Stop guessing what to write next

Most content teams do competitive research in bursts: a few hours before a planning cycle, a quick scan before writing a piece, or an ad hoc browse when someone notices a competitor published something interesting. The result is an editorial calendar built on incomplete information.

Content Radar gives content teams a persistent view of supported competitor publishing activity. Feed and sitemap content enters the tracked library, while alert-based and manually discovered links wait for approval. Source health and live summaries keep the evidence and its limitations visible.

Workflow

From supported source to reviewed editorial evidence in five steps

1

Add your key competitors

Discover or add relevant competitors, then connect supported RSS, Atom, or sitemap sources for their public publishing activity.

2

Add new publishing activity

New content from supported feeds and sitemaps is added to the tracked library with competitor and source attribution.

3

Review new content as it surfaces

Review new content with clear status controls. Links from Google Alerts RSS or manual research stay separate until approved or dismissed.

4

Save the evidence worth discussing

Use New, Reviewed, Saved, and Archived states to keep selected competitor content ready for team review.

5

Apply the evidence in planning

Use the reviewed source material in the editorial planning and analysis process your team already follows.

Editorial planning

Plan with three layers of evidence

Competitor publishing is one input to an editorial calendar, not the whole plan. Treat it as evidence for a planning hypothesis, then check that hypothesis against search data and what you know about your audience.

1

Search evidence

Keyword demand, intent, and search results from the SEO tools your team already uses.

2

Audience and product priorities

Customer questions, product knowledge, and the topics your team can cover with real authority.

3

Competitor publishing evidence

What relevant competitors recently published through supported sources, reviewed in Content Radar. It can support or challenge a topic idea, but it does not prove demand on its own.

Example: a short weekly review

  1. 1Check source health so a quiet week is not mistaken for no competitor activity.
  2. 2Work through new Candidate URLs: confirm the relevant ones, dismiss noise, and mark duplicates.
  3. 3Mark new Articles as Reviewed, Save the ones worth discussing, and Archive the rest.
  4. 4Write down repeated topics as hypotheses to check against search and audience evidence.
  5. 5Bring saved Articles and hypothesis notes to the next editorial planning session.

An example routine. Adjust the steps and timing to how much your competitors publish.
