Competitive Intelligence allows you to compare your e-reputation with that of your competitors. To ensure relevant results, an initial setup is necessary.


Prerequisites

Before starting, make sure that:

  • You have the products Presence Management and Review Management + (mandatory)

  • Your tags are correctly configured in RM+
    👉 These tags will be used for competitive analysis: their quality is essential to obtain relevant results.

Do not hesitate to contact your customer success if you have any doubts about this!


Access settings

Go to:

Settings ⚙️ → Statistics → Tags & Analysis

From this page, you can configure:

  • your tags

  • the analysis of your reviews (Review Management +)

  • your competitive analysis (Competitive Intelligence)


Step 1: Define the overall analysis level

The overall analysis level of Competitive Intelligence depends on your setup for analyzing your own reviews:

  • If your review analysis is set at the organization level, the competitive analysis will be automatically applied at this level.

  • If it is set at the group level, the competitive analysis will be offered at the group level.

Note:
Whatever the chosen level (organization or group), you will have access to a detailed analysis by Business.


Step 2: Define the analysis language

The language used for competitive analysis corresponds to the one chosen for analyzing your own reviews.


Step 3: Add your competitors and keywords

Click on “Configure” to open the full setup.

Selection of competitors

  • Up to 10 competitors maximum

  • Possible distribution by group (e.g., 2 competitors for 5 groups)

👉 Remember to add:

  • the different spellings of the name

  • the variants and abbreviations

  • the competitor's website


Selection of keywords

  • Up to 3 keywords if your setup is done at the organization level

  • Up to 1 keyword per group if your setup is done at the group level

👉 These keywords help correctly identify your competitors in the reviews.


Step 4: Launch the analysis

Once the setup is complete:

👉 Click on “Save and launch the analysis”

  • The analysis of the last quarter will be available in the following days.

  • Subsequent analyses will be updated automatically each quarter.
