Source monitoring

Source monitoring for competitor content tracking

Content Radar monitors supported public RSS, Atom, and sitemap endpoints. Blogs, changelogs, newsrooms, product updates, and resource hubs require one of those structured paths or a user-selected manual URL workflow.

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 supported structured endpoints into one workspace. Successful feed and sitemap checks create Articles directly, while Google Alerts RSS and manual discovery create Candidate URLs for review.

How it works

How source monitoring works

1

Add competitor sources

Discover or attach public RSS, Atom, and sitemap endpoints, or use an explicit manual URL path.

2

Check supported structured sources

Run a source check manually or use the configured daily ingestion schedule. Plain pages are not watched for arbitrary changes.

3

Detect new content movement

New feed and sitemap entries are normalized, deduplicated, and written directly to Articles.

4

Review signals and act

Review Article statuses. Confirm or dismiss Candidate URLs from Google Alerts RSS and manual discovery.

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.

Direct RSS, Atom, and sitemap ingestion writes unseen entries directly to Articles. Google Alerts RSS and manual discovery write Candidate URLs that require confirmation before becoming Articles.

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

No. Structured feeds and sitemaps create Articles directly. Google Alerts RSS and manual discovery use Candidate URL review, and direct selected URL imports can create Articles.
