTCHA bypass, browser automation, deceptive user agents, or robots.txt bypass.

How does new content get into my workspace?

New content from monitored sources enters a candidate queue. Nothing is added to your tracked library automatically. Your team reviews and accepts what is relevant.

Can I monitor a competitor that does not have an RSS feed?

Yes. You can attach a sitemap, or add specific URLs manually. Google Alerts RSS is also available as a compliant discovery fallback.

Is the monitoring workflow different for each source type?

The review workflow is the same across source types. What differs is how each source is fetched, such as reading a feed compared to checking a sitemap for new URLs.

Who is source monitoring built for?

Source monitoring is built for founders and builders, growth, SEO, and content teams, and agencies that monitor competitor publishing for clients.
